-## Power and Simplicity of Crawl4AI 🚀
-
-The most easy way! If you don't want to install any library, you can use the REST API on my server. But remember, this is just a simple server. I may improve its capacity if I see there is demand. You can find ll examples of REST API in this colab notebook. [![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1zODYjhemJ5bUmYceWpVoBMVpd0ofzNBZ?usp=sharing)
-
-```python
-import requests
-
-data = {
-  "urls": [
-    "https://www.nbcnews.com/business"
-  ],
-  "screenshot": True
-}
-
-response = requests.post("https://crawl4ai.com/crawl", json=data) # OR local host if your run locally 
-response_data = response.json()
-print(response_data['results'][0].keys())
-# dict_keys(['url', 'html', 'success', 'cleaned_html', 'media', 
-# 'links', 'screenshot', 'markdown', 'extracted_content', 
-# 'metadata', 'error_message'])
-```
-
-But you muore control then take a look at the first example of using the Python library.
-
-```python
-from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
-
-# Create the WebCrawler instance 
-crawler = WebCrawler() 
-
-# Run the crawler with keyword filtering and CSS selector
-result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business")
-print(result) # {url, html, cleaned_html, markdown, media, links, extracted_content, metadata, screenshots}
-```
-
-Now let's try a complex task. Below is an example of how you can execute JavaScript, filter data using keywords, and use a CSS selector to extract specific content—all in one go!
-
-1. Instantiate a WebCrawler object.
-2. Execute custom JavaScript to click a "Load More" button.
-3. Extract semantical chunks of content and filter the data to include only content related to technology.
-4. Use a CSS selector to extract only paragraphs (`<p>` tags).
-
-```python
-# Import necessary modules
-from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
-from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import *
-from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import *
-from crawl4ai.crawler_strategy import *
-
-# Define the JavaScript code to click the "Load More" button
-js_code = ["""
-const loadMoreButton = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('button')).find(button => button.textContent.includes('Load More'));
-loadMoreButton && loadMoreButton.click();
-"""]
-
-crawler = WebCrawler(verbose=True)
-crawler.warmup()
-# Run the crawler with keyword filtering and CSS selector
-result = crawler.run(
-    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
-    js = js_code,
-    extraction_strategy=CosineStrategy(
-        semantic_filter="technology",
-    ),
-)
-
-# Run the crawler with LLM extraction strategy
-result = crawler.run(
-    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
-    js = js_code,
-    extraction_strategy=LLMExtractionStrategy(
-        provider="openai/gpt-4o",
-        api_token=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
-        instruction="Extract only content related to technology"
-    ),
-    css_selector="p"
-)
-
-# Display the extracted result
-print(result)
-```
-
-With Crawl4AI, you can perform advanced web crawling and data extraction tasks with just a few lines of code. This example demonstrates how you can harness the power of Crawl4AI to simplify your workflow and get the data you need efficiently.

+# Crawl4AI
 
-There are three ways to use Crawl4AI:
-1. As a library (Recommended)
-2. As a local server (Docker) or using the REST API
-4. As a Google Colab notebook. [![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1wz8u30rvbq6Scodye9AGCw8Qg_Z8QGsk)
+## 🌟 Shoutout to Contributors of v0.2.77!
 
-To install Crawl4AI as a library, follow these steps:
+A big thank you to the amazing contributors who've made this release possible:
 
-1. Install the package from GitHub:
+- [@aravindkarnam](https://github.com/aravindkarnam) for the new image description feature
+- [@FractalMind](https://github.com/FractalMind) for our official Docker Hub image
+- [@ketonkss4](https://github.com/ketonkss4) for helping streamline our Selenium setup
+
+Your contributions are driving Crawl4AI forward! 🚀
+
+## Cool Examples 🚀
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+# Create an instance of WebCrawler
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+
+# Warm up the crawler (load necessary models)
+crawler.warmup()
+
+# Run the crawler on a URL
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business")
+
+# Print the extracted content
+print(result.markdown)
+```
+
+## How to install 🛠 
+
+### Using pip 🐍
 ```bash
 virtualenv venv
 source venv/bin/activate
-pip install "crawl4ai[all] @ git+https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git"
+pip install "crawl4ai @ git+https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git"
 ```
 
-💡 Better to run the following CLI-command to load the required models. This is optional, but it will boost the performance and speed of the crawler. You need to do this only once.
+### Using Docker 🐳
 
-    crawl4ai-download-models
-
-2. Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install the package locally:
 ```bash
-virtualenv venv
-source venv/bin/activate
-git clone https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git
-cd crawl4ai
-pip install -e .[all]
-```
-
-3. Use docker to run the local server:
-```bash
-# For Mac users
+# For Mac users (M1/M2)
 # docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t crawl4ai .
-# For other users
-# docker build -t crawl4ai .
