 All notable changes to webclaw are documented here.
 Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/).
 
+## [0.6.7] — 2026-06-09
+
+### Changed
+- Updated the HTTP/TLS engine (wreq 6.0.0-rc.29, wreq-util 3.0.0-rc.12). This pulls in upstream robustness fixes: no more panic on responses with non-UTF8 header values, a fix for short reads when decoding large compressed bodies, and the TCP nodelay setting is restored. Browser TLS fingerprints are unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## [0.6.6] — 2026-06-09
+
+### Added
+- Slow fetches now print a progress line to stderr every 10 seconds (`# webclaw: still fetching <url> (Ns)`) so a long request no longer looks like the CLI hung. Fast fetches stay silent and stdout is untouched.
+- New `--url-encoded` flag plus a warning when a URL looks like the shell split it on `&` or `?`. The warning suggests quoting the URL; pass `--url-encoded` to silence it when the URL is intentional.
+
+---
+
+## [0.6.5] — 2026-06-04
+
+### Changed
+- Reddit threads extract reliably again. The old anonymous JSON endpoint is no longer available, so webclaw now reads old.reddit.com directly without an API key or JavaScript. You get the post plus the full nested comment tree, with authors, scores, timestamps, and reply nesting preserved. Comment text keeps its links and code blocks, hidden scores are reported as unknown rather than zero, and deleted comments stay in place so their replies aren't lost.
+
+---
+
+## [0.6.4] — 2026-05-19
+
+### Added
+- API surface discovery: a new module extracts the API endpoints embedded in a page's inline scripts and linked JavaScript bundles. It surfaces relative REST paths, absolute URLs, GraphQL operations, and WebSocket endpoints that a sitemap alone cannot reveal. A built-in noise filter drops schema.org and json-schema.org references, bare framework paths, and other non-API matches so the result stays focused on the real surface.
+
+---
+
+## [0.6.3] — 2026-05-19
+
+### Fixed
+- Hardened resource and path-safety limits across the CLI, MCP server, and self-hosted API: oversized or highly compressed responses are capped while streaming, deeply nested page data can no longer exhaust memory, output filenames stay inside the chosen directory, webhook URLs are validated like every other fetch, and multibyte search queries no longer crash slug generation.
+
+---
+
+## [0.6.2] — 2026-05-18
+
+### Fixed
+- Cleaned up `--format llm` output on noisy news and documentation pages. Comment-count links, bare page-number paragraphs, pagination leftovers such as `0 Next`, and duplicated JSON-LD article bodies are now removed before they reach the LLM context.
+- The CLI now recognizes common cookie-consent redirects and prints a clearer warning when a page returns a consent wall instead of usable content.
+- The CLI keeps noisy parser warnings from real-world malformed HTML out of stderr by default. `WEBCLAW_LOG` still lets advanced users opt into deeper parser logs.
+
+Thanks to Nenad Oric (`@devnen`) for the report and patch work in PR #43.
+
+---
+
+## [0.6.1] — 2026-05-12
+
+### Fixed
+- Hardened URL safety across the CLI, MCP server, and self-hosted API paths so local and private network targets are rejected more consistently, including after DNS resolution and redirects.
+- Added a timeout around inline JavaScript data extraction so hostile pages cannot keep the extractor busy forever.
+- Tightened Amazon and eBay URL recognition so deceptive hosts are rejected while common international marketplaces still work.
+- Avoided unnecessary decoding work on large responses during bot-challenge detection.
+- Reduced release workflow token permissions so build jobs run with narrower GitHub access.
+
+---
+
+## [0.6.0] — 2026-05-10
+
+### Fixed
+- Improved `--format llm` output quality on modern news and documentation pages. Framework hydration blobs and low-value page chrome structured-data records are now filtered out before they can flood the LLM context, while content-bearing Schema.org records are preserved. Thanks and congrats to Nenad Oric (`@devnen`) for the contribution in PR #37.
+- Fixed element-to-text spacing so adjacent inline nodes no longer smash words together, while punctuation stays attached on real pages such as docs, forums, and reference sites.
+- Removed common screen-reader-only link chrome such as "opens new tab" from LLM body text and link labels without stripping ordinary prose that happens to mention external links.
+
+---
+
+## [0.5.9] — 2026-05-06
+
+### Fixed
+- LLM providers now support `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` for Anthropic-compatible proxies, plus an `OPENAI_RESPONSE_FORMAT_TYPE` override for OpenAI-compatible backends such as LM Studio. Thanks to Toti (`@Toti330`) for the report.
+
+---
+
+## [0.5.8] — 2026-05-04
+
+### Added
+- GitHub Releases now include a Windows x86_64 `.zip` with `webclaw.exe`, `webclaw-mcp.exe`, and `webclaw-server.exe`. Thanks to Suryansh Mishra (`@notrealsuryansh`) for the contribution.
