The Problem
Founders building Firecrawl-style OSS scrapers in 2026 ship the library quickly but struggle with the launch surface: hosted fallback, docs, templates, and a distribution plan. A launch kit removes weeks of yak-shaving and gets the project to Product Hunt day one.
How Scavio Helps
- Scavio-backed hosted fallback for users without a proxy stack
- GitHub template with CI, docs, and npm publish baked in
- Reddit and HN launch-day checklist tuned to dev audiences
- Analytics wiring for download and star tracking
- MIT-compatible; ship your repo with zero licensing friction

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "open source firecrawl alternative launch":
import requests
API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
headers={
"x-api-key": API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={"query": query},
)
data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
print(f" {result['link']}\n")Built for OSS founders, indie hackers, dev-tool builders, solo maintainers
Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your oss scraper launch kit solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
