I Just Opened Up the Beta for InvokeAPI ! Would Love Your Feedback

Hey Fellow Indie Hackers

Over the past year, I’ve spent countless hours trying to build and ship faster. But no matter the project, I kept running into the same roadblocks:

Handling long-running tasks

Extracting data from URLs

Uploading files securely

Waiting on jobs, tracking status, triggering callbacks…

It felt like I was reinventing the same backend logic every time and honestly, it started killing my momentum.

So I built InvokeAPI and today, I’m opening up the beta. It’s still rough around the edges, but I wanted to share it with other builders in case it helps someone like it helped me.

What is InvokeAPI?

InvokeAPI is a lightweight async-first API toolbox designed for:

Indie hackers building fast backends & MVPs
AI agent developers who need jobs to run, report back, and store data
Automation tinkerers using tools like Make, Zapier, or custom pipelines

What CURRENTLY Can You Do With It?

POST /url/parse → pull title, description, images, author, etc.

POST /pdf/merge → combine PDFs and get a hosted file back

POST /job → kick off long tasks and poll for status

GET /job/{id} → check if job’s queued, running, done, or failed

Optional: pass webhook_url to get notified when it’s ready

Why I’m Really Doing This

I’m just trying to build something useful and share it with people who also care about execution, flow, and speed.

AI agents are evolving fast and I believe the infrastructure around them should be just as fast and effortless. If we can offload the boring stuff like pdf processing , web scrapping , file storage, job retries, webhook delivery, metadata parsing… we can focus on building things that matter.I would

InvokeAPI is my small bet on the idea that async infrastructure shouldn’t slow builders down. I’ve shaped it through early feedback, but I’d truly value insights from those building agent backends or automation systems who actually need these tools in the real world.

Who Might Like This?

If you’re:

Building AI agents that run multi-step jobs
Creating automation flows that need async behavior
Working on SaaS tools, workflows, internal tools
Tired of writing job polling, retry logic, or PDF merging scripts

Then you might find InvokeAPI useful.
