Scrapling is an adaptive Web Scraping framework that handles everything from a single request to a full-scale crawl.
Its parser learns from website changes and automatically relocates your elements when pages update. Its fetchers bypass anti-bot systems like Cloudflare Turnstile out of the box. And its spider framework lets you scale up to concurrent, multi-session crawls with pause/resume and automatic proxy rotation - all in a few lines of Python. One library, zero compromises.
Blazing fast crawls with real-time stats and streaming. Built by Web Scrapers for Web Scrapers and regular users, there's something for everyone.
```python
from scrapling.fetchers import Fetcher, AsyncFetcher, StealthyFetcher, DynamicFetcher
StealthyFetcher.adaptive = True
p = StealthyFetcher.fetch('https://example.com', headless=True, network_idle=True) # Fetch website under the radar!
products = p.css('.product', auto_save=True) # Scrape data that survives website design changes!
products = p.css('.product', adaptive=True) # Later, if the website structure changes, pass `adaptive=True` to find them!
```
Or scale up to full crawls
```python
from scrapling.spiders import Spider, Response
class MySpider(Spider):
name = "demo"
start_urls = ["https://example.com/"]
async def parse(self, response: Response):
for item in response.css('.product'):
yield {"title": item.css('h2::text').get()}
MySpider().start()
```

## Key Features
### Spiders - A Full Crawling Framework
- 🕷️ **Scrapy-like Spider API**: Define spiders with `start_urls`, async `parse` callbacks, and `Request`/`Response` objects.
- ⚡ **Concurrent Crawling**: Configurable concurrency limits, per-domain throttling, and download delays.
- 🔄 **Multi-Session Support**: Unified interface for HTTP requests, and stealthy headless browsers in a single spider - route requests to different sessions by ID.
- 💾 **Pause & Resume**: Checkpoint-based crawl persistence. Press Ctrl+C for a graceful shutdown; restart to resume from where you left off.
- 📡 **Streaming Mode**: Stream scraped items as they arrive via `async for item in spider.stream()` with real-time stats - ideal for UI, pipelines, and long-running crawls.
- 🛡️ **Blocked Request Detection**: Automatic detection and retry of blocked requests with customizable logic.
- 🤖 **Robots.txt Compliance**: Optional `robots_txt_obey` flag that respects `Disallow`, `Crawl-delay`, and `Request-rate` directives with per-domain caching.
- 🧪 **Development Mode**: Cache responses to disk on the first run and replay them on subsequent runs - iterate on your `parse()` logic without re-hitting the target servers.
- 📦 **Built-in Export**: Export results through hooks and your own pipeline or the built-in JSON/JSONL with `result.items.to_json()` / `result.items.to_jsonl()` respectively.
### Advanced Websites Fetching with Session Support
- **HTTP Requests**: Fast and stealthy HTTP requests with the `Fetcher` class. Can impersonate browsers' TLS fingerprint, headers, and use HTTP/3.
- **Dynamic Loading**: Fetch dynamic websites with full browser automation through the `DynamicFetcher` class supporting Playwright's Chromium and Google's Chrome.
- **Anti-bot Bypass**: Advanced stealth capabilities with `StealthyFetcher` and fingerprint spoofing. Can easily bypass all types of Cloudflare's Turnstile/Interstitial with automation.
- **Session Management**: Persistent session support with `FetcherSession`, `StealthySession`, and `DynamicSession` classes for cookie and state management across requests.
- **Proxy Rotation**: Built-in `ProxyRotator` with cyclic or custom rotation strategies across all session types, plus per-request proxy overrides.
- **Domain & Ad Blocking**: Block requests to specific domains (and their subdomains) or enable built-in ad blocking (~3,500 known ad/tracker domains) in browser-based fetchers.
- **DNS Leak Prevention**: Optional DNS-over-HTTPS support to route DNS queries through Cloudflare's DoH, preventing DNS leaks when using proxies.
- **Async Support**: Complete async support across all fetchers and dedicated async session classes.
### Adaptive Scraping & AI Integration
- 🔄 **Smart Element Tracking**: Relocate elements after website changes using intelligent similarity algorithms.
- 🎯 **Smart Flexible Selection**: CSS selectors, XPath selectors, filter-based search, text search, regex search, and more.
