Input Parameters
include_urls
URL path patterns to include in the crawl using glob syntax. Defaults to `/**` which includes all URLs. Use patterns like `/blog/**` to crawl specific sections (e.g., only blog pages), `/products/*.html` for product pages, or multiple patterns for different sections. Supports standard glob features like * (any characters) and ** (recursive matching).
top_n
An optional number to only crawl the top N most relevant links on every page as per search query.
webhook_url
An optional POST request endpoint called when this crawl is completed. The body of the request will be same as the response of this [`v1/crawls/{crawl_id}`](./info#response-created) endpoint.
max_depth
Maximum depth of the crawl. Useful to extract only up to n-degree of links.
start_url *
The starting point of the crawl.
exclude_urls
URL path names in glob pattern to exclude. For example: `/careers/**`. Excluded URLs will supersede included URLs.
max_pages *
Maximum number of pages to crawl. Recommended for most use cases like crawling an entire website.
search_query
An optional search query to find specific links and also sort the results by relevance.
timeout
End the crawl after n seconds with the pages completed until then. May take ~10s extra from provided timeout.