+docker build -t crawl4ai .
 docker run -d -p 8000:80 crawl4ai
 ```
 
+### Using Docker Hub 🐳
 
-
-## Using the Local server ot REST API 🌐
-
-You can also use Crawl4AI through the REST API. This method allows you to send HTTP requests to the Crawl4AI server and receive structured data in response. The base URL for the API is `https://crawl4ai.com/crawl` [Available now, on a CPU server, of course will be faster on GPU]. If you run the local server, you can use `http://localhost:8000/crawl`. (Port is dependent on your docker configuration)
-
-### Example Usage
-
-To use the REST API, send a POST request to `http://localhost:8000/crawl` with the following parameters in the request body.
-
-**Example Request:**
-```json
-{
-    "urls": ["https://www.nbcnews.com/business"],
-    "include_raw_html": false,
-    "bypass_cache": true,
-    "word_count_threshold": 5,
-    "extraction_strategy": "CosineStrategy",
-    "chunking_strategy": "RegexChunking",
-    "css_selector": "p",
-    "verbose": true,
-    "extraction_strategy_args": {
-        "semantic_filter": "finance economy and stock market",
-        "word_count_threshold": 20,
-        "max_dist": 0.2,
-        "linkage_method": "ward",
-        "top_k": 3
-    },
-    "chunking_strategy_args": {
-        "patterns": ["\n\n"]
-    }
-}
+```bash
+docker pull unclecode/crawl4ai:latest
+docker run -d -p 8000:80 unclecode/crawl4ai:latest
 ```
 
-**Example Response:**
-```json

+## Speed-First Design 🚀
 
+Perhaps the most important design principle for this library is speed. We need to ensure it can handle many links and resources in parallel as quickly as possible. By combining this speed with fast LLMs like Groq, the results will be truly amazing.
 
-## Python Library Usage 🚀
-
-🔥 A great way to try out Crawl4AI is to run `quickstart.py` in the `docs/examples` directory. This script demonstrates how to use Crawl4AI to crawl a website and extract content from it.
-
-### Quickstart Guide
-
-Create an instance of WebCrawler and call the `warmup()` function.
 ```python
+import time
+from crawl4ai.web_crawler import WebCrawler
 crawler = WebCrawler()
 crawler.warmup()
+
+start = time.time()
+url = r"https://www.nbcnews.com/business"
+result = crawler.run( url, word_count_threshold=10, bypass_cache=True)
+end = time.time()
+print(f"Time taken: {end - start}")
 ```
 
-### Understanding 'bypass_cache' and 'include_raw_html' parameters
+Let's take a look the calculated time for the above code snippet:
 
-First crawl (caches the result):
-```python
-result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business")
+```bash
+[LOG] 🚀 Crawling done, success: True, time taken: 1.3623387813568115 seconds
+[LOG] 🚀 Content extracted, success: True, time taken: 0.05715131759643555 seconds
+[LOG] 🚀 Extraction, time taken: 0.05750393867492676 seconds.
+Time taken: 1.439958095550537
 ```
+Fetching the content from the page took 1.3623 seconds, and extracting the content took 0.0575 seconds. 🚀
 
-Second crawl (Force to crawl again):
-```python
-result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", bypass_cache=True)
-```
-    💡 Don't forget to set `bypass_cache` to True if you want to try different strategies for the same URL. Otherwise, the cached result will be returned. You can also set `always_by_pass_cache` in constructor to True to always bypass the cache.
+### Extract Structured Data from Web Pages 📊
 
-Crawl result without raw HTML content:
-```python
-result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", include_raw_html=False)
-```
-
-### Result Structure
-
-The result object contains the following fields:
-```python
-class CrawlResult(BaseModel):
-    url: str
-    html: str
-    success: bool
-    cleaned_html: Optional[str] = None
-    media: Dict[str, List[Dict]] = {} # Media tags in the page {"images": [], "audio": [], "video": []}
-    links: Dict[str, List[Dict]] = {} # Links in the page {"external": [], "internal": []}
-    screenshot: Optional[str] = None # Base64 encoded screenshot
-    markdown: Optional[str] = None
-    extracted_content: Optional[str] = None
-    metadata: Optional[dict] = None
-    error_message: Optional[str] = None
-```
-
-### Taking Screenshots
+Crawl all OpenAI models and their fees from the official page.
 
 ```python
-result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", screenshot=True)
-with open("screenshot.png", "wb") as f:
-    f.write(base64.b64decode(result.screenshot))
-```
+import os
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import LLMExtractionStrategy
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
 
-### Adding a chunking strategy: RegexChunking
+class OpenAIModelFee(BaseModel):
+    model_name: str = Field(..., description="Name of the OpenAI model.")
+    input_fee: str = Field(..., description="Fee for input token for the OpenAI model.")
+    output_fee: str = Field(..., description="Fee for output token ßfor the OpenAI model.")
+
+url = 'https://openai.com/api/pricing/'
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
 
-Using RegexChunking:
-```python
 result = crawler.run(
-    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
-    chunking_strategy=RegexChunking(patterns=["\n\n"])
-)
-```
-
-Using NlpSentenceChunking:
-```python
-result = crawler.run(
-    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
-    chunking_strategy=NlpSentenceChunking()
-)
-```
-
-### Extraction strategy: CosineStrategy
-
-So far, the extracted content is just the result of chunking. To extract meaningful content, you can use extraction strategies. These strategies cluster consecutive chunks into meaningful blocks, keeping the same order as the text in the HTML. This approach is perfect for use in RAG applications and semantical search queries.
