Description
Fastcrawl turns any URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown, JavaScript rendered. REST and MCP, one API key. Flat pricing: one credit per format — markdown + html + links + json costs the same as markdown alone. Cached repeats are free. Free tier: 1,500 credits a month, no card. Go: $5/month for 5,000. Measured, not claimed: HTTP pages return in ~325ms at the median, browser renders in ~6s.

Could you build this?
Partial Creating a web wrapper that returns markdown is simple, but building a production crawler capable of running headless browsers at scale, bypassing anti-bot shields, and extracting clean markdown requires heavy scraping infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A competitive crawling service requires distributed headless browser clusters (Playwright/Puppeteer on Kubernetes) orchestrated with proxy rotation networks and anti-bot bypass solutions (handling Cloudflare, Datadome, CAPTCHAs). The extraction pipeline requires robust HTML-to-markdown parsing (Readability/Turndown) and an efficient caching and queue architecture (Redis/BullMQ) capable of processing millions of requests concurrently.
