Api Endpoint

nohumans.directory

What AI agents search for when they look for paid APIs and data: the last 30 days of searches on nohumans.directory, refreshed every 15 minutes, grouped by meaning. Each need has example phrasings, searches, distinct clients, and how many results they got (near zero = unmet demand). Use it to decide what paid API or dataset to build. Sellers checking their own listings and lookups of a service's own name are listed apart. A need shows only when 3+ clients asked.