-
-Using CosineStrategy:
-```python
-result = crawler.run(
-    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
-    extraction_strategy=CosineStrategy(
-        semantic_filter="",
-        word_count_threshold=10, 
-        max_dist=0.2, 
-        linkage_method="ward", 
-        top_k=3
+        url=url,
+        word_count_threshold=1,
+        extraction_strategy= LLMExtractionStrategy(
+            provider= "openai/gpt-4o", api_token = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'), 
+            schema=OpenAIModelFee.schema(),
+            extraction_type="schema",
+            instruction="""From the crawled content, extract all mentioned model names along with their fees for input and output tokens. 
+            Do not miss any models in the entire content. One extracted model JSON format should look like this: 
+            {"model_name": "GPT-4", "input_fee": "US$10.00 / 1M tokens", "output_fee": "US$30.00 / 1M tokens"}."""
+        ),            
+        bypass_cache=True,
     )
-)
+
+print(result.extracted_content)
 ```
 
-You can set `semantic_filter` to filter relevant documents before clustering. Documents are filtered based on their cosine similarity to the keyword filter embedding. 
+### Execute JS, Filter Data with CSS Selector, and Clustering
 
 ```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import CosineStrategy
+
+js_code = ["const loadMoreButton = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('button')).find(button => button.textContent.includes('Load More')); loadMoreButton && loadMoreButton.click();"]
+
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()

-## Chunking Strategies 📚
-
-### RegexChunking
-
-`RegexChunking` is a text chunking strategy that splits a given text into smaller parts using regular expressions. This is useful for preparing large texts for processing by language models, ensuring they are divided into manageable segments.
-
-**Constructor Parameters:**
-- `patterns` (list, optional): A list of regular expression patterns used to split the text. Default is to split by double newlines (`['\n\n']`).
-
-**Example usage:**
-```python
-chunker = RegexChunking(patterns=[r'\n\n', r'\. '])
-chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into chunks.")
-```
-
-### NlpSentenceChunking
-
-`NlpSentenceChunking` uses a natural language processing model to chunk a given text into sentences. This approach leverages SpaCy to accurately split text based on sentence boundaries.
-
-**Constructor Parameters:**
-- None.
-
-**Example usage:**
-```python
-chunker = NlpSentenceChunking()
-chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into sentences.")
-```
-
-### TopicSegmentationChunking
-
-`TopicSegmentationChunking` uses the TextTiling algorithm to segment a given text into topic-based chunks. This method identifies thematic boundaries in the text.
-
-**Constructor Parameters:**
-- `num_keywords` (int, optional): The number of keywords to extract for each topic segment. Default is `3`.
-
-**Example usage:**
-```python
-chunker = TopicSegmentationChunking(num_keywords=3)
-chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into topic-based segments.")
-```
-
-### FixedLengthWordChunking
-
-`FixedLengthWordChunking` splits a given text into chunks of fixed length, based on the number of words.
-
-**Constructor Parameters:**
-- `chunk_size` (int, optional): The number of words in each chunk. Default is `100`.
-
-**Example usage:**
-```python
-chunker = FixedLengthWordChunking(chunk_size=100)
-chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into fixed-length word chunks.")
-```
-
-### SlidingWindowChunking
-
-`SlidingWindowChunking` uses a sliding window approach to chunk a given text. Each chunk has a fixed length, and the window slides by a specified step size.
-
-**Constructor Parameters:**
-- `window_size` (int, optional): The number of words in each chunk. Default is `100`.
-- `step` (int, optional): The number of words to slide the window. Default is `50`.
-
-**Example usage:**
-```python
-chunker = SlidingWindowChunking(window_size=100, step=50)
-chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split using a sliding window approach.")
-```
-
-## Extraction Strategies 🧠
-
-### NoExtractionStrategy
-
-`NoExtractionStrategy` is a basic extraction strategy that returns the entire HTML content without any modification. It is useful for cases where no specific extraction is required.
-
-**Constructor Parameters:**
-None.
-
-**Example usage:**
-```python
-extractor = NoExtractionStrategy()
-extracted_content = extractor.extract(url, html)
-```
-
-### LLMExtractionStrategy
-
-`LLMExtractionStrategy` uses a Language Model (LLM) to extract meaningful blocks or chunks from the given HTML content. This strategy leverages an external provider for language model completions.
-
-**Constructor Parameters:**
-- `provider` (str, optional): The provider to use for the language model completions. Default is `DEFAULT_PROVIDER` (e.g., openai/gpt-4).
-- `api_token` (str, optional): The API token for the provider. If not provided, it will try to load from the environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
-- `instruction` (str, optional): An instruction to guide the LLM on how to perform the extraction. This allows users to specify the type of data they are interested in or set the tone of the response. Default is `None`.
-
-**Example usage:**
-```python
-extractor = LLMExtractionStrategy(provider='openai', api_token='your_api_token', instruction='Extract only news about AI.')
