LABSCO SUMMARY

Entitlement, not installation, is what decides whether a given tool answers you.

The key is one thing and access to each API behind it is another: subscribe exists precisely because a fresh key meets an entitlement error on its first call to an API it was never enrolled in, and it enrols only the free BASIC tier, which never incurs charges. The descriptions also do their own routing, and it is worth following — email_search and website_contacts_scraper point at each other depending on whether you start from a query or a domain, realtime_image_search hands off to reverse_image_search or realtime_lens_data when you start from a picture instead of a word, real_time_news_search defers to realtime_news_data when you want Google News structure rather than a flat article list, and web_unblocker states outright that it is for sites no dedicated tool covers.

What it is

A front end over OpenWeb Ninja's real-time data APIs, exposing 43 tools that each take an operation name and an args object, covering Google search and AI answers, retail catalogues, real estate, jobs and pay, maps and traffic, reviews, news and video, contact discovery, and a general anti-bot fetcher.

What you get

Google's result page as data: realtime_web_search returns organic results, knowledge panels, AI Overviews and AI Mode answers with light and bulk variants, ai_overviews and google_ai_mode fetch those answer blocks on their own, and web_search_autocomplete returns the suggestions for a partial query.
Retail catalogues addressed by their own identifiers: realtime_amazon_data by asin, real_time_walmart_data and realtime_homedepot_data by product_id and category_id, real_time_ebay_data by product_id and seller_id, real_time_wayfair_data by sku, realtime_costco_data by product_id, and realtime_product_search/v2 across Google Shopping.
Property listings by shape as well as address: realtime_zillow_data and real_time_redfin_data both search by location, by a coordinate box and by an arbitrary polygon, and both return property details and market trends.
Hiring data from the angles a recruiter needs: jsearch aggregates Google for Jobs across LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor and other boards, job_salary_data estimates a range for a title and location or for a named company, and realtime_glassdoor_data returns a company's reviews, salaries, interviews and open roles.
Places and movement: local_business_data covers Google Maps search, details, reviews, photos, posts and reverse geocoding, yelp_business_data covers the Yelp side, waze returns alerts, jams and venues inside a bounding box plus directions between coordinates, driving_directions returns turn-by-turn routes, ev_charge_finder finds chargers with connector and availability detail, and local_rank_tracker measures a business's ranking across a coordinate grid built by calculate_grid_coordinates from a centre point, grid_size and radius.
Images searched both ways: realtime_image_search filters Google Images by size, colour and type and returns full image metadata, while reverse_image_search and realtime_lens_data start from an image URL and return visual matches, exact matches, object detection and OCR text.
Contact and reputation lookups: website_contacts_scraper pulls emails, phone numbers and social links from a domain, email_search finds addresses for a query inside an email domain and returns up to 5,000 results, social_links_search resolves a brand to its profile links, and trustpilot_company_and_reviews returns a company's Trustpilot record.
Live text and video feeds: realtime_news_data mirrors Google News topics, sections and full-story coverage, real_time_news_search does a flat keyword search across outlets, realtime_forums_search reads community threads, real_time_video_search covers full-length video and realtime_shorts_search covers short-form, plus realtime_events_data, realtime_books_data, realtime_finance_data and play_store_apps.
Model relays and a fallback fetcher in the same surface: chatgpt, gemini and copilot pass a prompt to those assistants, and web_unblocker retrieves the raw HTML of any URL through the anti-bot proxy network with optional JavaScript rendering.

Requirements

An OpenWeb Ninja API key, supplied as OPENWEBNINJA_API_KEY. Entitlement is per API rather than per key, so a tool whose API the key has never been subscribed to answers with 401, 403 or 429 until subscribe enrols it in that API's free BASIC tier.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — npx -y @openwebninja/mcp-server, then supply credentials

See installation options

USE CASES

Pricing a product across the retailers that stock it

Search each retailer's own catalogue for the item, then open the listing that matters by its native identifier rather than by a scraped URL.

realtime_product_search/v2realtime_amazon_datareal_time_walmart_datarealtime_homedepot_data

Setting a salary band before a role is posted

Read what comparable postings pay, narrow the estimate to the title and location you are hiring for, and check what the named competitor is offering.

jsearchjob_salary_datarealtime_glassdoor_data

Building an outreach list from a domain you already picked

Take the contact details the site itself publishes, widen the search to addresses on that mail domain, and resolve the brand to the profiles it actually posts from.

website_contacts_scraperemail_searchsocial_links_search

Measuring where a storefront ranks around its own block

Locate the business, lay a coordinate grid over the area it draws from, and run the keyword at each point to see where the ranking falls away.

Finding where one of your images ended up

Hand over the image URL, collect visual and exact matches from across the web, and read any text the picture carries before deciding what to do about it.

Reading what a search actually returns before the click

Pull the result page and its answer block for the query, and check which partial queries Google is completing on the way there.
