# Turn any app into an API.

Messages, listings, prices and alerts that only exist inside mobile apps. A real phone runs the app, the agent maps the flow once, and your system gets structured JSON on a schedule or within minutes.

## Why app data stays locked in.

- **The data is app-only**: Supplier chats, local alerts and marketplace listings live in apps with no web version and no API.
- **Scrapers stop at the web**: Web tools never see what the app shows, and the website often blocks automated sessions.
- **An agent per pull is slow**: Running a model on every request costs too much when you need fresh data every few minutes.

## Map it once, pull it forever.

The agent learns the flow once and writes a script. After that a real phone runs it on your schedule, every few minutes if you need it, and pushes clean records to your webhook. When the app changes, the agent takes over again and repairs the script.

- Scripted pulls run without a model on every request. The agent only handles what changed.
- Structured output: messages with sender and timestamp, listings with price and seller, alerts with location.
- Sessions that stay logged in, GPS and IP per city, a webhook on every new record.

## What data teams pull.

- **Mirror an app inbox**: Every message in a marketplace or messaging app becomes a record in your system, attachments included.
- **Feed real-time alerts**: Pull notifications and on-screen updates from local apps every two to five minutes.
- **Extract listings and prices**: Search, scroll and capture listings with price, seller and link, as CSV or JSON.
- **Build a product on top**: Package the feed as your own API, CLI or integration and sell it to your customers.

## Example tasks

- search Facebook Marketplace for a used Toyota Corolla and return every listing as CSV
- open the supplier messenger and export every new message since yesterday as JSON
- check the local alert app every five minutes and send new alerts to my webhook
- list today's offers in the competitor app with name, price and validity as JSON

## Recommended setup

- Developer: $20/month, 5 concurrent phones, 600 device minutes, 1,500 credits ($15)
- Android + dedicated IP (recommended): $64/month billed annually or $80 monthly, apps and sessions persist, dedicated residential IP included, 2,500 credits ($25) per month
- Enterprise: custom limits and SLA, unlimited concurrent phones, outbound SMS, prices agreed individually. Book a call: https://cal.com/christian-ninstel-bvwhql/15min
