Solo Dev API Consolidation

The Problem

Solo developers building AI agents juggle 5-7 different API keys for different search types: one for Google results, one for Reddit threads, one for YouTube metadata, one for product prices, one for news. Each vendor has its own authentication pattern, rate limits, billing page, response format, and breaking change cadence. Managing this integration surface is a second job on top of building the actual product.

The Scavio Solution

Consolidate to a single search API that covers multiple platforms. Scavio provides Google, Reddit, YouTube, Amazon, and Walmart search under one API key with a consistent response format. The integration surface drops from 5 vendors to 1: one auth pattern, one rate limit to monitor, one billing page, one response schema. Switch between platforms by changing the 'platform' field in the request body. This frees engineering time from vendor management to product development.

Who It Is For

Solo developers and small teams building AI agents who want to stop managing multiple search API vendors and consolidate to a single integration.

Key Benefits

• One API key replaces 5 vendor accounts
• Consistent response format across all platforms
• Single billing page and rate limit to monitor
• Platform switching is a one-field change
• Credit-based pricing scales with actual usage

Python Example

import requests, os
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}
URL = 'https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search'

def search(platform: str, query: str) -> list:
    resp = requests.post(URL, headers=H,
        json={'platform': platform, 'query': query}, timeout=10)
    return resp.json().get('organic', [])[:5]

# Same function, same response format, 5 platforms:
google_results = search('google', 'best crm 2026')
reddit_results = search('reddit', 'crm recommendations')
youtube_results = search('youtube', 'crm tutorial 2026')
amazon_results = search('amazon', 'crm book')
walmart_results = search('walmart', 'office software')

JavaScript Example

const URL = 'https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search';
const H = { 'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' };

async function search(platform, query) {
  const resp = await fetch(URL, {
    method: 'POST', headers: H,
    body: JSON.stringify({ platform, query })
  });
  return (await resp.json()).organic?.slice(0, 5) || [];
}

// Same function, same format, 5 platforms:
const google = await search('google', 'best crm 2026');
const reddit = await search('reddit', 'crm recommendations');
const youtube = await search('youtube', 'crm tutorial 2026');