-extracted_content = extractor.extract(url, html)
-```
-
-### CosineStrategy
-
-`CosineStrategy` uses hierarchical clustering based on cosine similarity to extract clusters of text from the given HTML content. This strategy is suitable for identifying related content sections.
-
-**Constructor Parameters:**
-- `semantic_filter` (str, optional): A string containing keywords for filtering relevant documents before clustering. If provided, documents are filtered based on their cosine similarity to the keyword filter embedding. Default is `None`.
-- `word_count_threshold` (int, optional): Minimum number of words per cluster. Default is `20`.
-- `max_dist` (float, optional): The maximum cophenetic distance on the dendrogram to form clusters. Default is `0.2`.
-- `linkage_method` (str, optional): The linkage method for hierarchical clustering. Default is `'ward'`.
-- `top_k` (int, optional): Number of top categories to extract. Default is `3`.
-- `model_name` (str, optional): The model name for embedding generation. Default is `'BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5'`.
-
-**Example usage:**
-```python
-extractor = CosineStrategy(semantic_filter='finance rental prices', word_count_threshold=10, max_dist=0.2, linkage_method='ward', top_k=3, model_name='BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5')
-extracted_content = extractor.extract(url, html)
-```
-
-### TopicExtractionStrategy
-
-`TopicExtractionStrategy` uses the TextTiling algorithm to segment the HTML content into topics and extracts keywords for each segment. This strategy is useful for identifying and summarizing thematic content.
-
-**Constructor Parameters:**
-- `num_keywords` (int, optional): Number of keywords to represent each topic segment. Default is `3`.
-
-**Example usage:**
-```python
-extractor = TopicExtractionStrategy(num_keywords=3)
-extracted_content = extractor.extract(url, html)

+# Core Classes and Functions
+
+## Overview
+
+In this section, we will delve into the core classes and functions that make up the Crawl4AI library. This includes the `WebCrawler` class, various `CrawlerStrategy` classes, `ChunkingStrategy` classes, and `ExtractionStrategy` classes. Understanding these core components will help you leverage the full power of Crawl4AI for your web crawling and data extraction needs.
+
+## WebCrawler Class
+
+The `WebCrawler` class is the main class you'll interact with. It provides the interface for crawling web pages and extracting data.
+
+### Initialization
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+# Create an instance of WebCrawler
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+```
+
+### Methods
+
+- **`warmup()`**: Prepares the crawler for use, such as loading necessary models.
+- **`run(url: str, **kwargs)`**: Runs the crawler on the specified URL with optional parameters for customization.
+
+```python
+crawler.warmup()
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business")
+print(result)
+```
+
+## CrawlerStrategy Classes
+
+The `CrawlerStrategy` classes define how the web crawling is executed. The base class is `CrawlerStrategy`, which is extended by specific implementations like `LocalSeleniumCrawlerStrategy`.
+
+### CrawlerStrategy Base Class
+
+An abstract base class that defines the interface for different crawler strategies.
+
+```python
+from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
+
+class CrawlerStrategy(ABC):
+    @abstractmethod
+    def crawl(self, url: str, **kwargs) -> str:
+        pass
+    
+    @abstractmethod
+    def take_screenshot(self, save_path: str):
+        pass
+    
+    @abstractmethod
+    def update_user_agent(self, user_agent: str):
+        pass
+    
+    @abstractmethod
+    def set_hook(self, hook_type: str, hook: Callable):
+        pass
+```
+
+### LocalSeleniumCrawlerStrategy Class
+
+A concrete implementation of `CrawlerStrategy` that uses Selenium to crawl web pages.
+
+#### Initialization
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.crawler_strategy import LocalSeleniumCrawlerStrategy
+
+strategy = LocalSeleniumCrawlerStrategy(js_code=["console.log('Hello, world!');"])
+```
+
+#### Methods
+
+- **`crawl(url: str, **kwargs)`**: Crawls the specified URL.
+- **`take_screenshot(save_path: str)`**: Takes a screenshot of the current page.
+- **`update_user_agent(user_agent: str)`**: Updates the user agent for the browser.
+- **`set_hook(hook_type: str, hook: Callable)`**: Sets a hook for various events.
+
+```python
+result = strategy.crawl("https://www.example.com")
+strategy.take_screenshot("screenshot.png")
+strategy.update_user_agent("Mozilla/5.0")
+strategy.set_hook("before_get_url", lambda: print("About to get URL"))
+```
+
+## ChunkingStrategy Classes
+
+The `ChunkingStrategy` classes define how the text from a web page is divided into chunks. Here are a few examples:
+
+### RegexChunking Class
+
+Splits text using regular expressions.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import RegexChunking
+
+chunker = RegexChunking(patterns=[r'\n\n'])
+chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into chunks.")
+```
+
+### NlpSentenceChunking Class
+
+Uses NLP to split text into sentences.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import NlpSentenceChunking
+
+chunker = NlpSentenceChunking()
+chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into sentences.")
