# ReefAPI

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/reefapi/  
**APIs profiled:** 2

ReefAPI is a unified web-data gateway that fronts 183 production data engines - Amazon, Zillow, Reddit, Trustpilot, LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, Google Maps, Booking.com, StockX, YouTube and more - behind ONE JSON contract, ONE API key and ONE shared credit pool. Every one of its 1,528 operations is POST https://api.reefapi.com/{engine}/v1/{action} with an x-api-key header, and every response - success or failure - is the same { ok, data, meta, error } envelope with a stable error code and a machine-readable `retryable` flag. The company handles proxies, headless browsers, logins and anti-bot walls server-side, so a caller gets parsed JSON from sites that block scrapers, with no per-site plan to buy and no scraper to maintain. Credits never expire, failed or blocked calls cost zero, and a 1,000-credit free tier needs no card. The agent surface is unusually complete: a live hosted MCP server at https://api.reefapi.com/mcp with five discovery-first tools whose manifest is anonymously introspectable, an RFC 9727 /.well-known/api-catalog linkset, a published OpenAPI 3.0.3 on the API host root, llms.txt plus a per-engine markdown twin at /docs/{engine}.md, and a robots.txt that explicitly allow-lists fifteen named AI crawlers.
