29 to 31 May 2026 · 48 Hours · Online · Open to All Most websites don't have APIs. Wire fixes that. Wire is Anakin's pre-built action layer for hundreds of popular sites. No selectors to write, no auth flows to reverse-engineer, no scrapers to babysit. You pick an action, pass your credentials, and get back clean structured JSON. That's it. Wire handles the login persistence, the anti-bot bypass, the proxy routing, all of it, so you can skip straight to building. This hackathon is built around Wire. What you'll be building with: Wire gives your agent or pipeline a direct line into sites that normally require a browser, a logged-in session, and a lot of prayer. Think pulling structured data from dashboards, marketplaces, social profiles, and paywalled content, all via a single API call. No Playwright. No brittle selectors. No maintenance. The workflow is simple: find the action you need, pass your credentials, get structured data back. Wire handles everything in between. You build everything on top. What's at stake: $250 USD prize pool + exclusive swag Global leaderboard, judged submissions Solo or team, join from anywhere Requirements: macOS or Windows, Node.js, Cursor / Codex / Claude Code, and some comfort in the terminal. If you've ever wanted to build something that actually pulls real data from the real web without spending 80% of your time on scraping infrastructure, this is the weekend for it. The internet is your database. Wire is the query layer. Ship something.
