README

pagesift 1.4.1

The web and document layer for AI agents: any URL, document, email, archive or source file in, clean Markdown, structured JSON or DataGraph relations out.
One self-hosted Rust binary with a CLI, Firecrawl and Jina Reader APIs, an MCP server, and packages for Python, Node.js, Go, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP and more.

Measured: PDF to Markdown 2.5 ms per page, 20.08× faster than the next best tool; HTML to Markdown 0.23 ms per page, 8.36× faster; main content 1.0 ms per page, 7.26× faster (lower is better); Office 81.9 files/s, 3.03× the next best (higher is better).

English · 简体中文 · 日本語 · Español

What it is

pagesift reads the web and documents for software that thinks: it fetches a URL, rendering JavaScript only when that adds content, or opens a local file, and returns the content as Markdown or structured JSON. It covers single pages, whole sites, scanned PDFs, browser actions, change monitoring and research runs driven by your own model.

Can replace or sit alongside: Firecrawl (same v1/v2 API, self-hosted), Jina Reader (/r/ and /s/), Crawl4AI, trafilatura, Readability, pymupdf4llm, Docling, Kreuzberg, xberg.

At a glance

Input: URLs, HTML, PDF including scanned pages (OCR), image files (OCR), Word (.docx, .doc), Excel (.xlsx, .xlsb, .xls), PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt), OpenDocument, RTF, WordPerfect, HWP, EPUB, MOBI, FB2, email (.eml, .mbox, .msg), archives (zip, tar, gz, bz2, xz, 7z), SQLite, dBASE, CSV, Markdown and other text formats, 373 source-code and config languages, WARC archives
Output: Markdown, HTML, raw HTML, links, images, metadata, schema-based JSON, DataGraph relations & evidence; warnings when a result is incomplete
Interfaces: CLI · Firecrawl v1/v2 HTTP API · Jina Reader · MCP (stdio or HTTP) · Python · Node.js / TypeScript · Rust crate · C ABI with Go, Java, Kotlin, C#, Ruby, PHP, Lua, Perl, Dart, Swift and Zig bindings · LangChain and LlamaIndex
Platforms: Linux x86_64 / aarch64 (glibc ≥ 2.28 and musl), macOS arm64, Windows x86_64; Docker image ghcr.io/yolow92/pagesift
Runtime: nothing to install for HTTP, PDF and Office. Optional: a browser for JavaScript pages, an NVIDIA GPU for OCR, your own model for /v2/agent
Memory: 17–395 MB peak per worker across the 1.4 benchmarks without a browser; OCR with formula models needs about 1.7 GB; capacity is sized from the cgroup limit
License: Apache-2.0, or commercial support
Latest: 1.4.1 · release notes