+
+### Fixed
+- Improved brand extraction results for modern sites with large app shells. Brand colors, fonts, and logos are now less likely to be polluted by login widgets, customer-logo grids, icon fonts, or generated CSS noise.
+
+### Docs
+- Refreshed the README badges with a cleaner shieldcn style. Thanks to Justin Levine (`@jal-co`) for the contribution, and shout-out to his open-source [shieldcn](https://github.com/jal-co/shieldcn) project.
+
+---
+
 ## [0.5.7] — 2026-04-30
 
+### Security
+- Hardened server-side URL fetching against SSRF by rejecting private/internal IP ranges and unsafe redirect targets across CLI, MCP, and the self-hosted REST server. Thanks to KairoKid / dodge1218 (vonbrubeck@gmail.com) for the responsible report.
+
 ### Docs
 - README header now uses an `<h1>webclaw</h1>` instead of an `<h3>` slogan. The repo had no heading-level brand anchor before, only a banner image, so search engines indexing the README were missing the canonical brand signal. The new heading is what GitHub renders as the title of the page and what Google co-ranks with webclaw.io.

-TLS fingerprinting lives in a separate repo: [webclaw-tls](https://github.com/0xMassi/webclaw-tls). The `[patch.crates-io]` section in `Cargo.toml` overrides rustls, h2, hyper, hyper-util, and reqwest with our patched forks for browser-grade JA4 + HTTP/2 Akamai fingerprinting.
+TLS fingerprinting is handled in-process by [wreq](https://crates.io/crates/wreq) (BoringSSL), so `webclaw-fetch` impersonates real browser TLS directly. There are no `[patch.crates-io]` forks or external TLS dependencies.

+Most web scraping tools give your agent one of two bad outputs:
 
----
+- a blocked page, login wall, or empty app shell
+- raw HTML full of nav, scripts, styling, ads, and duplicated boilerplate
 
-Your AI agent calls `fetch()` and gets a 403. Or 142KB of raw HTML that burns through your token budget. **webclaw fixes both.**
+[webclaw.io](https://webclaw.io) is the hosted web extraction API for webclaw. This repo contains the open-source CLI, MCP server, extraction engine, and self-hostable server.
 
-It extracts clean, structured content from any URL using Chrome-level TLS fingerprinting — no headless browser, no Selenium, no Puppeteer. Output is optimized for LLMs: **67% fewer tokens** than raw HTML, with metadata, links, and images preserved.
+webclaw turns a URL into clean content your tools can actually use.

+# Example Domain
 
-## Two ways to use webclaw
+This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents.
 
-**Self-host.** Free, AGPL-3.0, runs locally. Get the CLI, MCP server, or REST API in one command. Ships with the 8 core extraction tools: scrape, crawl, map, batch, extract, summarize, diff, brand.
+You may use this domain in literature without prior coordination or asking for permission.
+```
 
-**Hosted API** at **[webclaw.io](https://webclaw.io)**. 500 pages/month free, no card. Adds what self-hosting can't do alone: antibot bypass (Cloudflare, DataDome, WAF), JS rendering, async crawl/research jobs, web search, watches. For when you want it to *just work*.
+Use it from the terminal, wire it into Claude/Cursor through MCP, call the hosted API from your app, or self-host the OSS server.

+## Output Formats
+
+| Format | Use it when you need |
+| --- | --- |
+| `markdown` | Clean page content with structure preserved |
+| `llm` | Compact context for agents and RAG pipelines |
+| `text` | Plain text with minimal formatting |
+| `json` | Structured metadata, links, images, and extracted fields |
+| `html` | Cleaned HTML for custom processing |
+
+---
+
+## Local First, Hosted When Needed
+
+The CLI and MCP server work locally without an account for the core extraction path.
+
+Use the hosted API at [webclaw.io](https://webclaw.io) when you need:
+
+- protected-site access without managing infrastructure
+- JavaScript rendering
+- async crawl and research jobs
+- web search
+- watches and production usage tracking
+- SDKs for application code
+
+```bash
+export WEBCLAW_API_KEY=wc_your_key
+
+webclaw https://example.com --cloud
+```
+
+---
+
+## What You Can Build
+
+| Use case | Example |
+| --- | --- |
+| AI agent web access | Give Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client clean page context |
+| RAG ingestion | Crawl docs, help centers, blogs, and knowledge bases |
+| Competitor monitoring | Track pricing pages, changelogs, docs, and product pages |
+| Structured extraction | Turn messy pages into typed JSON for automations |
+| Research workflows | Search, scrape, summarize, and cite multiple sources |
+| Brand intelligence | Extract logos, colors, fonts, and social metadata |
+
 ## Architecture
 
-```
+```text
 webclaw/
   crates/
-    webclaw-core     Pure extraction engine. Zero network deps. WASM-safe.
