Deploy and Host WebSurfer on Railway

WebSurfer is a high-performance API that helps LLMs surf the web. It fetches, parses, and converts web content (HTML, PDF, Markdown) into LLM-friendly formats with token estimation, pagination, and Redis-backed caching.

About Hosting WebSurfer

WebSurfer deploys as a single Go binary with Redis as its only dependency. The server handles web fetching, content parsing, and caching automatically. Configuration is managed through environment variables for connection settings and an optional config.yaml for fine-tuning behavior like rate limits, user agents, and site-specific rules. The API requires authentication via API key for all endpoints except the health check.

Common Use Cases

Powering AI agents that need to read and understand web pages
Building RAG pipelines that ingest web content
Creating web research tools for LLM applications

Dependencies for WebSurfer Hosting

Go runtime (included in Railway build)
Redis (for caching)

Deployment Dependencies

Redis - Required for caching fetched content
