Key Features

Website crawling
Website Content Crawler is an Apify Actor that can perform a deep crawl of one or more websites and extract text content and files from the web pages.
Simple setup
Website Content Crawler has a simple input configuration so that it can be easily integrated into customer-facing products, where customers can enter just a URL of the website they want to have indexed by an AI application.
Recursive crawling
The Actor crawls the start URLs, finds links to other pages, and recursively crawls those pages, too, as long as their URL is under the start URL.
Blocked request retries
It recognizes common blocking patterns like CAPTCHAs and automatically retries blocked requests through new sessions.
Content cleanup
Once the web page is ready, the Actor transforms its DOM to remove irrelevant content in order to help you ensure you're feeding your AI models with relevant data to keep them accurate.
File downloads
If the Save files option is set, the Actor will download "document" files linked from the page. This is limited to PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, and XLSX files.
Output formats
Once the web page HTML is processed, the Actor converts it to the desired output format, including plain text, Markdown to preserve rich formatting, or save the full HTML or a screenshot of the page, which is useful for debugging.
Content metadata
The Actor also saves important metadata about the content, such as author, language, publishing date, etc.
AI summary
If you set summarize to true in the input, Website Content Crawler will summarize each page's content with OpenRouter .
