About Stophy

Stophy is an interface between an AI agent and the websites it needs to read. The agent makes one plain HTTP call with a bearer key, such as a Google search request, and Stophy deals with bot checks, browser fingerprints, proxies in many regions and automatic retries before returning data. The directory listing describes YouTube search, transcripts, comments and channel inspection among its uses.

Billing is by credit: a call that returns data uses a credit, and blocked or failed calls cost nothing. Error messages indicate whether retrying makes sense and how long to wait. Examples are shown in cURL, TypeScript and Python, and there is an MCP option and a setup guide for agents. Because it works with plain HTTP, anything that can send a request can use it. The homepage illustrates the problem with a series of block pages that sites return to scripts, such as captchas and rate-limit messages.
