Introduction
It’s alive.
Frankensurf gives your agent one way to read the web. It works with any model, on any site, through a single call.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”You ask for a page. Frankensurf works out how to get it.
Some pages come back with a plain HTTP request. Some need a real browser. Some block bots and need a stealth browser. Some need you to be logged in. Frankensurf tries the cheapest way first and moves up only when it has to. It remembers what worked, so the next visit is faster.
It doesn’t build any of those tools itself. It connects the best existing ones and picks between them for you. When a better tool comes out, it plugs in.
No artificial limits
Every limit is a setting with a sensible default. Change any of them.
Plug anything in
Browsers, scrapers, search, proxies and site parsers are all plugins.
Shows its work
Every result says how it was fetched, when, and what it cost.
