| Parameters | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
url | string | The root URL to begin the crawl |
allow_external | booleanoptional | Whether to return external links in the final response |
extract_depth | stringoptional | Advanced extraction retrieves more data, including tables and embedded content, with higher success but may increase latency |
format | stringoptional | The format of the extracted web page content. markdown returns content in markdown format. text returns plain text and may increase latency. |
include_favicon | booleanoptional | Whether to include the favicon URL for each result |
instructions | stringoptional | Natural language instructions for the crawler. Instructions specify which types of pages the crawler should return. |
limit | integeroptional | Total number of links the crawler will process before stopping |
max_breadth | integeroptional | Max number of links to follow per level of the tree (i.e., per page) |
max_depth | integeroptional | Max depth of the crawl. Defines how far from the base URL the crawler can explore. |
select_domains | arrayoptional | Regex patterns to restrict crawling to specific domains or subdomains (e.g., ^docs.example.com$) |
select_paths | arrayoptional | Regex patterns to select only URLs with specific path patterns (e.g., /docs/., /api/v1.) |