-    webclaw-fetch    HTTP client + TLS fingerprinting (wreq/BoringSSL). Crawler. Batch ops.
-    webclaw-llm      LLM provider chain (Ollama -> OpenAI -> Anthropic)
+    webclaw-core     HTML to markdown, text, JSON, and LLM-ready output
+    webclaw-fetch    Fetching, crawling, batching, and mapping
+    webclaw-llm      Local and hosted LLM provider support
     webclaw-pdf      PDF text extraction
-    webclaw-mcp      MCP server (10 tools for AI agents)
-    webclaw-cli      CLI binary
+    webclaw-mcp      MCP server for AI agents
+    webclaw-cli      Command-line interface
 ```
 
-`webclaw-core` takes raw HTML as a `&str` and returns structured output. No I/O, no network, no allocator tricks. Can compile to WASM.
+`webclaw-core` is pure extraction logic: no network I/O, small surface area, and usable independently from the fetching layer.

 ## Configuration
 
 | Variable | Description |
-|----------|-------------|
-| `WEBCLAW_API_KEY` | Cloud API key (enables bot bypass, JS rendering, search, research) |
-| `OLLAMA_HOST` | Ollama URL for local LLM features (default: `http://localhost:11434`) |
-| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | OpenAI API key for LLM features |
-| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | Anthropic API key for LLM features |
+| --- | --- |
+| `WEBCLAW_API_KEY` | Hosted API key |
+| `OLLAMA_HOST` | Ollama URL for local LLM features |
+| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | OpenAI-compatible LLM provider key |
+| `OPENAI_BASE_URL` | OpenAI-compatible base URL |
+| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | Anthropic-compatible LLM provider key |
+| `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` | Anthropic-compatible base URL |
 | `WEBCLAW_PROXY` | Single proxy URL |
-| `WEBCLAW_PROXY_FILE` | Path to proxy pool file |
+| `WEBCLAW_PROXY_FILE` | Proxy pool file |
 
 ---
 
-## Cloud API (optional)
-
-For bot-protected sites, JS rendering, and advanced features, webclaw offers a hosted API at [webclaw.io](https://webclaw.io).
-
-The CLI and MCP server work locally first. Cloud is used as a fallback when:
-- A site has bot protection (Cloudflare, DataDome, WAF)
-- A page requires JavaScript rendering
-- You use search or research tools
-
-```bash
-export WEBCLAW_API_KEY=wc_your_key
-
-# Automatic: tries local first, cloud on bot detection
-webclaw https://protected-site.com
-
-# Force cloud
-webclaw --cloud https://spa-site.com
-```
-
-### SDKs
-
-```bash
-npm install @webclaw/sdk                  # TypeScript/JavaScript
-pip install webclaw                        # Python
-go get github.com/0xMassi/webclaw-go      # Go
-```
-

I was friends with a married couple who lived in a $1M home in 2009 and stopped paying the mortgage when one of them got laid off, because the bank no longer had enough original documentation on hand to prove who actually owned the house. Their lawyer was able to drag the process out for a good 5 years IIRC, before their situation improved and then they just moved into a nice apartment. I don&#39;t believe their credit was even affected in the end and I seem to recall this being a tactic that quite a number of people were able to employ to avoid eviction.

