Skip to main contentWhat is the Manus API?
The Manus API is a RESTful API that allows developers to integrate Manus directly into their applications, workflows, and systems. Instead of using Manus through the web interface or mobile app, you can trigger tasks, manage files, and receive results programmatically.
This enables you to embed Manus’s complete AI agent capabilities—research, analysis, content creation, data processing, and more—into your own products and workflows.
Why Use the Manus API?
Most AI APIs provide narrow capabilities: text generation, image analysis, or specific tasks. The Manus API gives you access to a complete AI agent that can plan, execute multi-step workflows, use tools, browse the web, and deliver results in multiple formats.
Traditional AI APIs: Call an endpoint, get a text response.
Manus API: Send a task, Manus plans the approach, gathers information, uses tools, and delivers complete results (reports, presentations, websites, data analysis, etc.).
This transforms how you can integrate AI into your applications—from simple text generation to autonomous task completion.
