About anansi

The spider that learns. Every web scraper starts working. The question is how long before it breaks. Anansi is built on a different assumption: the web is adversarial and unstable, and your scraper should handle that without your involvement. When a site changes its layout, Anansi finds the data anyway and remembers the fix: CSS selectors are scored by confidence and healed automatically. When a page needs a browser to render, it switches to one silently. When bot detection gets in the way, it mimics Chrome's TLS fingerprint at the network level, the layer most scrapers never think about.