There are already plenty of people in the USA living in levels of poverty that most Americans can&#39;t really comprehend. That family at least had a house, I guess. So I imagine we will see a lot more of that.</p>

We&#39;re a tribal species after all, and the majority have ingrained desires to help each other and work together.</p>
+
+<p>However, in nearly every single situation where the populace gets hit by some event that makes it nearly difficult or impossible to get feed themselves, house themselves, or fight off a plague they have either taken the choice to move else where (become refugees) or over throw their leaders and start over (so rebellion).</p>
+
+<p>But that bar for &quot;nearly difficult&quot; is pretty high and the choice between becoming a refugee and a rebel is really based on realistic it is to perform each action. In societies where movement is controlled or restricted, they tend to revolt. In societies where the ruling state has a perceived insurmountable power, they flee. And it basically has to get tot he point where the average person&#39;s other choice is &quot;whelp, guess I&#39;ll just die then.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Right now food is there and there are some options for those most in need. We&#39;re not at the stage where the choices are between fighting, fleeing, or dying. We&#39;re at the stage where we tighten our belts, cut expenses, and still have hope someone is going to turn it around. We&#39;re hardly at the famine stage here. We&#39;re not even at the &quot;hungry&quot; stage nation wide. Food is plentiful, if expensive. And if people have to choose between food, medicine, housing, and luxuries, we can still drop the luxuries entirely and possibly still cut back on something else too.</p>
+
+<p>And our leaders and wealthy know this (sort of). It&#39;s why they campaigned on food prices and the economy. Eventually they will be forced to take action and do something about it. But that time isn&#39;t now. It won&#39;t be until people are down to choosing between food and shelter (forget about medicine and luxuries).</p>
+
+<p>There&#39;s a reason why the phrase &quot;bread and circuses&quot; was invented: give the people just enough to eat and enough entertainment to be distracted and they won&#39;t revolt. That&#39;s too risky to attempt when you still have options. And we right now have TV and cheap entertainment. Practically every single person carries a phone that can play the entire collection of Earth&#39;s Entertainment if you look for it.</p>
+
+<p>But once we get to that final stage where we <em>don&#39;t</em> have options other than to fight or flee, well we&#39;ll see which direction most people take. Looking at the US past, we&#39;ve had migrations numerous times and several wars and revolutions (even if some were short lived) and armed conflict is not a stranger to these lands.</p>

People keep saying that like I would know where to put the barricades, what I&#39;m barricading, and what my end goal is. </p>
+
+<p>This country runs on where the money goes. Short of staging a robbery of billionaires - how do we interrupt the flow of money?</p>
+
+<p>The quiet Revolution is maybe just not buying into all the corporate shit and making the world a better place, all at the same time. What if the whole country just stopped buying fragrance products? Like, no more Downy Unstoppables, no more car clip air fresheners, no more perfume or body spray. What would happen? Shit, we stopped paying for Disney for what? a week? and look what happened. </p>
+
+<p>What if we all stopped paying for streaming services and, I don&#39;t know, watched movies from the library for entertainment instead? Or we could get REALLY crazy and read books instead? </p>
+
+<p>What if we all decided &quot;This is where pain point number 1 hits?&quot;  And when you&#39;re still hurting, activate pain point #2. </p>
+
+<p>We are so spread out in America that the traditional picture of revolution is hard to recreate. We aren&#39;t really interested in going hungry or homeless, especially when it feels like we would be the only ones not going to work, so the general strike idea is a tough one to implement effectively. </p>
+
+<p>Corporations are widespread and easy for everyone to access/deny. </p>

Instead, you should do no more than set a flag and rely on the normal non-interrupt code to check it and call the appropriate big and complicated function.</p>
+
+<p>The usual example was that anything requiring<code>malloc</code> or<code>free</code> was too big and complicated.  Running an eBPF program certainly seems big and complicated enough.  But I guess kernel programmers are made of sterner stuff and they just have to provide for this?  I have a feeling that the eBPF hooks for performance events wouldn&#39;t be practical if they used the traditional approach.</p>

+<ul>
+<li><em>have</em> to specify all the types, </li>
+<li>but lack the power of generics and interfaces that have become common in this millennium,</li>
+<li>and where the types may not even be trustworthy, as with C&#39;s implicit conversions (&quot;promotions&quot;), or plenty of languages that have implicit nulls resulting in NPEs and segfaults.</li>

+<p>The gradual type systems we see added to various dynamic languages don&#39;t seem to have those same flaws. (Plenty of the older languages have been working on those flaws as well.)</p>

Distributed systems build for live code reloading while messages are in flight need to have at least some capacity for dynamic types. You can’t have nodes declaring different types at once for the same message. Dynamic types allow you to roll forward in a running system, it’s a very strong solution to that problem, and has proven robust for 40 years. Conversely trying to do this with static types would suck.</p>

