What is IntelliScrape?

IntelliScrape is a Python web scraping library that scrapes 98% of websites out of the box. It uses a 4-tier engine system that automatically escalates from fast HTTP requests to full browser automation — you get the cheapest, fastest method that works, and heavier weapons only when needed.

No more switching between requests, playwright, and selenium. No more debugging why your scraper got blocked. Just scrape(url) and you're done.

Key capabilities:

• 4-tier engine escalation (static → Playwright → Camoufox → nodriver)
• TLS fingerprint impersonation (JA3/JA4 bypass)
• Browser fingerprint randomization
• Human-like behavioral simulation
• CAPTCHA detection, automated solving, and manual solving
• Anti-bot vendor detection (Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, PerimeterX)
• Intelligent site analysis and auto-configuration
• Proxy rotation with free proxy finder
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, SQLite, Text, Markdown
• Async support for concurrent scraping
• Link checking (status verification, categorization, broken link detection)
• Website mirroring (HTTrack-ported, WARC/ZIP export, offline browsing)

Engine System

IntelliScrape uses a 4-tier engine escalation system. It tries the cheapest, fastest method first and escalates only when needed.

Tier 1: Static (curl_cffi)        → Sub-second, TLS impersonation
    ↓ if JS-only content
Tier 2: Playwright Stealth         → 2-5s, headless Chromium + patches
    ↓ if still blocked
Tier 3: Camoufox                   → 3-8s, custom Firefox (C++ patches)
    ↓ if still blocked
Tier 4: nodriver                   → 5-15s, raw CDP, no WebDriver traces

Tier	Engine	Speed	Stealth	Best For
1	static	Sub-second	Low	Static sites, APIs
2	playwright_stealth	2-5s	Medium	JS-heavy sites, basic bot detection
3	camoufox	3-8s	High	Protected sites, fingerprint detection
4	nodriver	5-15s	Maximum	DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai

# Auto-detect (default)
text = scraper.scrape("https://site.com")

# Force specific engine
text = scraper.scrape("https://site.com", engine="playwright_stealth")

# Force browser for known JS-heavy sites
text = scraper.scrape("https://react-app.com", force_browser=True)

---

Intelligent Mode

Enabled by default (intelligent=True). Before scraping, IntelliScrape analyzes the URL to determine:

• Site type — ecommerce, social, news, tech, education, etc.
• Protection level — none, basic, moderate, high, extreme
• Recommended engine — which tier to start with
• Recommended delay — slower for protected sites
• Residential proxy needed — auto-selects proxy type

analysis = scraper.analyze("https://amazon.com")
print(analysis.site_type.value)         # "ecommerce"
print(analysis.protection_level.value)  # "high"
print(analysis.recommended_engine)      # "playwright_stealth"
print(analysis.requires_residential_proxy)  # True

---

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Returns empty or widget text	Use force_browser=True — site is a JS SPA
CAPTCHA blocking	Use manual_captcha=True or api_key + captcha_provider
Blocked by anti-bot	Try engine="camoufox" + residential proxy