- 🔍 **Find Similar Elements**: Automatically locate elements similar to found elements.
- 🤖 **MCP Server to be used with AI**: Built-in MCP server for AI-assisted Web Scraping and data extraction. The MCP server features powerful, custom capabilities that leverage Scrapling to extract targeted content before passing it to the AI (Claude/Cursor/etc), thereby speeding up operations and reducing costs by minimizing token usage. ([demo video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyFk3ZNwOxE))
### High-Performance & battle-tested Architecture
- 🚀 **Lightning Fast**: Optimized performance outperforming most Python scraping libraries.
- 🔋 **Memory Efficient**: Optimized data structures and lazy loading for a minimal memory footprint.
- ⚡ **Fast JSON Serialization**: 10x faster than the standard library.
- 🏗️ **Battle tested**: Not only does Scrapling have 92% test coverage and full type hints coverage, but it has been used daily by hundreds of Web Scrapers over the past year.
### Developer/Web Scraper Friendly Experience
- 🎯 **Interactive Web Scraping Shell**: Optional built-in IPython shell with Scrapling integration, shortcuts, and new tools to speed up Web Scraping scripts development, like converting curl requests to Scrapling requests and viewing requests results in your browser.
- 🚀 **Use it directly from the Terminal**: Optionally, you can use Scrapling to scrape a URL without writing a single line of code!
- 🛠️ **Rich Navigation API**: Advanced DOM traversal with parent, sibling, and child navigation methods.
- 🧬 **Enhanced Text Processing**: Built-in regex, cleaning methods, and optimized string operations.
- 📝 **Auto Selector Generation**: Generate robust CSS/XPath selectors for any element.
- 🔌 **Familiar API**: Similar to Scrapy/BeautifulSoup with the same pseudo-elements used in Scrapy/Parsel.
- 📘 **Complete Type Coverage**: Full type hints for excellent IDE support and code completion. The entire codebase is automatically scanned with **PyRight** and **MyPy** with each change.
- 🔋 **Ready Docker image**: With each release, a Docker image containing all browsers is automatically built and pushed.
## Getting Started
Let's give you a quick glimpse of what Scrapling can do without deep diving.
### Basic Usage
HTTP requests with session support
```python
from scrapling.fetchers import Fetcher, FetcherSession
with FetcherSession(impersonate='chrome') as session: # Use latest version of Chrome's TLS fingerprint
page = session.get('https://quotes.toscrape.com/', stealthy_headers=True)
quotes = page.css('.quote .text::text').getall()
# Or use one-off requests
page = Fetcher.get('https://quotes.toscrape.com/')
quotes = page.css('.quote .text::text').getall()
```
Advanced stealth mode
```python
from scrapling.fetchers import StealthyFetcher, StealthySession
with StealthySession(headless=True, solve_cloudflare=True) as session: # Keep the browser open until you finish
page = session.fetch('https://nopecha.com/demo/cloudflare', google_search=False)
data = page.css('#padded_content a').getall()
# Or use one-off request style, it opens the browser for this request, then closes it after finishing
page = StealthyFetcher.fetch('https://nopecha.com/demo/cloudflare')
data = page.css('#padded_content a').getall()
```
Full browser automation
```python
from scrapling.fetchers import DynamicFetcher, DynamicSession
with DynamicSession(headless=True, disable_resources=False, network_idle=True) as session: # Keep the browser open until you finish
page = session.fetch('https://quotes.toscrape.com/', load_dom=False)
data = page.xpath('//span[@class="text"]/text()').getall() # XPath selector if you prefer it
# Or use one-off request style, it opens the browser for this request, then closes it after finishing
page = DynamicFetcher.fetch('https://quotes.toscrape.com/')
data = page.css('.quote .text::text').getall()
```
### Spiders
Build full crawlers with concurrent requests, multiple session types, and pause/resume:
```python
from scrapling.spiders import Spider, Request, Response
class QuotesSpider(Spider):
name = "quotes"
start_urls = ["https://quotes.toscrape.com/"]
concurrent_requests = 10
async def parse(self, response: Response):
for quote in response.css('.quote'):
yield {
"text": quote.css('.text::text').get(),
"author": quote.css('.author::text').get(),
}
next_page = response.css('.next a')
if next_page:
yield response.follow(next_page[0].attrib['href'])
result = QuotesSpider().start()
print(f"Scraped {len(result.items)} quotes")
result.items.to_json("quotes.json")
```
Use multiple session types in a single spider:
```python
from scrapling.spiders import Spider, Request, Response
from scrapling.fetchers import FetcherSession, AsyncStealthySession
class MultiSessionSpider(Spider):
name = "multi"
start_urls = ["https://example.com/"]
def configure_sessions(self, manager):
manager.add("fast", FetcherSession(impersonate="chrome"))
manager.add("stealth", AsyncStealthySession(headless=True), lazy=True)
async def parse(self, response: Response):
for link in response.css('a::attr(href)').getall():
# Route protected pages through the stealth session
if "protected" in link:
yield Request(link, sid="stealth")
else:
yield Request(link, sid="fast", callback=self.parse) # explicit callback
```
Pause and resume long crawls with checkpoints by running the spider like this:
```python
QuotesSpider(crawldir="./crawl_data").start()
```
Press Ctrl+C to pause gracefully - progress is saved automatically. Later, when you start the spider again, pass the same `crawldir`, and it will resume from where it stopped.
