How I Built Smart Scraper M2M: A Fast ~30ms Scraper API for AI Agents

Building AI Agents with frameworks like CrewAI or LangChain often hits a bottleneck: heavy, slow web scraping that bloats context windows and increases LLM token costs. To solve this, I built Smart Scraper M2M โ€” a lightweight, high-performance web scraper API designed specifically for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. ๐ŸŒŸ Key Features โšก Ultra-fast: Returns clean structured JSON in ~30ms . ๐Ÿง โ€ฆ

Smart Scraper M2M is a fast and efficient web scraper API designed specifically for machine-to-machine communication, enabling AI agents to process relevant data quickly. The API, built by a developer, offers several key features:

1. Ultra-fast performance: It returns clean structured JSON data in a remarkable 30ms.

2. Context-optimization: By stripping out unnecessary HTML and CSS elements, the API ensures LLMs only process relevant information.

3. Agent-friendliness: Smart Scraper M2M is designed to integrate seamlessly with popular frameworks like CrewAI, LangChain, and custom Node.js agents.

To use the API, developers can quickly test it or explore the full source code on GitHub. The repository is live at https://github.com/MRIGL/smart-scraper-m2m. The developer is actively working on improving the API and encourages feedback, feature requests, or contributions. To get involved, users can star the repository or leave a comment on the project page.

The Semantic Cache That Made a Free LLM Quota Feel Infinite

A token allowance is usually treated as a spending budget, which is the wrong mental model for free tiers. The right model is a cache to be managed, because agent workloads repeat themselves far moreโ€ฆ

  • Token allowances for free LLM tiers are often viewed as spending budgets.
  • Semantic cache can reduce token consumption by up to half in agent workflows.
  • Zero-dependency character n-gram Jaccard similarity is chosen for similarity metric.

Code Review in the AI Era

One thing I have been thinking about a lot recently is how AI is changing not only the way we write code, but also some of the engineering processes we have built around software development.
