Changelog

Every release, in one place.

  1. v0.9.0April 18, 2026

    Anti-bot tiers: stealth + unlock

    • New stealth: true flag on /v1/scrape — routes through a residential proxy pool for IP reputation. Handles ~90-95% of anti-bot-protected sites. 5× base cost.
    • New unlock: true flag on /v1/scrape — full anti-bot solver bypass for Cloudflare Turnstile, DataDome, PerimeterX, Kasada. ~99% coverage. 15× base cost; failed attempts free.
    • Tier-aware pre-flight balance checks: users pay only for what they actually request, and the server rejects requests upfront when balance is insufficient for the requested tier.
    • Better webhook resilience: LS order processing is now atomic — a transient DB hiccup during balance update no longer leaves purchases stranded.
  2. v0.8.0April 1, 2026

    MCP server, structured extraction

    • Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — drop-in tool server for Claude, GPT, and any MCP client.
    • Structured extraction: pass a JSON schema, get typed data back. Powered by GPT-4-turbo + local fallback.
    • New /v1/search endpoint: query-first web search with Ilmenite-clean results.
    • PDF extraction chain: pdftotext + tesseract fallback for production reliability.
  3. v0.7.0March 15, 2026

    Dual-engine architecture

    • Transparent routing: simple HTTP GETs go through the pure-Rust fast path; JS-heavy pages and persistent sessions go through Chromium — same REST endpoint either way.
    • New /v1/discover endpoint: launches Chrome once on a target URL, captures every XHR/fetch the page makes, and probes each one to report which work without a browser.
    • Benchmark suite under cargo bench for the Rust parser + selector stack.
    • Per-request engine hints: pass engine: "chrome" to force the browser path when you know you need it.
  4. v0.6.0March 2, 2026

    Crawl + session state

    • /v1/crawl API: configurable depth, concurrency, robots.txt support.
    • Session save/restore as JSON — freeze auth state and resume later.
    • Cookie jar, custom headers, per-request proxy override.
    • Wait-for-selector with timeout.
  5. v0.5.0February 12, 2026

    • Python and TypeScript SDKs published.
    • Markdown + JSON + HTML output formats.
