Flyscrape is a standalone command-line web scraping tool written in Go that lets users write extraction logic in JavaScript with a jQuery-like API. It ships as a single binary with no Node.js or Python dependency and supports headless browser rendering, cookie reuse, proxies, rate limiting, and link following.

Use cases

• scrape product prices from an e-commerce site
• extract data from javascript-heavy websites
• scrape pages behind a login using my browser cookies
• crawl a website following pagination links
• extract html table data to json without writing python
• build a quick scraper without installing node or python

When to choose

• you want a zero-dependency single-binary scraper
• you prefer writing extraction logic in JavaScript with a jQuery/cheerio-style API
• you need headless browser rendering or browser cookie access for protected sites
• you need fine-grained control over rate limits, proxies, retries, and link following

When to avoid

• you need a programmable scraping library embedded in a Go, Python, or Node application
• you need large-scale distributed crawling infrastructure
• you require a GUI or no-code scraping interface
