Seek API is a marketplace where developers publish, discover, and run managed data workers — without managing infrastructure, proxies, or headless browsers.
Every developer who has tried to build a data pipeline has hit the same walls. Official APIs are too restricted or too expensive to use at scale. DIY scrapers work until the target website changes its layout — then they break silently and need rebuilding from scratch.
Existing platforms like Apify, PhantomBuster, or Make.com solve pieces of the puzzle, but none make it easy to write a worker once, expose it as a simple REST endpoint, and let other developers pay per result. The economics are broken and the developer experience is painful.
We think there is a better way: a quality-reviewed marketplace of managed workers, a dead-simple job API, transparent per-result pricing, and a developer monetisation layer — all in one platform.
Break when sites change. High maintenance. No schema guarantees.
Rate-limited, expensive, and only expose the data the vendor wants to share.
Per-seat pricing, black-box execution, no developer revenue sharing.
Managed workers + per-result credits + marketplace revenue sharing.
Every worker runs in an isolated, auto-scaling container. No infrastructure to manage.
1 credit = $0.001. You pay only for completed jobs. No idle compute charges.
Workers pass a review process before going live. Schema, reliability, and maintenance standards strictly enforced.
Builders earn a cut of every job run on their worker. The marketplace aligns incentives by design.
Three engineers tired of writing the same scraper for the tenth time started Seek API in a Paris apartment. First three workers shipped in the first week.
Opened the platform to outside developers. Reached 500 registered accounts in the first month without any paid marketing.
Crossed 100 published workers and $50K MRR. Launched the worker publishing program — letting third-party developers earn credits and revenue from their workers.
Closed a $4M seed round led by European developer-tools investors. Expanded the core team to 12 engineers and opened an office in Berlin.
Crossed 10,000 active developers and 200 workers. Launched the Pro plan and enterprise credits program. Processing over 2 million jobs per month.
Every decision starts with one question: does this make the developer experience better? Documentation, pricing, and API design are all optimised for the people writing the code.
No seat fees, no platform taxes, no surprise invoices. You pay per result. The credit cost of every worker is shown upfront, and your balance is always visible.
Every worker in the marketplace is reviewed for reliability, output schema quality, and maintenance commitment before it goes live. We turn down more than we accept.
We share our roadmap, our incident post-mortems, and our architectural thinking publicly. An honest status page and a public changelog are non-negotiables for us.
Worker builders earn a percentage of every job run on their worker. We succeed when the people on the platform succeed — their growth is our growth.
Workers run in isolated sandboxes with no network access beyond what the schema declares. API keys are scoped, rotatable, and never logged.
Distributed across Paris, Berlin, and remote — united by a love of good APIs.

Investors who believe great developer-tools companies are worth building slowly and correctly.
We're hiring across engineering, product, and developer relations. If you want to build tools that other developers use every day, we would love to hear from you.
