# Pry

> Pry is a self-hosted web scraping + browser automation API with Cloudflare bypass, stealth, and x402 pay-per-call monetization. MIT core. No API keys, no credit cards, no SaaS lock-in. 12 data domains for data teams and AI agents.

## What it is

- Open-source, self-hosted scraping and browser automation API (FastAPI).

- Stealth engine: Camoufox stealth Firefox, TLS-fingerprint randomization, six behavioral JavaScript scripts.
- x402 pay-per-call: gate endpoints behind HTTP 402, get paid per call in USDC/USDT/ETH/ARB across Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana and TRON (more chains via x402). No subscriptions, no Stripe, no KYC.
- MCP server over stdio, HTTP and SSE transports; GPT Action manifest; `/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md`.

## Data domains

Pry covers 12 data domains:

1. **Web scraping with Cloudflare bypass** — extract any public page, even behind Cloudflare or bot walls, as markdown or structured JSON (`/v1/scrape`).
2. **Browser automation + screenshots** — login flows, form fills, persistent sessions, full-page screenshots (`/v1/automate`, `/v1/screenshot`).
3. **PDF, OCR & documents** — PDFs, scanned images, DOCX, CSV and JSON to text and structured data (`/v1/parse`, `/v1/ocr/extract`).
4. **Crypto market intel** — token launches, CEX listing signals, rug/honeypot security checks with risk scores (`/v1/crypto/*`).
5. **Marketplace intel** — Amazon, Walmart and TikTok Shop product data: price, availability, reviews.
6. **Legal & public records** — court dockets, SEC filings, sanctions lists, corporate registries.
7. **Real estate** — property listings, price history and market data.
8. **Jobs (multi-ATS)** — postings across Greenhouse, Lever, Workday and other ATS systems.
9. **Travel** — flight prices, hotel rates and availability, without GDS fees.
10. **Attention & SEO** — SERP positions, AI Overview presence, ad-spend intelligence (`/v1/seo/analyze`).
11. **Local business** — Google Maps and Yelp listings, reviews, ratings and hours.
12. **x402 pay-per-call + MCP** — expose any domain to AI agents over MCP, billed per call in crypto.

Recipe domains (marketplace, legal, real estate, jobs, travel, local) compose the core `scrape → extract → monitor` operations; built-in packs (crypto, SEO) ship ready endpoints.
