HeadlessX is a self-hosted browser automation and web scraping platform powered by Camoufox (a C++-patched Firefox) to bypass anti-bot systems like Cloudflare, Akamai, and Datadome. It exposes a TypeScript REST/SSE API, a Next.js operator dashboard, a CLI, queued crawl jobs, and a remote MCP endpoint for AI agents, covering website extraction, Google/Tavily/Exa search, and YouTube workflows.

Use cases

  • scrape websites without getting blocked by cloudflare
  • self-hosted browserless scraping api
  • extract js-rendered html and screenshots from pages
  • crawl a site and convert pages to markdown
  • get google search results programmatically
  • extract youtube metadata and subtitles
  • give ai agents browser automation via mcp
  • bypass datadome and akamai anti-bot protection

When to choose

  • you need undetected headless scraping at scale with fingerprint spoofing
  • you want a self-hosted alternative to browserless or Firecrawl-style APIs
  • you need one API for web extraction, SERP data, and YouTube metadata
  • you want to expose browser automation to LLM agents over MCP

When to avoid

  • you only need simple scraping of sites without anti-bot protection
  • you cannot self-host Docker-based infrastructure
  • you need a fully managed cloud service
  • you require a permissive license (AGPL-3.0)