+```
+
+## ExtractionStrategy Classes
+
+The `ExtractionStrategy` classes define how meaningful content is extracted from the chunks. Here are a few examples:
+
+### CosineStrategy Class
+
+Clusters text chunks based on cosine similarity.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import CosineStrategy
+
+extractor = CosineStrategy(semantic_filter="finance", word_count_threshold=10)
+extracted_content = extractor.extract(url="https://www.example.com", html="<html>...</html>")
+```
+
+### LLMExtractionStrategy Class
+
+Uses a Language Model to extract meaningful blocks from HTML.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import LLMExtractionStrategy
+
+extractor = LLMExtractionStrategy(provider='openai', api_token='your_api_token', instruction='Extract only news about AI.')
+extracted_content = extractor.extract(url="https://www.example.com", html="<html>...</html>")
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+By understanding these core classes and functions, you can customize and extend Crawl4AI to suit your specific web crawling and data extraction needs. Happy crawling! 🕷️🤖

+# Hooks & Auth
+
+Crawl4AI allows you to customize the behavior of the web crawler using hooks. Hooks are functions that are called at specific points in the crawling process, allowing you to modify the crawler's behavior or perform additional actions. This example demonstrates how to use various hooks to customize the crawling process.
+
+## Example: Using Crawler Hooks
+
+Let's see how we can customize the crawler using hooks! In this example, we'll:
+
+1. Maximize the browser window and log in to a website when the driver is created.
+2. Add a custom header before fetching the URL.
+3. Log the current URL after fetching it.
+4. Log the length of the HTML before returning it.
+
+### Hook Definitions
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.web_crawler import WebCrawler
+from crawl4ai.crawler_strategy import *
+
+def on_driver_created(driver):
+    print("[HOOK] on_driver_created")
+    # Example customization: maximize the window
+    driver.maximize_window()
+    
+    # Example customization: logging in to a hypothetical website
+    driver.get('https://example.com/login')
+    
+    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
+    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
+    from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
+    
+    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
+        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, 'username'))
+    )
+    driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'username').send_keys('testuser')
+    driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'password').send_keys('password123')
+    driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'login').click()
+    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
+        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'welcome'))
+    )
+    # Add a custom cookie
+    driver.add_cookie({'name': 'test_cookie', 'value': 'cookie_value'})
+    return driver        
+    
+
+def before_get_url(driver):
+    print("[HOOK] before_get_url")
+    # Example customization: add a custom header
+    # Enable Network domain for sending headers
+    driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Network.enable', {})
+    # Add a custom header
+    driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Network.setExtraHTTPHeaders', {'headers': {'X-Test-Header': 'test'}})
+    return driver
+
+def after_get_url(driver):
+    print("[HOOK] after_get_url")
+    # Example customization: log the URL
+    print(driver.current_url)
+    return driver
+
+def before_return_html(driver, html):
+    print("[HOOK] before_return_html")
+    # Example customization: log the HTML
+    print(len(html))
+    return driver
+```
+
+### Using the Hooks with the WebCrawler
+
+```python
+print("\n🔗 [bold cyan]Using Crawler Hooks: Let's see how we can customize the crawler using hooks![/bold cyan]", True)
+crawler_strategy = LocalSeleniumCrawlerStrategy(verbose=True)
+crawler_strategy.set_hook('on_driver_created', on_driver_created)
+crawler_strategy.set_hook('before_get_url', before_get_url)
+crawler_strategy.set_hook('after_get_url', after_get_url)
+crawler_strategy.set_hook('before_return_html', before_return_html)
+crawler = WebCrawler(verbose=True, crawler_strategy=crawler_strategy)
+crawler.warmup()
+
+result = crawler.run(url="https://example.com")
+
+print("[LOG] 📦 [bold yellow]Crawler Hooks result:[/bold yellow]")
+print(result)
+```
+
+### Explanation
+
+- `on_driver_created`: This hook is called when the Selenium driver is created. In this example, it maximizes the window, logs in to a website, and adds a custom cookie.
+- `before_get_url`: This hook is called right before Selenium fetches the URL. In this example, it adds a custom HTTP header.
+- `after_get_url`: This hook is called after Selenium fetches the URL. In this example, it logs the current URL.
+- `before_return_html`: This hook is called before returning the HTML content. In this example, it logs the length of the HTML content.
+
+### Additional Ideas
+
+- **Add custom headers to requests**: You can add custom headers to the requests using the `before_get_url` hook.
+- **Perform safety checks**: Use the hooks to perform safety checks before the crawling process starts.
+- **Modify the HTML content**: Use the `before_return_html` hook to modify the HTML content before it is returned.
+- **Log additional information**: Use the hooks to log additional information for debugging or monitoring purposes.
+
+By using these hooks, you can customize the behavior of the crawler to suit your specific needs.

+# JS Execution & CSS Filtering
+
+In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use Crawl4AI to execute JavaScript, filter data with CSS selectors, and use a cosine similarity strategy to extract relevant content. This approach is particularly useful when you need to interact with dynamic content on web pages, such as clicking "Load More" buttons.
