Pagesift converts messy web pages, PDFs, and Office documents into clean Markdown and structured JSON that language models can actually use, from one self-hosted binary you run yourself. Call it the way you already call Firecrawl: the HTTP API speaks the Firecrawl v1 and v2 formats, so existing scrape, crawl, and batch jobs point at your server instead, and a Jina Reader style endpoint answers simple /r/ URL requests. Scrape a single page, submit batches, or crawl whole sites with sitemap support, focused crawling by query, robots.txt respect, and per-host rate limits by default. Headless rendering kicks in only when a page needs JavaScript, keeping plain pages fast. Documents work offline too: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, EPUB, and CSV files become Markdown with titles, links, images, and publication metadata attached. Jobs persist so long crawls survive restarts, webhooks report completions, and per-API-key limits and quotas keep multi-tenant use civilized, with Prometheus metrics and a health endpoint for operators. AI agents can drive the same engine directly through the bundled MCP server over stdio or HTTP, while developers get Python, Node, and Rust libraries. Memory stays bounded under load by design, sized from container limits rather than hope.
