Scrape and monitor the web from one self-hosted binary

Web scraping and monitoring usually means wiring together a runtime, browser, database, scheduler, and alerting. Or paying a SaaS. SpyWeb collapses that into one ~8MB self-hosted cross-platform binary: TOML jobs, Lua hooks, scheduling, dedupe, embedded storage, dashboard + programmable REST API, CDP automation (any CDP-compatible browser or endpoint, local or cloud), webhooks, hot reload, and a Lua test runner. Built for developers, self-hosters, and teams tracking prices, listings, and content.

I built SpyWeb for myself primarily for scraping and monitoring, and it evolves according to my needs. Unexpectedly, I now use it as a simple data processing endpoint, like in production and client's work where it accepts form data, processes it with Lua, and forwards it to another service without spinning up a PHP or Node server. The latest release even exposes CSPRNG bindings because I needed secure tokens and Lua's math.random wasn't good enough.
