DOCUMENTATION / HOUNDSCRAPER

HoundScraper documentation

Local-first content extraction and durable crawling for AI agents. Independently implemented under Apache 2.0.

Start with the core

Run the API, PostgreSQL and React dashboard using Docker Compose. Core HTTP scraping, deterministic formats and persistent jobs require no model-provider account.

git clone https://github.com/warhoundai/HoundScraper.git
cd HoundScraper
python scripts/configure.py
docker compose up --build -d

Know the release boundary

Version 0.1.0 is the stable core release. The 0.2 preview adds bounded agents, native Gemini/Vertex adapters, S3 storage, shared origin pacing and document/media processing. PostgreSQL, Chromium, scoped AWS S3, PDF/OCR, Office and human-speech fixtures are qualified separately. Live Vertex and search-provider acceptance remain outstanding. This is not full Firecrawl parity.
