Products & Services

Market Position
Scraperr positions itself as a powerful, self-hosted, no-code web-scraping solution: users can target elements with XPath and avoid writing scraper code or configuring a tool such as Puppeteer. Its differentiators are self-hosting, a decoupled API/frontend, queue management, domain spidering, media downloads, exports, and optional AI integration; the repository is MIT-licensed.
Founding Story
Pyles describes jaydenpyles.dev as a continuously evolving playground for trying ideas and learning new technologies. Scraperr was created to make website scraping simpler, without the setup and configuration required by tools such as Puppeteer; its decoupled frontend and API also allow other applications to submit scraping jobs.
Business Model
Revenue Model
The publicly described projects are open-source and self-hosted; Scraperr is distributed under the MIT license and the available materials describe deployment rather than a paid subscription or usage-based plan.
