I'm intentionally not storing any details of the request, and certainly did not want to enter into grounds of storing folks API keys for obvious reasons. That being said, I could have it generated a salt encrypted key for you which could be decrypted by my service, this way you are giving it one key, which is really both of your keys to be used. Is that the kind of thing you had in mind?

I meant more like removing the bee dependency and using something that doesn't even need an API (like building it yourself or an open source scraper). if I could just plug my OpenAI key straight in and get started it would be a more seamless experience.

Ok, well that is definitely in the works! In case you use Apify, I've also now published it there and it uses my own keys for OpenAI etc. https://apify.com/zeeb0t/instantapi-ai

Sounds like what Rabbit AI is doing too, with agents. I'm not sure if they're very successful though, since their product flopped.

It's... not what they are doing. It's what they said they were doing. But also, this isn't in a gimmicky (imo) hardware device. It's a general service so anyone can build on top of it.

Yes, I'm just talking about their supposed software, since it seemed pretty similar to what OP said.

Hey there.. I just wanted to update you. I took yours and others feedback seriously, and I have now implemented changes so that the services is now paid. At $0.02 per AI scraped web page, it includes all the proxy, JavaScript rendering, and AI to get the job, all on a single bill :) Thanks for your feedback!
