Web Agent Bridge (WAB

Web Agent Bridge (WAB) establishes an open standard for giving software agents a structured, secure API to interact with any website. This eliminates reliance on DOM scraping and reduces guesswork, offering reliable web interactions for programmatic entities. Key features include DNS Discovery, where adding a single TXT record makes your site instantly discoverable by web-acting agents. Trust is upheld through ShieldQR, which uses Ed25519-signed wab.json files and SSL fingerprint pinning, allowing agents to verify site authenticity at the protocol level. Setup is streamlined with Zero-Config npx wab-init, which auto-detects your technical stack (including Next.js, Nuxt, and WordPress) and completes configuration in approximately 30 seconds. A Governance Layer ensures human oversight through in-the-loop approvals, adding a crucial control element. WAB offers site owners full control over permissions and rate limiting, providing a standardized command interface, a sovereign browser, a phone shield for cross-device trust, and an agent mesh for private agent networks. It acts as a unified API gateway, simplifying interactions. This platform is ideal for developers and enterprises building robust web agents, ensuring secure and predictable interactions with websites. It's particularly useful for those requiring auditable access logs and comprehensive site owner controls over programmatic access.
