Reviewer Notes

Phantom Buster has an API and free tier, making it accessible, but lacks MCP server support and llms.txt documentation. Account creation requires email verification and manual setup—not programmatically feasible for agents. API documentation exists but could be more comprehensive for agent integration; bot actions return mixed data formats (JSON and HTML), making parsing inconsistent. Rate limits are reasonable but documentation on error codes is sparse.
