UnblockingAPI tools (3)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsfind_templatesFreeFind published templates that parse a site into structured JSON instead of HTML. Pass the url you are about to fetch to see whether one already covers it — do this before writing your own extraction for a well-known site. Also searches by keyword or category. Each result shows the fields it returns and an example call; pass its reference as unblock_fetch's template argument. Free — no credit is charged.
get_build_guideFreeRead this before writing code that uses UnblockingAPI - an app, script, scheduled job or backend that fetches web pages (a rank tracker, a listings aggregator, a price monitor, …). Returns the REST API reference for calling it with plain HTTP (no SDK), how to keep the key server-side on platforms like Lovable, Replit and Next.js, how to use templates, and complete recipes. Free. Start with topic 'api', then the recipe that fits.
unblock_fetchFreeFetch a web page through UnblockingAPI's rotating residential proxies and a real browser. Useful for pages a plain HTTP fetch can't read: pages that need JavaScript, refuse automated requests, or show different content by country. Returns the page as Markdown (or cleaned HTML with format: 'html'); select narrows it to the part you need. If content is missing, fetch again with scroll_steps or wait_for. Picks the mode itself by default: a plain HTTP fetch first, and a real browser when the site blocks it or needs JavaScript. Pass a template reference to get structured JSON instead of HTML — call find_templates with the url first to see whether one exists. Costs 1 credit per successful fetch; failures are free.

What the publisher says
From the UnblockingAPI repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
@unblockingapi/mcp
Official Model Context Protocol server and Claude Code plugin for UnblockingAPI. Gives AI apps (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Lovable, Replit, …) a real browser behind rotating residential proxies: fetch bot-protected and JavaScript-heavy pages, and parse any site a published template covers into structured JSON.
Hosted at https://mcp.unblockingapi.com/mcp — add it as a connector and sign in, no install. Or run it locally with npx -y @unblockingapi/mcp.
Tools
Failed requests are free. The server's instructions, tool descriptions and the notes in each response steer the agent: let the API choose plain fetch or browser, check for a template before parsing a known site, scroll or wait when content is missing, and read the build guide before writing code that calls the API.
Templates
A template turns a page into named fields instead of markup. The catalogue is open-ended — search engines, marketplaces, property portals, company registries — and anyone can publish one from the editor. There is no special handling for any particular site: every template, official or community, is reached the same way.
find_templates(url: "https://www.google.com/search?q=…") → kjellberg/google-search
unblock_fetch(url: "…", template: "kjellberg/google-search") → { query, results, related_searches }findtemplates asks the API, which matches the URL against every published template's host, path and required query parameters the same way the template library does ( is one path segment, any deeper path, hosts exact unless the pattern says . or .*), so a match is found however large the catalogue grows. More results than fit come back with a page to ask for next.
If a parser fails because the site changed, you get raw HTML back with parse_error: true rather than an error.
API endpoints behind the tools
Templates are not endpoints of their own: there is no /api/google-search or /api/, only /unblock with template set.
