Introducing WebReaper
An AI-native web scraper for .NET that ships as a single binary with a bundled Claude Code skill.
announcement
Web scraping in .NET has always meant gluing together an HTTP client, an HTML parser, a queue, and a storage layer, then babysitting selectors that break the moment a site ships a redesign. WebReaper collapses that into one declarative, parallel pipeline, and adds an AI layer on top.
What makes it different
- Drop on PATH, run. A ~12 MB native binary. No Docker, no Postgres, no signup.
- AI-native by composition. Markdown by default; add schema extraction, an
LLM fallback, self-healing selectors, or an autonomous agent with one
.With…call. - Bring any LLM. OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, Azure OpenAI, llamafile, via
Microsoft.Extensions.AI. - MIT, not AGPL. Embed it in commercial software without license friction.
