Is Scrapling free to use?

Yes — it is open source under the BSD-3-Clause license. Read the license in the repository for what is permitted, including any conditions on redistribution or commercial use.

Does it need a paid API key?

No. Scrapling is a local library; optional AI extras use your own model access if you enable them.
