About

Crawl4AI is an open source web crawler and scraper designed for large language models, AI agents, and data pipelines. It generates clean Markdown suitable for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines or direct ingestion into LLMs, performs structured extraction using CSS, XPath, or LLM-based methods, and offers advanced browser control with features like hooks, proxies, stealth modes, and session reuse. The platform emphasizes high performance through parallel crawling and chunk-based extraction, aiming for real-time applications. Crawl4AI is fully open source, providing free access without forced API keys or paywalls, and is highly configurable to meet diverse data extraction needs. Its core philosophies include democratizing data by being free to use, transparent, and configurable, and being LLM-friendly by providing minimally processed, well-structured text, images, and metadata for easy consumption by AI models.

About

Parsel is a BSD-licensed Python library to extract and remove data from HTML and XML using XPath and CSS selectors, optionally combined with regular expressions. Create a selector object for the HTML or XML text that you want to parse. Then use CSS or XPath expressions to select elements. CSS is a language for applying styles to HTML documents. It defines selectors to associate those styles with specific HTML elements. XPath is a language for selecting nodes in XML documents, which can also be used with HTML. You can use either CSS or XPath. CSS is usually more readable, but some things can only be done with XPath. Being built atop lxml, parsel selectors support some EXSLT extensions and come with pre-registered namespaces to use in XPath expressions. Parsel selectors allow you to chain selectors, so most of the time you can just select by class using CSS and then switch to XPath when needed.