+
+## Example: Extracting Structured Data
+
+```python
+# Import necessary modules
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import *
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import *
+from crawl4ai.crawler_strategy import *
+
+# Define the JavaScript code to click the "Load More" button
+js_code = ["""
+const loadMoreButton = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('button')).find(button => button.textContent.includes('Load More'));
+loadMoreButton && loadMoreButton.click();
+"""]
+
+crawler = WebCrawler(verbose=True)
+crawler.warmup()
+# Run the crawler with keyword filtering and CSS selector
+result = crawler.run(
+    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+    js=js_code,
+    css_selector="p",
+    extraction_strategy=CosineStrategy(
+        semantic_filter="technology",
+    ),
+)
+
+# Display the extracted result
+print(result)
+```
+
+### Explanation
+
+1. **JavaScript Execution**: The `js_code` variable contains JavaScript code that simulates clicking a "Load More" button. This is useful for loading additional content dynamically.
+2. **CSS Selector**: The `css_selector="p"` parameter ensures that only paragraph (`<p>`) tags are extracted from the web page.
+3. **Extraction Strategy**: The `CosineStrategy` is used with a semantic filter for "technology" to extract relevant content based on cosine similarity.
+
+## Try It Yourself
+
+This example demonstrates the power and flexibility of Crawl4AI in handling complex web interactions and extracting meaningful data. You can customize the JavaScript code, CSS selectors, and extraction strategies to suit your specific requirements.

+# LLM Extraction
+
+Crawl4AI allows you to use Language Models (LLMs) to extract structured data or relevant content from web pages. Below are two examples demonstrating how to use LLMExtractionStrategy for different purposes.
+
+## Example 1: Extract Structured Data
+
+In this example, we use the `LLMExtractionStrategy` to extract structured data (model names and their fees) from the OpenAI pricing page.
+
+```python
+import os
+import time
+from crawl4ai.web_crawler import WebCrawler
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import *
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import *
+from crawl4ai.crawler_strategy import *
+
+url = r'https://openai.com/api/pricing/'
+
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
+
+class OpenAIModelFee(BaseModel):
+    model_name: str = Field(..., description="Name of the OpenAI model.")
+    input_fee: str = Field(..., description="Fee for input token for the OpenAI model.")
+    output_fee: str = Field(..., description="Fee for output token for the OpenAI model.")
+
+result = crawler.run(
+    url=url,
+    word_count_threshold=1,
+    extraction_strategy= LLMExtractionStrategy(
+        provider= "openai/gpt-4o", api_token = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'), 
+        schema=OpenAIModelFee.model_json_schema(),
+        extraction_type="schema",
+        instruction="From the crawled content, extract all mentioned model names along with their "\
+            "fees for input and output tokens. Make sure not to miss anything in the entire content. "\
+            'One extracted model JSON format should look like this: '\
+            '{ "model_name": "GPT-4", "input_fee": "US$10.00 / 1M tokens", "output_fee": "US$30.00 / 1M tokens" }'
+    ),
+    bypass_cache=True,
+)
+
+model_fees = json.loads(result.extracted_content)
+
+print(len(model_fees))
+
+with open(".data/data.json", "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
+    f.write(result.extracted_content)
+```
+
+## Example 2: Extract Relevant Content
+
+In this example, we instruct the LLM to extract only content related to technology from the NBC News business page.
+
+```python
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+result = crawler.run(
+        url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+        extraction_strategy=LLMExtractionStrategy(
+            provider="openai/gpt-4o",
+            api_token=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
+            instruction="Extract only content related to technology"
+        ),
+    bypass_cache=True,
+    )
+
+model_fees = json.loads(result.extracted_content)
+
+print(len(model_fees))
+
+with open(".data/data.json", "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
+    f.write(result.extracted_content)
+```
+
+## Customizing LLM Provider
+
+Under the hood, Crawl4AI uses the `litellm` library, which allows you to use any LLM provider you want. Just pass the correct model name and API token.
+
+```python
+extraction_strategy=LLMExtractionStrategy(
+    provider="your_llm_provider/model_name",
+    api_token="your_api_token",
+    instruction="Your extraction instruction"
+)
+```
+
+This flexibility allows you to integrate with various LLM providers and tailor the extraction process to your specific needs.

+## Research Assistant Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to build a research assistant using `Chainlit` and `Crawl4AI`. The assistant will be capable of crawling web pages for information and answering questions based on the crawled content. Additionally, it integrates speech-to-text functionality for audio inputs.
+
+### Step-by-Step Guide
+
+1. **Install Required Packages**
+
+    Ensure you have the necessary packages installed. You need `chainlit`, `groq`, `requests`, and `openai`.
+
+    ```bash
+    pip install chainlit groq requests openai
+    ```
+
+2. **Import Libraries**
+
+    Import all the necessary modules and initialize the OpenAI client.
+
+    ```python
+    import os
+    import time
+    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
+    import chainlit as cl
+    import re
+    import requests
+    from io import BytesIO
+    from chainlit.element import ElementBased
+    from groq import Groq
+
+    from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
+
+    client = AsyncOpenAI(base_url="https://api.groq.com/openai/v1", api_key=os.getenv("GROQ_API_KEY"))
+
+    # Instrument the OpenAI client
+    cl.instrument_openai()
+    ```
+
+3. **Set Configuration**
+
+    Define the model settings for the assistant.