Most dynamically typed languages have pretty limited inference and require static type annotations to do useful things, and there’s a disconnect between the static types and the runtime behaviour (except in Python with Pydantic I guess).</p>

+
+<p>Elixir (like Erlang) uses arity of arguments + a guard clause with predicate functions to determine which version of a function to run. Which is technically not overloading like Java, C# or C++ do but is probably more flexible/useful (and more like Haskell pattern matching on function signature).</p>

Dynamic typing generally wants the programmer to be able to express valid programs that would either be inexpressible or require inordinate amounts of efforts to type in static languages.</p>
+
+<p>If you&#39;ve ever seen someone complain about complex generics, those are the cases where a dynamic type system would let you just write the behaviour and move on without needing a PhD in type theory.</p>
+
+<p>In practice plenty of people will just punch a hole in their type system with <code>Any</code> (AKA <code>void*</code>, <code>Object</code>, <code>interface{}</code>) when they come across a situation like that, which practically is static type systems moving towards the same middle ground, just from the opposite starting point.</p>
+
+<p>I prefer static typing myself, but it should be plenty clear to anyone that it ain&#39;t all sunshine and rainbows all the time either.</p>

+
+<p>That&#39;s the neat thing, you don&#39;t. Programmers who are used to untyped languages just don&#39;t reason around things the same way someone used to e.g. Rust or Haskell do. Shit, just talking about ADTs/&quot;enums&quot; and tuples to gophers is enough to make a lot of them confused, because they&#39;re not a part of the type system that they&#39;re used to.</p>
+
+<p>Instead they&#39;ll write tests and maybe some assertions. I suspect that in the extreme cases, that&#39;s actually the path of least resistance, as opposed to practically formally proving the behaviour through the type system.</p>
+
+<p>Programmers don&#39;t all think alike, just like how some have a more imperative mind and some a more expression-oriented mind.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p>Although, guess depends on the language. While the Rusts type system is not perfect, its expressive enough for me to be able to cram my logic into types 95% of the time</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>I also generally like Rust&#39;s type system, but that is on the more powerful side of the mainstream spectrum, and having lifetimes be part of the type system means you can describe some behaviour, like typestate, that&#39;s more likely to have wonky behaviour in GC languages.</p>

+<p>And I think most of us would still reach for some escape hatch before we wound up actually writing a signature like <a href="https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/blob/5fd1c3588a45adfba0d8c59ff847487b28e6968b/nexus/db-queries/src/db/pagination.rs#L78-L181" rel="nofollow">this one</a> (<a href="/r/rust/comments/1kl3uhj/most_complex_type_signature/mrzigri/" rel="nofollow">via</a>).</p>

It also makes programs easier to understand when you can see exactly what shape objects have, rather than having to rely on running programs and checking the object&#39;s types at runtime (e.g. responses from external REST APIs).</p>

An Erlang program can change at any time because the runtime supports hot code reloading, so how do you express that in a static type system at compile time? The easy answer is you don&#39;t, you just live with dynamic typing. The hard answer is that you start a multi-year research project to get gradual typing added after the fact.</p>
+
+<p>To be fair, static typing in Erlang and Elixir is not actually as needed as in Python or JavaScript because you have pattern-matching built-in at the language level. You can see at a glance what shape your data needs to be in. Of course having that enforced by the compiler is better, but it is what it is.</p>

Voila, the dynamically typed language starts moving toward static typing.</p>

+<p>The examples in the blog post clearly demonstrates that, you can&#39;t divide string by a number. Even if a dynamic language can do that, it would be a bug in most of the cases.</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>It can also be the correct, intended behaviour, see e.g. this Perl program:</p>
+
+<pre><code>print &quot;divisor: &quot;;
+chomp( my $divisor = &lt;&gt; );
+
+print &quot;dividend: &quot;;
+chomp( my $dividend = &lt;&gt; );
+
+say &quot;result: &quot; . $divisor / $dividend;
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Perl has conversion rules for <code>string -&gt; number</code>, which is something along the lines of &quot;parse the string until you encounter a non-numeric character; 0 if the string starts with a non-numeric character&quot;. Its operators are also explicitly for either numbers (like <code>/</code>, <code>+</code>, <code>==</code>) or strings (like <code>.</code>, <code>eq</code>).</p>
+
+<p>I&#39;m not really sure about it being a bug in <em>most</em> cases either, the problem with implicit conversions is more that they&#39;re a PITA to locate and correct when they <em>are</em> bugs.</p>
+
+<p>Like when PHP, using a similar conversion rule, wound up comparing some SHAs as if they were numbers with some garbage string at the end, e.g. <code>&quot;0efoo…&quot; == &quot;0ebar…&quot;</code> because <code>0 == 0</code>, and it doesn&#39;t have the <code>==</code>/<code>eq</code> split that Perl does to give the programmer control over what sort of comparison will be done.</p>
+
+<p>And in cases like JS, if we get a <code>NaN</code> after division, we might have a <code>0/0</code> or we might have <code>&quot;hello&quot;/&quot;world&quot;</code>, so it&#39;s a really weak error signal compared to what we get out of typechecking.</p>

+
+<p>A lot of everyday programming work involves tabular data - CSV files, reports, logs, exports, billing data, sales data, inventory data, operational spreadsheets, analytics extracts, etc.</p>
