fossick

search finds URLs. fetch / to_md read them (plain → heavy → stealthy → session). cdp_connect drives a real Chrome when you need a login or multi-step UI. Dedicated readers cover YouTube, arXiv, and GitHub.

Install

uv add fossick

Text/image/news search need no Docker. JS rendering, stealth fetch, and google() use a bundled headless browser.

Quick start

results = search('koshas github fts semantic code graph', method='flashrank', n=5)
for r in results: print(r['score'], r['engines'], r['title'], r['href'])

Write-Ahead Logging

Table Of Contents

# 1\. Overview

The default method by which SQLite implements atomic commit and rollback is a rollback journal. Beginning with version 3.7.0 (2010-07-21), a new "Write-Ahead Log" option (hereafter referred to as "WAL") is available.

The legality of web scraping varies across the world. In general, web scraping may be against the terms of service of some websites, but the enforceability of these terms is unclear.[11]

research('query', n=5)                    # search → read → cited digest
fetch(url, auto=True)                     # escalate past bot walls