### Advanced Parsing & Navigation
```python
from scrapling.fetchers import Fetcher
# Rich element selection and navigation
page = Fetcher.get('https://quotes.toscrape.com/')
# Get quotes with multiple selection methods
quotes = page.css('.quote') # CSS selector
quotes = page.xpath('//div[@class="quote"]') # XPath
quotes = page.find_all('div', {'class': 'quote'}) # BeautifulSoup-style
# Same as
quotes = page.find_all('div', class_='quote')
quotes = page.find_all(['div'], class_='quote')
quotes = page.find_all(class_='quote') # and so on...
# Find element by text content
quotes = page.find_by_text('quote', tag='div')
# Advanced navigation
quote_text = page.css('.quote')[0].css('.text::text').get()
quote_text = page.css('.quote').css('.text::text').getall() # Chained selectors
first_quote = page.css('.quote')[0]
author = first_quote.next_sibling.css('.author::text')
parent_container = first_quote.parent
# Element relationships and similarity
similar_elements = first_quote.find_similar()
below_elements = first_quote.below_elements()
```
You can use the parser right away if you don't want to fetch websites like below:
```python
from scrapling.parser import Selector
page = Selector("<html>...</html>")
```
And it works precisely the same way!
### Async Session Management Examples
```python
import asyncio
from scrapling.fetchers import FetcherSession, AsyncStealthySession, AsyncDynamicSession
async with FetcherSession(http3=True) as session: # `FetcherSession` is context-aware and can work in both sync/async patterns
page1 = session.get('https://quotes.toscrape.com/')
page2 = session.get('https://quotes.toscrape.com/', impersonate='firefox135')
# Async session usage
async with AsyncStealthySession(max_pages=2) as session:
tasks = []
urls = ['https://example.com/page1', 'https://example.com/page2']
for url in urls:
task = session.fetch(url)
tasks.append(task)
print(session.get_pool_stats()) # Optional - The status of the browser tabs pool (busy/free/error)
results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
print(session.get_pool_stats())
```
## CLI & Interactive Shell
Scrapling includes a powerful command-line interface:
[](https://asciinema.org/a/736339)
Launch the interactive Web Scraping shell
```bash
scrapling shell
```
Extract pages to a file directly without programming (Extracts the content inside the `body` tag by default). If the output file ends with `.txt`, then the text content of the target will be extracted. If it ends in `.md`, it will be a Markdown representation of the HTML content; if it ends in `.html`, it will be the HTML content itself.
```bash
scrapling extract get 'https://example.com' content.md
scrapling extract get 'https://example.com' content.txt --css-selector '#fromSkipToProducts' --impersonate 'chrome' # All elements matching the CSS selector '#fromSkipToProducts'
scrapling extract fetch 'https://example.com' content.md --css-selector '#fromSkipToProducts' --no-headless
scrapling extract stealthy-fetch 'https://nopecha.com/demo/cloudflare' captchas.html --css-selector '#padded_content a' --solve-cloudflare
```
> [!NOTE]
> There are many additional features, but we want to keep this page concise, including the MCP server and the interactive Web Scraping Shell. Check out the full documentation [here](https://scrapling.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