+
+<p>You can process that kind of data with loops and dictionaries, SQL, shell tools, or spreadsheets. But Pandas gives Python a very compact and expressive way to do filtering, grouping, aggregation, joins, and reshaping in code.</p>
+
+<p>The article uses a small sales/purchases CSV example and compares the Pandas approach with plain Python and spreadsheet-style thinking.</p>
+
+<p>I’m curious how other programmers think about this: is Pandas one of the libraries that makes Python worth learning, even for people whose main work is not data science? Or would you usually reach for SQL, spreadsheets, shell tools, or something else?</p>

I use Python extensively, and I mostly like it, but whenever I need to do data analysis I bend over backwards to avoid Pandas. Mostly this means using R instead. Pandas is nowhere near the state of the art of data analytics. Even Python has better libraries (namely, Polars). Pandas is atrociously slow and has a terrible API. — And to head off potential responses: I <em>have</em> used Pandas extensively, and I am absolutely qualified to judge its merits compared to other solutions.</p>

+
+<p>However when taking a more holistic view (i.e. setting up a dev environment in the first place, data extraction and cleaning, actually getting data in and out of the system, data exploration, writing core analyses and debugging those, publishing, ...) this isn&#39;t really true in my opinion. In my experience you end up wasting so much time dealing with all those pain points and idiosyncrasies around R that it&#39;s altogether faster to use Python and just implement the things that don&#39;t already exist yourself (although this is of course not viable for everyone) or interop with other languages for those parts.</p>
+
+<p>And in particular when you don&#39;t do anything overly niche (as is really the case for what OP is talking about here) the python ecosystem is perfectly workable, and in some fields even miles ahead of R. For example for me a lot of data analysis involves optimization and some geometry processing / a bunch of maths. And for those python really has the strictly better ecosystem and larger community.</p>

I agree that setting up a reproducible dev environment in R is frustrating. And “getting data in and out” of the system <em>can</em> be more convoluted than in Python, depending on the type of the data and storage and/or ingress/egress mechanism (e.g. JSON data, or data hosted on S3: botocore/s3fs is vastly better than anything R has to offer). But, honestly, in most cases it’s seamless.</p>
+
+<p>I disagree with the rest: data extraction, cleaning, exploration, core analysis and publishing are all things that R <em>excels</em> at. Troubleshooting is occasionally made harder due to the lack of any type safety, but type annotations are also much less helpful for data analysis than for most other software engineering applications. And interactive debugging (and, importantly, interactive <em>exploration</em> of data) works very well.</p>
+
+<p>And modern R IDE integration (be it via dedicated IDEs such as Positron or RStudio, or via plugins such as Nvim-R or ESS) provides best-in-class interactive data exploration REPLs, and these integrate very well with report generation via Quarto, which in many regards is also strictly superior to Jupyter (but if you prefer the latter, there is an R kernel for it).</p>

I’m an IT project manager who enjoys programming for fun and for automating my  workflows. I use Python and Bash almost exclusively.</p>
+
+<p>Over the past year, I’ve started to feel that improving my Python skills doesn’t make much sense for me anymore, because I can simply ask AI to do it and, after some time and debugging, I usually get the result I wanted. That’s great for the efficiency of my work, but it doesn’t really satisfy the joy of solving problems myself.</p>
+
+<p>And that brings me to the reason why I started learning Rust: for fun and for problem-solving. I’m currently going through &quot;The Rust Book&quot; and, at the same time, working on Advent of Code 2025 so I can learn Rust in practice.</p>
+
+<p>My question is: do you have any recommendations on what to focus on, what to avoid for now, and how to approach learning Rust? Sure, I know the usual advice: build a CLI tool, make something I actually use and understand, and so on. But I’m more interested in the kind of advice that only clicked for you after hundreds of hours of using Rust.</p>

There&#39;s no better motivator than needing the software to do something for you, to solve a problem for you. Find a problem that you currently have that needs fixing, create a CLI tool around it.</p>
+
+<p>I spent a lot of time initially learning Rust by working on code for little toy projects and definitely learned a lot in that process. But the real lessons didn&#39;t come until I tackled something that was providing me a lot of value. Obviously, not everyone has a project idea up their sleeve that they know will provide them with some value. So start with something dead simple.</p>
+
+<p>Rust is a considerably more demanding language than Python. There are many layers to it. Don&#39;t feel overwhelmed when you get to sections of the Rust book that talk about more advanced concepts. Sometimes you&#39;ll read about something and feel like &quot;do I need to use this?&quot; and oftentimes the answer is no, at least not yet. There are some features of Rust you may not even touch for a long time until you decide to do something much more complex (like concurrency, or lifetimes)</p>

I’ll probably still build most things in Python with help from AI, because it’s more efficient. But I’ll find “something” that I can write in Rust.</p>

