Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A command-line tool for web search, open-source code search, library documentation, scraping, and crawling.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-19 issue.

For: Developers and agents doing web research
Worth noticing: The auto backend falls through keyless providers, while every command can emit structured JSON.

Field notes

Ketch presents a unified interface over web search, OSS code search, library documentation, HTML or PDF scraping, and site crawling. Its documented output format places YAML frontmatter before content, while --json supplies structured objects for programs. The homepage also describes an auto backend that tries keyless providers and exposes doctor and config commands for inspecting setup without probing the environment.