+
+    ```python
+    settings = {
+        "model": "llama3-8b-8192",
+        "temperature": 0.5,
+        "max_tokens": 500,
+        "top_p": 1,
+        "frequency_penalty": 0,
+        "presence_penalty": 0,
+    }
+    ```
+
+4. **Define Utility Functions**
+
+    - **Extract URLs from Text**: Use regex to find URLs in messages.
+
+        ```python
+        def extract_urls(text):
+            url_pattern = re.compile(r'(https?://\S+)')
+            return url_pattern.findall(text)
+        ```
+
+    - **Crawl URL**: Send a request to `Crawl4AI` to fetch the content of a URL.
+
+        ```python
+        def crawl_url(url):
+            data = {
+                "urls": [url],
+                "include_raw_html": True,
+                "word_count_threshold": 10,
+                "extraction_strategy": "NoExtractionStrategy",
+                "chunking_strategy": "RegexChunking"
+            }
+            response = requests.post("https://crawl4ai.com/crawl", json=data)
+            response_data = response.json()
+            response_data = response_data['results'][0]
+            return response_data['markdown']
+        ```
+
+5. **Initialize Chat Start Event**
+
+    Set up the initial chat message and user session.
+
+    ```python
+    @cl.on_chat_start
+    async def on_chat_start():
+        cl.user_session.set("session", {
+            "history": [],
+            "context": {}
+        })  
+        await cl.Message(
+            content="Welcome to the chat! How can I assist you today?"
+        ).send()
+    ```
+
+6. **Handle Incoming Messages**
+
+    Process user messages, extract URLs, and crawl them concurrently. Update the chat history and system message.
+
+    ```python
+    @cl.on_message
+    async def on_message(message: cl.Message):
+        user_session = cl.user_session.get("session")
+
+        # Extract URLs from the user's message
+        urls = extract_urls(message.content)
+
+        futures = []
+        with ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
+            for url in urls:
+                futures.append(executor.submit(crawl_url, url))
+
+        results = [future.result() for future in futures]
+
+        for url, result in zip(urls, results):
+            ref_number = f"REF_{len(user_session['context']) + 1}"
+            user_session["context"][ref_number] = {
+                "url": url,
+                "content": result
+            }    
+
+        user_session["history"].append({
+            "role": "user",
+            "content": message.content
+        })
+
+        # Create a system message that includes the context
+        context_messages = [
+            f'<appendix ref="{ref}">\n{data["content"]}\n</appendix>'
+            for ref, data in user_session["context"].items()
+        ]
+        if context_messages:
+            system_message = {
+                "role": "system",
+                "content": (
+                    "You are a helpful bot. Use the following context for answering questions. "
+                    "Refer to the sources using the REF number in square brackets, e.g., [1], only if the source is given in the appendices below.\n\n"
+                    "If the question requires any information from the provided appendices or context, refer to the sources. "
+                    "If not, there is no need to add a references section. "
+                    "At the end of your response, provide a reference section listing the URLs and their REF numbers only if sources from the appendices were used.\n\n"
+                    "\n\n".join(context_messages)

+## Summarization Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to use `Crawl4AI` to extract a summary from a web page. The goal is to obtain the title, a detailed summary, a brief summary, and a list of keywords from the given page.
+
+### Step-by-Step Guide
+
+1. **Import Necessary Modules**
+
+    First, import the necessary modules and classes.
+
+    ```python
+    import os
+    import time
+    import json
+    from crawl4ai.web_crawler import WebCrawler
+    from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import *
+    from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import *
+    from crawl4ai.crawler_strategy import *
+    from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
+    ```
+
+2. **Define the URL to be Crawled**
+
+    Set the URL of the web page you want to summarize.
+
+    ```python
+    url = r'https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Unclecode.groqopilot'
+    ```
+
+3. **Initialize the WebCrawler**
+
+    Create an instance of the `WebCrawler` and call the `warmup` method.
+
+    ```python
+    crawler = WebCrawler()
+    crawler.warmup()
+    ```
+
+4. **Define the Data Model**
+
+    Use Pydantic to define the structure of the extracted data.
+
+    ```python
+    class PageSummary(BaseModel):
+        title: str = Field(..., description="Title of the page.")
+        summary: str = Field(..., description="Summary of the page.")
+        brief_summary: str = Field(..., description="Brief summary of the page.")
+        keywords: list = Field(..., description="Keywords assigned to the page.")
+    ```
+
+5. **Run the Crawler**
+
+    Set up and run the crawler with the `LLMExtractionStrategy`. Provide the necessary parameters, including the schema for the extracted data and the instruction for the LLM.
+
+    ```python
+    result = crawler.run(
+        url=url,
+        word_count_threshold=1,
+        extraction_strategy=LLMExtractionStrategy(
+            provider="openai/gpt-4o", 
+            api_token=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'), 
+            schema=PageSummary.model_json_schema(),
+            extraction_type="schema",
+            apply_chunking=False,
+            instruction=(
+                "From the crawled content, extract the following details: "
+                "1. Title of the page "
+                "2. Summary of the page, which is a detailed summary "
+                "3. Brief summary of the page, which is a paragraph text "
+                "4. Keywords assigned to the page, which is a list of keywords. "
+                'The extracted JSON format should look like this: '
+                '{ "title": "Page Title", "summary": "Detailed summary of the page.", '
+                '"brief_summary": "Brief summary in a paragraph.", "keywords": ["keyword1", "keyword2", "keyword3"] }'
+            )
+        ),
+        bypass_cache=True,
+    )
+    ```
+
+6. **Process the Extracted Data**
+
+    Load the extracted content into a JSON object and print it.
