Every product should work before sale, include a precise PDF manual, explain what problem it solves, and avoid duplicating existing marketplace products.
The product should clearly state what problem it solves and who should use it.
Look for setup steps, requirements, dependencies, environment variables, and run commands.
Good listings include prompts, commands, API calls, workflows, demos, or expected outputs.
Product specification
Harvest recursive web citations and context instantly without installation overhead.
Most scraping solutions require heavy frameworks like Scrapy, expensive API subscriptions, or复杂的 browser automation just to capture a single URL and its direct references.
This CLI tool bypasses the dependency hell of modern data extraction. By leveraging the Python standard library, it creates a lightweight, portable asset that recursively aggregates a source URL and its top outbound references into a single text dump, perfect for LLM input or archival.
What's included:
- Zero-Config CLI -- Eliminates setup time with a single command execution, requiring no environmental variables or configuration files.
- Pure Python Standard Library -- Removes "dependency hell" by using only `urllib` and `html.parser`, ensuring the script runs on any system with Python installed.
- Recursive Depth Crawling -- Captures the semantic context of citations by following outbound links up to a specified depth (default 2), unlike simple static scrapers.
- Smart Noise Filtering -- Increases data signal by automatically stripping out ads, tracking scripts, and navigation elements to isolate the main body text.
- Single-File Architecture -- Functions as a standalone compounding asset that can be easily version-controlled, shared, or embedded in larger pipelines.
Who this is for:
Developers, founders, and growth teams who need to build context-aware datasets or perform competitive research without committing to monthly subscriptions for heavy tools like Octoparse or Browse AI. Ideal for those who appreciate raw, unfiltered data ports.
Real example:
Before: A developer needed to research a competitor's article and their three cited sources. Setting up a headless browser and writing a custom script to handle pagination and cleaning took 45 minutes. After: Running `depth-scrape https://competitor.com/article --depth 1` delivered the combined, cleaned text of the article and all references in 4 seconds.
What you'll achieve:
- Reduce data acquisition lead time from hours to seconds for specific URL targets.
- Eliminate recurring software costs for small-to-medium scale scraping tasks.
- Generate high-quality, cleaned text inputs ready for RAG pipelines or summarization.
