Self-hosted, Rust-native web crawler & scraper for AI agents
</p>
The open-source alternative to Firecrawl. One static binary, ~50 MB RAM idle,
Firecrawl-compatible REST API on both /v1/* and /v2/* (scrape, crawl,
map, search, extract, plus v2 batch & parse) — a drop-in for the official
Firecrawl SDKs — plus first-class MCP. Self-host free under
AGPL-3.0, or hit our managed API at api.fastcrw.com. Reproducible 63.74%
truth-recall on the public 1,000-URL dataset (diagnose_3way.py,
2026-05-08) — see fastcrw.com/benchmarks.
Built in Rust because every millisecond of agent latency compounds.
