The problem worth solving
Expose brand and crawl workflows to coding agents while keeping API keys and sources understandable.
An API becomes expensive to adopt if every team has to reconstruct authentication, response handling and field mapping from scratch.
A workflow that teams can actually ship
MediaHarvester exposes localhost API access, TypeScript and Python SDKs, CLI commands, an MCP wrapper, spreadsheet formulas and starter templates for Zapier, Make and n8n. Each surface targets the same contract.
For this pattern the practical entrypoint is `GET /v1/brand/retrieve`, combined with whichever workflow endpoint or presentation layer the product requires.
Workflow map
Scenario in practice
An operations team wants brand enrichment in a CRM while developers want the identical capability inside an agent and a backend job.
Start with one observable workflow, keep source URLs available during review and expand only after the result is reliably useful.
Try the capability
GET /v1/brand/retrieve Local API key:mh-localhost-dev-key
GET /v1/brand/retrieve?domain=web-tasarimci.comImplementation notes
Begin in the playground, move repeated tasks into an SDK or workflow template, and create separate API keys as environments or owners multiply. Keep public Logo Link separate from protected data calls.
When the result affects a customer-facing experience, add an approval or override path rather than treating extraction output as immutable truth.
Signals to monitor
Track successful integrations, requests by key, time from prototype to workflow and how often users fall back to manual data entry.
Metrics turn a promising prototype into a maintainable product capability and make regressions easier to catch.
Try it with MediaHarvester
Open the local playground, choose the feature matching `GET /v1/brand/retrieve` and test with a public or authorized target.
The local project includes API, documentation, SDK, CLI, MCP and no-code surfaces so the same idea can move from exploration into implementation.
FAQ
Questions teams ask before implementing this workflow
What does this developer workflow workflow return?
It uses GET /v1/brand/retrieve and related MediaHarvester surfaces to return structured context together with metadata appropriate to the workflow.
Can I test this locally?
Yes. Run the local service at http://127.0.0.1:8013 and send X-API-Key: mh-localhost-dev-key to protected API routes.
Does it work with private or blocked pages?
The platform is designed for publicly accessible or authorized sources. Verification, login, permission and robots restrictions are reported rather than bypassed.
Can this be automated?
The same API surfaces are available through CLI, Python and TypeScript SDKs, MCP tools and starter no-code integration templates.
How do I keep the result current?
Use cache freshness controls such as maxAgeMs where exposed, and schedule refreshes in a production worker only as frequently as the business case needs.
