WebSkrap

Async-first Python scraping on Playwright, with persistent sessions, resource routing, Patchright stealth, web search, a CLI, and an MCP server for agents.

WebSkrap version on PyPI Python 3.11 or newer Playwright 1.49 or newer Apache 2.0 License

Install

pip install webskrap
webskrap install

Quickstart

import asyncio

from webskrap import WebSkrapClient


async def main() -> None:
    async with WebSkrapClient() as client:
        result = await client.fetch("https://example.com")
        print(result.status, result.title)
        print(result.text[:200])


asyncio.run(main())

A search loads the engine's results page in the same stealth browser and returns the organic hits. Click-tracking redirects are unwrapped, so each url is the destination itself. Bing is the default; use engine="ddg" for DuckDuckGo's HTML endpoint. Google is not offered.

async with WebSkrapClient() as client:
    result = await client.search("example domain", max_results=5)
    for hit in result.hits:
        print(hit.title, hit.url)
webskrap search "example domain" --engine ddg --max-results 10 --format json

When an engine distrusts the exit address it serves a bot challenge. That comes back as a blocked error, not as zero hits. Switch engine, reuse a persistent profile, or change the exit IP. WebSkrap does not retry and does not solve CAPTCHAs.

Documentation

Security

Persistent browser sessions keep Chromium's OS sandbox, store their profiles 0700, and confine MCP screenshot output to ./webskrap-output. See SECURITY.md for the security model and how to report a vulnerability, and CHANGELOG.md for what changed.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for setup, checks, and pull request expectations.
