Camofox Browser: An "invisible browser" for AI agents, an open source self-hosted solution that passes Cloudflare and anti-crawling detectionCamofox Browser：给 AI 智能体用的「隐身浏览器」，过 Cloudflare 与反爬检测的开源自托管方案

Anti-crawling of mainstream sites is becoming more and more fierce. Ordinary headless browsers are recognized as soon as they shake hands, and agents are blocked nine times out of ten when they capture data. Each session of Camofox has a real browser fingerprint and supports proxy exit. After hitting the target site, it returns "what a real person sees".

It is a drop-in design: just point the endpoint of your existing Puppeteer / Playwright script to the Camofox service, without changing a single line of code, and you will immediately gain invisibility capabilities.

Built-in search macros: @google_search, @youtube_search, @amazon_search, @reddit_subreddit and more than 10 commonly used macros, one request completes "search + extraction".

Subtitle extraction: POST /youtube/transcript directly obtains YouTube video subtitles without having to fiddle with third-party libraries.

Single-port HTTP API, Docker self-hosts one-line commands, and the official image also has built-in yt-dlp.

There is Docker: docker build -t camofox . && docker run -p 9377:9377 camofox; pure Python can also start the service directly after pip install -r requirements.txt, and the default listening port is 9377.

Verification: curl -X POST http://localhost:9377/youtube/transcript -d '{"url":"Video link","languages":["en"]}', if you can get subtitles, it means the service is normal.

The download button provides the complete source code package of the master branch (about 2 MB), including Dockerfile, Python server and search macro definitions. Unzip and build.

Please use Camofox for legal and compliant data collection scenarios, comply with the robots agreement and terms of service of the target website, and bear your own responsibility for use. This article is compiled from public information, and the resources are only for learning and exchange.
