Adds a new wait_for_timeout parameter to CrawlerRunConfig that allows specifying
a separate timeout for the wait_for condition, independent of the page_timeout.
This provides more granular control over waiting behaviors in the crawler.
Also removes unused colorama dependency and updates LinkedIn crawler example.
BREAKING CHANGE: LinkedIn crawler example now uses different wait_for_images timing
Resolved a bug where running the crawler on local HTML files with `capture_console_messages=False`
(default) raised `UnboundLocalError` due to `captured_console` being accessed before assignment.
Revised the description for the `f` parameter in the `/mcp/md` tool schema to use lowercase enum values
(`raw`, `fit`, `bm25`, `llm`) for consistency with the actual `enum` definition. This change prevents
LLM-based clients (e.g., Gemini via LibreChat) from generating uppercase values like `"FIT"`, which
caused 422 validation errors due to strict case-sensitive matching.
This patch ensures consistent handling of `response.choices[0].message.content` by avoiding redefinition
of the `response` variable, which caused downstream exceptions during error handling.
Removes automatic page closure in take_screenshot and take_screenshot_naive methods
to prevent premature closure of pages that might still be needed in the calling context.
This allows for more flexible page lifecycle management by the caller.
BREAKING CHANGE: Page objects are no longer automatically closed after taking screenshots.
Callers must explicitly handle page closure when appropriate.
Add session_id feature to allow reusing browser pages across multiple crawls.
Add support for view-source: protocol in URL handling.
Fix browser config reference and string formatting issues.
Update examples to demonstrate new session management features.
BREAKING CHANGE: Browser page handling now persists when using session_id
Add new RegexExtractionStrategy for fast, zero-LLM extraction of common data types:
- Built-in patterns for emails, URLs, phones, dates, and more
- Support for custom regex patterns
- LLM-assisted pattern generation utility
- Optimized HTML preprocessing with fit_html field
- Enhanced network response body capture
Breaking changes: None
Implements new asynchronous endpoints for handling long-running crawl and LLM tasks:
- POST /crawl/job and GET /crawl/job/{task_id} for crawl operations
- POST /llm/job and GET /llm/job/{task_id} for LLM operations
- Added Redis-based task management with configurable TTL
- Moved schema definitions to dedicated schemas.py
- Added example polling client demo_docker_polling.py
This change allows clients to handle long-running operations asynchronously through a polling pattern rather than holding connections open.
Add new LinkedIn prospect discovery tool with three main components:
- c4ai_discover.py for company and people scraping
- c4ai_insights.py for org chart and decision maker analysis
- Interactive graph visualization with company/people exploration
Features include:
- Configurable LinkedIn search and scraping
- Org chart generation with decision maker scoring
- Interactive network graph visualization
- Company similarity analysis
- Chat interface for data exploration
Requires: crawl4ai, openai, sentence-transformers, networkx
Enhance browser profile handling with better process cleanup and documentation:
- Add process cleanup for existing Chromium instances on Windows/Unix
- Fix profile creation by passing complete browser config
- Add comprehensive documentation for browser and CLI components
- Add initial profile creation test
- Bump version to 0.6.3
This change improves reliability when managing browser profiles and provides better documentation for developers.
Modify BrowserConfig to respect explicit headless parameter setting instead of forcing True. Update version to 0.6.2 and clean up code formatting in examples.
BREAKING CHANGE: BrowserConfig no longer defaults to headless=True when explicitly set to False
- Add tables field to CrawlResult model while maintaining backward compatibility
- Update async_webcrawler.py to extract tables from media and pass to tables field
- Update crypto_analysis_example.py to use the new tables field
- Add /config/dump examples to demo_docker_api.py
- Bump version to 0.6.1
