openkapow

openkapow allows you to quickly create, deploy, share and use web services (called Robots) that mashup anything on the web.

is an open service platform, this means that you can build your own services (called robots) and run them from openkapow.com, all for free. These robots accesses web sites and allows you to use data, functionality and even the user interface of other web sites in a whole new way. No longer are you limited by what public APIs or RSS feeds that are available, instead you can build your own in minutes. You can then use those services from within your own mashups, code, Yahoo! Pipes, Google Gadgets, etc.

A robot in openkapow is a small program that automates what a person can do in a browser. This includes navigating web sites by clicking on links and submitting forms, extracting data from a site and much more. Robots are created in the development environment RoboMaker without any programming and robots are then hosted and run on openkapow’s servers. The behaviour of a robot can be affected by input values (for example the username and password to use to log in to a password protected site) and the robot produces an output (for example the current rate of a specific stock).
