Scrapling integrated as OpenClaw's scraping backbone
Scrapling, an open-source scraping library, has been integrated into OpenClaw as its core scraping backbone. This addresses common issues with AI agents struggling with real-world web data, broken scrapers, Cloudflare walls, and selectors that fail when sites update.
Key features and capabilities
Unlike most scraping tools that rely on hardcoded selectors that break when websites redesign, Scrapling learns the structure of a page and adjusts automatically when things change without requiring code rewrites.
- 774x faster than BeautifulSoup with Lxml
- Works across HTTP and full browser automation
- Supports CSS, XPath, text, and regex selectors
- Async sessions for parallel scraping
- Includes a CLI so non-developers can use it without writing code
Getting started
Installation is straightforward:
pip install "scrapling[ai]"The library is fully open source under a BSD-3 license and has been gaining traction on GitHub.
