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.
