Features

🛡️ Cloudflare? Never heard of it

Pry's 4-tier engine burns through every protection:

1. Direct — rotating UAs, browser-like headers
2. FlareSolverr — Cloudflare bypass on-demand
3. Playwright stealth — full browser with fingerprint spoofing
4. Googlebot fallback — last resort with search engine trust

🤖 Browser automation that persists

Login once. Scrape for hours. Sessions persist via cookies.

# Login, then scrape authenticated pages
steps = [
  {"action": "navigate", "url": "https://site.com/login"},
  {"action": "type", "selector": "#email", "value": "user@x.com"},
  {"action": "click", "selector": "#login-btn"},
  {"action": "screenshot"},
]

🔍 AI-powered extraction

Point at any page. Local Ollama finds the structure automatically.

curl -X POST http://localhost:8005/v1/scrape \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"url":"https://store.com/product","jsonSchema":{"price":"the price","name":"product name"}}'

👀 Watch pages for changes

Free change monitoring. Get Slack/Discord alerts when pages update.

curl -X POST http://localhost:8005/v1/watch \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"url":"https://site.com/page","webhook":"https://hooks.slack.com/..."}'

📋 One-file config

Define everything in pry.yml:

jobs:
  - name: prices
    url: https://store.com/products
    schedule: every 1h
    extract:
      title: "h1"
      price: ".price"
    output: csv
    webhook: slack://C012345

Run it: pry run
