Turn PyAutoGUI Code Into Structured Actions with the Free Parse Endpoint
You have a working PyAutoGUI script that clicks a button, types text, and scrolls. It works locally but you want to reuse that logic in a workflow, pass it through a computer use agent, or integrate it into a multi-step automation pipeline. The free Coasty parse endpoint turns that raw PyAutoGUI sequence into a structured list of actions you can store, version, and reuse.
How it works
The /v1/parse endpoint accepts a JSON body with a source field that contains your PyAutoGUI code snippet. It returns a parsed_actions array where each action is an object with a type (click, type, scroll, etc.), coordinates (x, y), text payload, and any parameters. The structure matches the actions used by sessions and workflows, so you can paste the output directly into a POST /v1/sessions or POST /v1/workflows payload without rewriting anything.
curl -X POST https://coasty.ai/v1/parse \
-H "X-API-Key: $COASTY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"source": "pyautogui.click(400, 300)\npyautogui.write("hello world")\npyautogui.scroll(-5)"
}'
Request and response fields
- ●Request body has a single string field: source. It can contain multiple PyAutoGUI calls on separate lines.
- ●Response is a JSON object with a parsed_actions array. Each action object includes type, x, y, text, and any relevant parameters.
- ●No billing costs. The parse endpoint is free.
- ●You can run this endpoint from any language that can make HTTP POST requests.
POST /v1/parse is free and takes a single source string, returning a parsed_actions array that you can reuse across sessions and workflows.
Where this beats brittle automation
Static selectors or hardcoded element IDs break when UI changes. A computer use agent that sees the screen and acts like a human adapts to layout shifts. By parsing your PyAutoGUI code into structured actions, you preserve the intent while letting the agent handle dynamic positions. You can also combine parsed actions with vision-based steps (POST /v1/predict or POST /v1/sessions/{id}/predict) for a hybrid approach that stays reliable across updates.