+<p>Rust forces you to think differently, it puts the data in the center and everything gravitates around it (data can have only one owner, you need to move it around etc ...). This may seem &quot;simple&quot; to explain but it has profound implications and very often ends up simplifying a complex problem (do try not to reach for Arc/Rc/RefCell/Mutex).</p>

+
+<p>But as I said in the post, I feel like there is no longer much need for me to learn more Python or Bash, because the things I do with them are already handled pretty well by my AI setup. I’m even running OpenClaw on my home server with OpenAI and a few local models, and I use my agents every day.</p>
+
+<p>But it doesn’t give me the same fun from programming that I had a few years ago. To me, it feels like an AI black box. Yes, I configure it, and now it works for my niches, but mostly I just ask AI how to configure AI, run some experiments, and voilà.</p>
+
+<p>I wrote this in another comment: I like having those moments of “it works.” and then “Why does it work?” And because I’ve never worked with a low-level control language before, Rust is my choice.</p>

+
+<p>But there are Situations where you want to know exactly what is going on and where you just want to understand every single bit of what is happening so you can tweak it if desired. AI doesn’t take that away from you. It enables you to get rid of all the boilerplate that can eat you alive and to focus on the important parts of your project. AI has a very negative connotation between Software Developers because it is forced upon them by their empoyers and it drastically changes how you work: often Developers don’t create anymore but just doing code reviews of ai generated code which can be very frustrating. It’s this sense of not being in control of anything, that truly sucks. But objectively it doesn’t take anything away from the programmer, it just adds more possibilities. No one forces you to fight with bash commands. You still can do it, but you don’t need to. I think AI is empowering and I find it hillarious for being downvoted for this opinion. We live in the best times when it comes to programming. We have the best tools today that ever existed</p>

AI is super strong and helpful, as I already said. But I think you are missing my point of view about why Rust.</p>
+
+<p>I am not a developer; I just like to create things for my niches. Most of the time, it is faster with AI, and as you said, it almost does not matter how it works. But for me, learning Rust is just for the joy of learning. I do not need to ask AI what an error means, what the best way to do something is, or why, at least for now.</p>
+
+<p>For example, in my OpenClaw setup folder, I have a “Rust learning” folder and a few prompts that forbid my agent from giving me direct solutions. It can only give me hints based on my current level and progress through The Rust Book and code that I wrote. Even though I have this setup, I still prefer reading the docs on my own because I like doing it this way, and nothing pushes me to be faster or more efficient.</p>

+<p>I think Linus Torvalds said that now is a great time to be a developer because AI is so helpful. Having the knowledge of how to work with AI and how to write code is a huge benefit for many good developers. But the message “AI will take your job” is real. Companies are willing to pay cloud AI providers millions and push their employees to use AI no matter what, which does not help the situation.</p>

 Practical examples showing what webclaw can do. Each example is a self-contained command you can run immediately.
 
+## Workflow Guides
+
+- [HTML to Markdown for RAG](./html-to-markdown-rag/) turns web pages into markdown or compact LLM text for retrieval pipelines.
+- [Firecrawl-Compatible API](./firecrawl-compatible-api/) shows the `/v2` compatibility routes for scrape, crawl, map, and search.
+- [MCP Web Scraping](./mcp-web-scraping/) connects webclaw to MCP clients such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Codex CLI.
+- [Proxy-Backed Crawling](./proxy-backed-crawling/) shows single-proxy and proxy-pool crawling from the CLI.
+- [Cloudflare Diagnostics](./cloudflare-diagnostics/) gives a reproducible checklist for blocked or empty protected-site results.

+# Cloudflare Diagnostics
+
+Use this checklist when a page works in the browser but fails from a scraper, returns a challenge page, or produces empty extracted content.
+
+## 1. Save the Raw Response
+
+```bash
+webclaw https://protected.example.com --raw-html > raw.html
+```
+
+Inspect `raw.html` for challenge copy, blocked request text, empty shells, or application HTML that needs JavaScript rendering.
+
+## 2. Compare Extracted Formats
+
+```bash
+webclaw https://protected.example.com --format markdown > page.md
+webclaw https://protected.example.com --format json > page.json
+webclaw https://protected.example.com --format llm > page.txt
+```
+
+If raw HTML has content but markdown is empty, tune extraction with selectors:
+
+```bash
+webclaw https://protected.example.com \
+  --include "main, article, [role=main]" \
+  --exclude "nav, footer, aside, .cookie-banner" \
+  --format markdown
+```
+
+## 3. Try Another Browser Fingerprint
+
+```bash
+webclaw https://protected.example.com --browser firefox --format markdown
+webclaw https://protected.example.com --browser random --format markdown
+```
+
+## 4. Use Cloud Fallback
+
+```bash
+export WEBCLAW_API_KEY=wc_your_key
+
+webclaw https://protected.example.com --cloud --format markdown
+```
+
+Cloud mode can use hosted routing, JS rendering, and protected-site handling that are not part of the fully local open-source path.
+
+## 5. Keep a Reproducible Report
+
+When reporting a problem, include:
+
+- target URL
+- command used
+- selected format
+- whether `--raw-html` returned a challenge or normal page HTML
+- whether `--browser firefox` changed the result
+- whether cloud mode changed the result
+

+# Firecrawl-Compatible API
+
+webclaw exposes Firecrawl-compatible v2 routes for teams migrating existing scrape, crawl, map, or search calls.
