What it can do
| Tool | What it says it does |
|---|---|
check_status | Is the tool’s site alive? Returns the scanner verdict, when it was last checked and verified, when pricing was last checked, and a freshness label. |
compare_tools | Side-by-side comparison of 2–5 tools: pricing, summary, categories, tasks, pros, cons, site status, freshness, flags and launch date. |
export_tools | Bulk export of a filtered slice of the catalogue (up to 2,000 rows) as JSON or CSV. Returns a signed download URL valid for 24 hours. Requires an API key. |
find_alternatives | Alternatives to a tool, ranked by freshness, profile completeness, curation and how many other tools list them as an alternative. Each entry carries a rationale. Optionally restrict to the same pricing model. |
get_article | The full markdown body of one article by slug. |
get_tool | Full profile of one tool by slug: description, pricing model and details (with when pricing was last checked), pricing history, pros, cons, FAQs, categories, tasks, media, site status, freshness and up to five alternatives. Ends with a provenance line. |
list_taxonomy | All category or task slugs with names and live tool counts. Use the slugs as filters for search_tools and recommend_for_task. |
list_watches | Active watches on this API key. |
recommend_for_task | Given a job to be done ("create a logo", "transcribe meetings") and an optional budget, returns the best-fitting tools with an explicit rationale per recommendation. Resolves known task slugs first, then falls back to free-text search. |
search_articles | Search 660+ editorial articles (reviews, comparisons, alternatives round-ups, guides) by keywords and optional category. |
search_tools | Search the NeedAnAI catalogue of 15,000+ AI tools by free text, pricing model, category or task. Returns ranked hits with pricing, status, freshness (when the site was last confirmed alive) and canonical URLs, plus facet counts and a separate, labelled sponsored block. Use list_taxonomy for valid… |
submit_tool | Suggest a tool for the catalogue. If its website is already listed the existing listing is returned instead. Requires an API key. |
unwatch_tool | Stop a watch by id. |
watch_tool | Subscribe to status and pricing changes for a tool (checked every 30 minutes). Delivered to an https webhook or email. Requires an API key (free, from https://needanai.com/profile?tab=api-keys). |
