What is Apps Manager and how does it fit into my architecture?

Apps Manager is a developer platform and unified control plane combining a free web scraping API, a visual Web Scraping API Builder, a Website to JSON API converter, and an Ed25519 Software License Management engine with hardware node-locking.

Is the web scraping API free?

Yes. Apps Manager provides a free web scraping API tier with Puppeteer headless browser automation, Cheerio HTML parsing, and screenshot capture. You can also connect your own residential edge workers for unlimited scraping without proxy fees.

What is the Web Scraping API Builder?

The Web Scraping API Builder in Apps Manager allows developers to build, test, and deploy custom REST APIs from any website. You map CSS/XPath selectors to JSON fields and publish permanent endpoints with automated OpenAPI documentation.

How do I convert a website to a JSON API?

Apps Manager's Website to JSON API parses web pages, strips boilerplate scripts and styling, casts values into validated JSON schemas, and returns clean structured data with gateway-level caching.

How does Software License Management work in Apps Manager?

Apps Manager uses asymmetric Ed25519 cryptography to issue tamper-proof license tokens bound to machine UUIDs and hardware fingerprints. Client applications verify licenses 100% offline without needing a server connection.

How do Distributed Edge Workers bypass Cloudflare and anti-bot screens?

Edge workers run on your own home or mobile residential IPs over outbound WebSockets. Target websites see genuine residential browser traffic instead of flagged datacenter IPs.
