AutoScrape Labs
AutoScrape Labs develops open-source developer tools for browser automation and web scraping. Its flagship project, Pydoll, drives Chrome and Edge directly over the Chrome DevTools Protocol without WebDriver, adding stealth/fingerprint controls, humanized interaction, network control, and typed extraction.

Latest News
Pydoll 3.0.0 released with generated synchronous API, Playwright-compatible layer, new waiting methods, and faster core
Pydoll 2.27.0 released with native-first fingerprint overrides, Chromium client hints, WebGPU profile, full worker coverage, and fingerprint coherence fixes
Pydoll 2.26.0 released with out-of-process iframe fingerprint injection
AutoScrape Labs published Injekta, a type-safe zero-dependency Python dependency-injection library
Products & Services
MIT-licensed Python library for automating Chromium-based browsers over raw CDP without a WebDriver binary or driver process. It offers async and sync APIs, stealth/fingerprint injection, humanized mouse and typing, Cloudflare Turnstile handling, network interception/monitoring, shadow DOM and iframe support, structured Pydantic extraction, and a Playwright-compatible API layer.
Lightweight, type-safe dependency-injection library for Python with one decorator, zero dependencies, and full type inference.
Market Position
Pydoll positions itself as a stealth-first, CDP-native alternative to Selenium/WebDriver tooling: it removes the driver binary and navigator.webdriver signal, provides built-in fingerprint injection and humanized interactions, and supports native async concurrency. It also differentiates from standard Playwright by offering a Playwright-compatible layer while retaining Pydoll's direct-CDP and stealth features.
Leadership

Executive Team
Thalison Fernandes
Creator and maintainer of Pydoll; AutoScrape Labs organization owner
Lead Software Engineer at Crustdata, where his profile says he built and owns the browser platform behind SERP, page-fetch, and Google Maps APIs; previously worked at Zyte on fault-tolerant crawling pipelines and co-founded a scraping company.
Founding Story
Pydoll began as a rewrite of a production crawler that Selenium could no longer keep alive. Fernandes' initial vision was a Python browser-automation library that connects directly to Chromium through CDP, eliminating WebDriver and its automation markers while remaining practical for scraping infrastructure.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Pydoll and Injekta are open-source MIT-licensed software distributed through GitHub and PyPI. The project is supported by GitHub sponsorships and sponsor relationships; the official site presents sponsors as helping keep Pydoll maintained. No paid SaaS or API pricing was identified.
