Web scraping and search API for AI agents, self-hostable or cloud
Visit fastcrw.com ↗What is fastCRW?
fastCRW is a web data API designed for AI agents to search, scrape, crawl, extract, and monitor web content. It offers both a managed cloud service and a self-hostable Rust binary, with a free tier providing 1000 credits. The project describes itself as an open-source alternative to Firecrawl and Tavily, featuring a unified API accessible via Python, Node, cURL, and MCP integration with AI coding tools like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.
Core capabilities include converting URLs to clean markdown or JSON, full JavaScript rendering, sitemap generation, structured data extraction via prompts or schemas, PDF parsing, and page monitoring with webhooks. The material indicates it achieves 90% accuracy on the AA-Omniscience benchmark and uses approximately 14 MB RAM when idle. Built in Rust, it runs as a lightweight single binary on macOS and Linux.
