Use cases

• Extracting structured data from web pages for LLM training datasets
• Crawling websites to build custom knowledge bases
• Integrating web content into AI pipelines via REST API or MCP server

Pros

• Fast performance due to Rust implementation
• Local-first design keeps data private and offline
• Multiple interfaces (CLI, API, MCP) for flexible integration

Cons

• Requires Rust toolchain to build from source
• Limited community and documentation compared to established scraping tools
• Primarily optimized for LLM use cases, not general-purpose web scraping
