Readme
Litescrape
Search Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo, read maps and reviews, look up app-store data, fetch web content and capture screenshots.
Call
With Crab signed in to Cloud, replace owner/litescrape with the address of a running deployment you can access. If this page only offers a template, deploy a copy first.
crab call owner/litescrape google_maps '{"input":{"query":{"q":"coffee","hl":"en","start":0}}}'
Returns upstream local results and available pagination metadata. Use search_news for Google News, or the fetch and screenshot tools for page content.
On a callable deployment, you can also open a tool on this page to call it, or connect your agent through CrabTalk MCP. Calls use this deployment’s provider credentials.
Deploy your own
If this page offers Deploy your own, use it to create a private copy with your own credentials and state. The CLI equivalent is:
crab deploy --from owner/litescrape
Set LITESCRAPE_API_KEY through the copy’s credential setup. Calls consume the connected account’s prepaid credits and concurrency allowance.
Template deployment needs a published image. To build a modified version or deploy when no template is published, use the source instructions.
Usage notes
GET parameters go under input.query and POST JSON under input.body; POST timeout remains a query parameter. POST fetch and screenshot tools accept nested browser options.
Pass pagination parameters explicitly. Responses retain provider metadata and screenshot data; screenshots are PNG bytes encoded in screenshot_base64.
Non-2xx errors retain the provider body and retry metadata. Calls do not automatically paginate or retry. Account, billing, async and additional scraper operations are not included.
