Point it at a URL and get clean Markdown + metadata back, using a browser-faithful TLS/JA4 fingerprint to reach pages that block ordinary clients. No Node, no headless-Chrome fleet, no per-request browser boot. The fastest way to install Draco on Linux or macOS is via the install script: (This will automatically detect your OS/architecture, download the latest binary, and add it to your /.zshrc , /.bashrc , or /.config/fish/config.fish ) Then try scraping a page: For a standard HTML page that's a single fingerprinted fetch + parse — typically 300 ms, no browser — and the Markdown pipeline mirrors Firecrawl's (deterministic main-content extraction + a Turndown/GFM-equivalent converter), implemented natively in Rust. Client-rendered SPAs (whose content only appears after JavaScript runs) are handled too, via render-then-Markdown — no headless browser fleet. What you get - markdown — the page's main content as clean Markdown: headings, links (absolutized), lists, blockquotes, fenced code blocks (with language), and GFM tables. Boilerplate (nav / header / aside / footer / ads) is stripped, scripts and styles never leak, base64 images are elided. - metadata — title , description , language , canonical , favicon , every og: / twitter: / article: tag, plus sourceURL , statusCode , contentType . - trace + timing — exactly which steps ran and where the milliseconds went.
