HeadlessX
With 2,000 GitHub stars and 10 releases since its September 2025 launch, HeadlessX delivers a self-hosted browser automation platform that replaces Chromium-based scraping with Camoufox — a Firefox fork performing kernel-level fingerprint spoofing to achieve 0% detection across Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, and other anti-bot systems where Puppeteer and Playwright regularly fail. The web dashboard provides workspace-based job organization with a visual interface for configuring scrape targets, managing browser profiles, monitoring queue status, and viewing extracted results in real time. The protected REST API accepts requests with API key authentication for programmatic access, supporting HTML extraction, screenshot capture, PDF generation, and structured data parsing with configurable stealth parameters. Profile-based scraping maintains persistent browser contexts with cookie jars, localStorage, and fingerprint configurations that survive between requests — reducing cold-start latency from 25 seconds to under 2 seconds on subsequent requests. Queue-backed workflows enable batch processing of URLs with configurable concurrency, retry logic, and webhook notifications on completion. The Google AI Search integration provides AI-assisted web research workflows through dedicated endpoints. Remote MCP support exposes automation capabilities as tool endpoints for AI agent integration. Deploy via the official CLI with `headlessx init` and `headlessx start` commands, scaffolding a Docker Compose stack with Caddy reverse proxy for automatic HTTPS. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
