Show HN: AgentWeb – Free business directory API for AI agents (11M+ businesses) (agentweb.live)

AgentWeb has launched a free, open business directory API designed specifically for AI agents, providing access to data on over 11 million businesses worldwide. This API allows developers to search for businesses by various parameters, including name, category, and geographic coordinates, returning results in under 50 milliseconds thanks to PostGIS-powered radius queries. The data is structured in clean JSON format, optimized for large language models (LLMs) with confidence scores, timestamps, and action URLs that facilitate easy decision-making. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it enhances the capabilities of personal AI agents by providing reliable, up-to-date information on real-world businesses. The API not only includes enriched contact details—such as phone numbers, emails, and social profiles—but also ensures data integrity through confidence scores and source provenance. With a fast caching mechanism serving popular queries in under 5 milliseconds, AgentWeb is tailored for high-frequency workloads, enabling AI agents to interact seamlessly with real-world business information. Developers can access the API instantly without needing a credit card, making it an attractive tool for anyone looking to build intelligent applications.