+
+## Scrape
+
+```bash
+curl https://api.webclaw.io/v2/scrape \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WEBCLAW_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "url": "https://example.com",
+    "formats": ["markdown"]
+  }'
+```
+
+## Crawl
+
+```bash
+curl https://api.webclaw.io/v2/crawl \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WEBCLAW_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "url": "https://docs.example.com",
+    "limit": 25,
+    "maxDepth": 2
+  }'
+```
+
+Poll the returned crawl id:
+
+```bash
+curl https://api.webclaw.io/v2/crawl/$CRAWL_ID \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WEBCLAW_API_KEY"
+```
+
+## Map
+
+```bash
+curl https://api.webclaw.io/v2/map \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WEBCLAW_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "url": "https://docs.example.com"
+  }'
+```
+
+## Search
+
+```bash
+curl https://api.webclaw.io/v2/search \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WEBCLAW_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "query": "site:docs.rs tokio tutorial",
+    "limit": 5
+  }'
+```
+
+Compatibility routes are meant to reduce migration friction. For new projects, prefer the native `/v1` API because it exposes webclaw-specific options more directly.

+# HTML to Markdown for RAG
+
+Turn web pages into clean markdown or compact LLM text before chunking, embedding, or passing the page to an agent.
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+# Clean markdown with headings, links, and readable structure.
+webclaw https://docs.anthropic.com --format markdown > page.md
+
+# Token-optimized output for direct LLM context.
+webclaw https://docs.anthropic.com --format llm > page.txt
+
+# Keep the main article content and remove common navigation/footer noise.
+webclaw https://docs.anthropic.com \
+  --only-main-content \
+  --format markdown \
+  > page.md
+```
+
+## Batch a URL List
+
+Create `urls.txt`:
+
+```text
+https://docs.anthropic.com/
+https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code
+https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/messages
+```
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+webclaw --urls-file urls.txt --format llm > corpus.txt
+```
+
+## Hosted API
+
+```bash
+curl https://api.webclaw.io/v1/scrape \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WEBCLAW_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "url": "https://docs.anthropic.com",
+    "formats": ["markdown", "llm"],
+    "only_main_content": true
+  }'
+```
+
+Use `markdown` when humans may inspect the output. Use `llm` when the next step is chunking, embedding, summarization, or prompt context.

+# MCP Web Scraping
+
+Use webclaw as a local MCP server so Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode, Codex CLI, or another MCP client can fetch clean web context.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npx create-webclaw
+```
+
+The installer detects supported MCP clients and can write the config for you.
+
+## Manual Config
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "webclaw": {
+      "command": "~/.webclaw/webclaw-mcp",
+      "env": {
+        "WEBCLAW_API_KEY": "wc_your_key"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`WEBCLAW_API_KEY` is optional for local extraction. Add it when you want cloud fallback for protected sites, JS rendering, hosted search, or hosted research.
+
+## Example Prompts
+
+```text
+Scrape https://docs.rs/tokio and summarize the parts about task spawning.
+```
+
+```text
+Crawl https://docs.example.com up to depth 2 and return the pages most relevant to authentication.
+```
+
+```text
+Extract the pricing tiers from https://example.com/pricing as JSON with fields name, price, limits, and features.
+```
+
+The MCP server exposes tools for scrape, crawl, map, batch, extract, summarize, diff, brand, research, search, and vertical extractors.

+# Proxy-Backed Crawling
+
+Use proxy rotation when you need to distribute a crawl across a proxy pool. webclaw supports a single proxy or a proxy file.
+
+## Single Proxy
+
+```bash
+webclaw https://example.com \
+  --proxy http://user:pass@proxy.example.com:8080 \
+  --format markdown
+```
+
+SOCKS5 is supported too:
+
+```bash
+webclaw https://example.com \
+  --proxy socks5://proxy.example.com:1080 \
+  --format markdown
+```
+
+## Proxy Pool
+
+Create `proxies.txt` with one proxy per line:
+
+```text
+http://user:pass@proxy-1.example.com:8080
+http://user:pass@proxy-2.example.com:8080
+http://user:pass@proxy-3.example.com:8080
+```
+
+Run a crawl with controlled concurrency:
+
+```bash
+webclaw https://docs.example.com \
+  --crawl \
+  --depth 2 \
+  --max-pages 100 \
+  --concurrency 10 \
+  --delay 200 \
+  --proxy-file proxies.txt \
+  --format markdown
+```
+
+## Batch URLs
+
+```bash
+webclaw --urls-file urls.txt \
+  --proxy-file proxies.txt \
+  --concurrency 10 \
+  --format json
+```
+
+Proxy rotation helps with throughput and IP reputation. It does not replace request fingerprinting, JS rendering, or challenge handling for heavily protected sites. For those, use hosted cloud mode with `WEBCLAW_API_KEY`.
