Draco is a new, single-binary web scraping tool written in Rust, designed as a lightweight alternative to solutions like Firecrawl and Browserbase. It efficiently extracts clean Markdown and metadata from web pages by mimicking browser TLS fingerprints to bypass client blocks. Draco can also extract structured data from Single Page Applications (SPAs) by intercepting API calls or replaying JavaScript execution within a sandboxed V8 isolate, all without requiring a full headless browser fleet.
