AnakinScraper OSS is a self-hosted web scraping API written in Go that turns any website into LLM-ready markdown or structured JSON via a simple REST endpoint. It combines an anti-detect browser (Camoufox), ML-based smart proxy selection, and a fallback handler chain (HTTP fetch → browser → external API) to scrape sites that block bots.
Use cases
- scrape websites into clean markdown for LLM and RAG pipelines
- extract structured JSON data from web pages with AI
- self-host a Firecrawl alternative with one docker command
- scrape JavaScript-heavy sites that block headless browsers
- crawl pages behind CAPTCHAs and bot detection
- feed live web data into AI agents and chatbots
- monitor website content changes with per-domain scraping configs
- reduce paid scraping API costs with local-first handler fallback
When to choose
- you need a self-hosted scraping API with no cloud dependency and a single Go binary
- your targets use aggressive anti-bot measures requiring an anti-detect browser
- you want LLM-ready markdown or AI-structured JSON output for RAG or agents
- you want to minimize paid scraping API spend by only falling back to external services when local handlers fail
- you need per-domain scraping strategies with failure detection and auto-retry
When to avoid
- you only need simple static HTML fetching without anti-detection
- you want a managed hosted service rather than running your own infrastructure
- AGPL-3.0 licensing is incompatible with your product's distribution model
- you need a pure Python or Node scraping framework with deep programmatic control like Scrapy or Crawlee
