Show HN: Anno – API that cuts AI web-scraping token costs by 90% (www.evolvingintelligence.ai)

Anno, a newly announced API, revolutionizes AI web-scraping by reducing token costs by an impressive 90%. Users can simply paste a URL, and Anno extracts relevant content in real-time, ensuring the output remains language-agnostic. Its advanced ensemble extraction features a confidence scoring mechanism that filters out unnecessary HTML, ads, and scripts, allowing large language models (LLMs) to access only essential information, significantly optimizing resource usage. This API is particularly notable for the AI/ML community as it equips developers and teams with powerful tools for extracting data from complex web pages, including single-page applications and paywalled content. Anno’s architecture includes robust security measures, like SHA-256 hashed keys and multi-tenant isolation, while its smart throttling mechanism ensures seamless operation without disrupting agent loops. With built-in observability metrics, users can track request counts, latencies, and extraction quality, making it a comprehensive solution for scaling AI-powered applications. Whether for solo developers or teams managing large-scale projects, Anno starts free and is designed to grow along with user needs.
