About CrawlFox

A short, honest read about what we're building, where we are, and how we got here.

What we're building

CrawlFox is the infrastructure layer that lets AI agents and developers turn any URL into clean, model-ready data. One API for scraping a page, scraping many at once, and searching the web — the hard parts of getting a high success rate on protected sites are already handled, so you aren't stitching infrastructure together yourself.

Where we are

CrawlFox is generally available at v1.0.0. The hosted API is live: scrape, SERP, batch jobs, and the customer dashboard are all in customer hands today. Coming next: published SDKs in Python and Node, a formal SLA and uptime commitment, and the open-source roadmap described below.

How we got here

We started CrawlFox in 2026 because every existing scraping API forced a tradeoff we didn't want to accept: pay per page on a black-box vendor, or run your own browser farm and cookie pool and re-learn the same anti-bot lessons that have been solved a thousand times before. We're a small team — no growth-hacking, no launch-week vanity metrics. The infrastructure runs on self-hosted servers behind Cloudflare, not someone else's PaaS auto-scaler, because it lets us spend the time on extraction quality instead of monthly bandwidth bills. We'd rather ship one product that handles the hard cases reliably than ten that mostly work.

Open source

We intend to open-source the gateway and the extraction pipeline once the production contract has settled, and to publish the SDKs alongside them. We haven't set a date or picked a licence yet, and we'd rather say that than name one we might not keep. Today the codebase is private and CrawlFox is available as a hosted API only.
