Scrapling
The first adaptive, self-healing Python scraping library: it relocates elements after a site redesign and ships stealth fetchers that bypass Cloudflare-level anti-bot.

GPT-4oWhat is Scrapling?
Scrapling solves the two costliest problems in production scraping: getting the response and keeping selectors alive. Its fast lxml-based parser supports CSS/XPath/regex/text queries; when a website changes layout, an adaptive mode (adaptive=True) uses element fingerprints — structure, text patterns, sibling relations — to automatically relocate the same element, so spiders are 'redesign-proof'. Three progressive fetcher tiers cover plain HTTP, full-browser Playwright and a StealthyFetcher (Camoufox-based) that hides CDP/WebRTC leaks and clears Cloudflare Turnstile/Interstitial automatically. It also offers a Scrapy-style spider framework with pause/resume and proxy rotation, sessions and an MCP server for AI extraction (BSD-3).
Pros
- Unique adaptive relocation saves constant selector maintenance.
- Strong out-of-box anti-bot handling.
- Fast parser with a clean progressive-enhancement API.
- Sessions, spiders and proxies included.
- Open source (BSD-3).
Cons
- Stealth/browser tiers are heavier than plain requests.
- Adaptive matching is best-effort on total rewrites.
- Anti-bot arms race means occasional updates are needed.
- Use only on sites and data you are permitted to collect.
