Show HN: Crawlee – The web scraping and browser automation library for Node.js
5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Aug 2022

Hey! Crawlee uses the libraries from our fingerprint suite internally. https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite#performance
It has an A rating in the BotD (fingerprint.js) detection. Now we're working on improving the CreepJS detection. That one is really tough though. Not even sure if anybody would use it in production environments as it must throw a lot of false positives.
It will always be free and maintained, because we're using it internally in all of our projects. We thought about adding a commercial license like Docker. Open source, but paid if you have more than $10mil revenue or more than 250 employees. But in the end we decided that we won't do even that and it's just free and always be free.
