EDITOR'S DEEP TAKE

Python-native LLM-friendly crawler. Strong at extracting structured data (JSON schemas) from messy HTML using an embedded LLM. Heavier setup than Firecrawl but more control over extraction prompts. Best for production pipelines that need deterministic schema output.

Use this if

You're in Python, want self-hosted, and need extraction with an exact JSON schema.

Skip if

You don't need LLM-driven extraction — Scrapy or Crawlee will be cheaper and faster.
