Add new type definitions file with extensive Union type aliases for all core components including AsyncUrlSeeder, SeedingConfig, and various crawler strategies. Enhance test coverage with improved bot detection tests, Docker-based testing, and extended features validation. The changes provide better type safety and more robust testing infrastructure for the crawling framework.
Implement hierarchical configuration for LLM parameters with support for:
- Temperature control (0.0-2.0) to adjust response creativity
- Custom base_url for proxy servers and alternative endpoints
- 4-tier priority: request params > provider env > global env > defaults
Add helper functions in utils.py, update API schemas and handlers,
support environment variables (LLM_TEMPERATURE, OPENAI_TEMPERATURE, etc.),
and provide comprehensive documentation with examples.
- Support LLM_PROVIDER env var to override default provider (openai/gpt-4o-mini)
- Add optional 'provider' parameter to API endpoints for per-request overrides
- Implement provider validation to ensure API keys exist
- Update documentation and examples with new configuration options
Closes the need to hardcode providers in config.yml
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.
