- Standardized the web crawler to use Scrapling exclusively, removing Firecrawl entirely. - Updated the crawler's location to `app/proprietary/web_crawler/connector.py` under a non-Apache-2 license boundary. - Refactored the `WebCrawlerConnector` to eliminate the Firecrawl API key dependency, simplifying the interface for crawling URLs. - Adjusted related components to accommodate the new structure and ensure successful crawl outcomes are properly handled. - Updated documentation to reflect these changes and the new implementation status. |

app.proprietary — non-Apache-2 license boundary
Everything in this directory tree is licensed separately from the rest of
SurfSense (which is Apache-2.0). See LICENSE.
Why this exists
This package holds the product moat:
- the in-house undetectable web crawler (Scrapling tiers + stealth/captcha hardening), and
- (future) platform-specific actors that scrape/extract structured data from individual platforms.
Keeping it in one clearly-named directory makes the license boundary
unambiguous: a single rule — everything under app/proprietary/** is not
Apache-2.0 — instead of per-file headers scattered across the tree.
Layout
web_crawler/— the Scrapling-based crawler engine. Public API:WebCrawlerConnector,CrawlOutcome,CrawlOutcomeStatus(from app.proprietary.web_crawler import ...).platforms/— (future, Phase 8) platform-specific actors; scaffolded/empty.
Rules
- Do not add Apache-2.0-intended code here.
- Apache-2.0 code elsewhere may import from this package (the indexer and the
chat
scrape_webpagetools do); that does not move them under this license. - Depend only on the public API exported from each subpackage's
__init__, not on internal modules, so the boundary stays clean and swappable.
