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