+
+    ```python
+    page_summary = json.loads(result.extracted_content)
+    print(page_summary)
+    ```
+
+7. **Save the Extracted Data**
+
+    Save the extracted data to a file for further use.
+
+    ```python
+    with open(".data/page_summary.json", "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
+        f.write(result.extracted_content)
+    ```

+# Advanced Features
+
+Crawl4AI offers a range of advanced features that allow you to fine-tune your web crawling and data extraction process. This section will cover some of these advanced features, including taking screenshots, extracting media and links, customizing the user agent, using custom hooks, and leveraging CSS selectors.
+
+## Taking Screenshots 📸
+
+One of the cool features of Crawl4AI is the ability to take screenshots of the web pages you're crawling. This can be particularly useful for visual verification or for capturing the state of dynamic content.
+
+Here's how you can take a screenshot:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+import base64
+
+# Create the WebCrawler instance
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+# Run the crawler with the screenshot parameter
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", screenshot=True)
+
+# Save the screenshot to a file
+with open("screenshot.png", "wb") as f:
+    f.write(base64.b64decode(result.screenshot))
+
+print("Screenshot saved to 'screenshot.png'!")
+```
+
+In this example, we create a `WebCrawler` instance, warm it up, and then run it with the `screenshot` parameter set to `True`. The screenshot is saved as a base64 encoded string in the result, which we then decode and save as a PNG file.
+
+## Extracting Media and Links 🎨🔗
+
+Crawl4AI can extract all media tags (images, audio, and video) and links (both internal and external) from a web page. This feature is useful for collecting multimedia content or analyzing link structures.
+
+Here's an example:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+# Create the WebCrawler instance
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+# Run the crawler
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business")
+
+print("Extracted media:", result.media)
+print("Extracted links:", result.links)
+```
+
+In this example, the `result` object contains dictionaries for media and links, which you can access and use as needed.
+
+## Customizing the User Agent 🕵️‍♂️
+
+Crawl4AI allows you to set a custom user agent for your HTTP requests. This can help you avoid detection by web servers or simulate different browsing environments.
+
+Here's how to set a custom user agent:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+# Create the WebCrawler instance
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+# Run the crawler with a custom user agent
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", user_agent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MyCrawler/1.0)")
+
+print("Crawl result:", result)
+```
+
+In this example, we specify a custom user agent string when running the crawler.
+
+## Using Custom Hooks 🪝
+
+Hooks are a powerful feature in Crawl4AI that allow you to customize the crawling process at various stages. You can define hooks for actions such as driver initialization, before and after URL fetching, and before returning the HTML.
+
+Here's an example of using hooks:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
+from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
+from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
+
+# Define the hooks
+def on_driver_created(driver):
+    driver.maximize_window()
+    driver.get('https://example.com/login')
+    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, 'username'))).send_keys('testuser')
+    driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'password').send_keys('password123')
+    driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'login').click()
+    return driver
+
+def before_get_url(driver):
+    driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Network.setExtraHTTPHeaders', {'headers': {'X-Test-Header': 'test'}})
+    return driver
+
+# Create the WebCrawler instance
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+# Set the hooks
+crawler.set_hook('on_driver_created', on_driver_created)
+crawler.set_hook('before_get_url', before_get_url)
+
+# Run the crawler
+result = crawler.run(url="https://example.com")
+
+print("Crawl result:", result)
+```
+
+In this example, we define hooks to handle driver initialization and custom headers before fetching the URL.
+
+## Using CSS Selectors 🎯
+
+CSS selectors allow you to target specific elements on a web page for extraction. This can be useful for scraping structured content, such as articles or product details.
+
+Here's an example of using a CSS selector:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+# Create the WebCrawler instance
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+# Run the crawler with a CSS selector to extract only H2 tags
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", css_selector="h2")
+
+print("Extracted H2 tags:", result.extracted_content)
+```
+
+In this example, we use the `css_selector` parameter to extract only the H2 tags from the web page.
+
+---
+
+With these advanced features, you can leverage Crawl4AI to perform sophisticated web crawling and data extraction tasks. Whether you need to take screenshots, extract specific elements, customize the crawling process, or set custom headers, Crawl4AI provides the flexibility and power to meet your needs. Happy crawling! 🕷️🚀

+## Chunking Strategies 📚
+
+Crawl4AI provides several powerful chunking strategies to divide text into manageable parts for further processing. Each strategy has unique characteristics and is suitable for different scenarios. Let's explore them one by one.
+
+### RegexChunking
+
+`RegexChunking` splits text using regular expressions. This is ideal for creating chunks based on specific patterns like paragraphs or sentences.
+
+#### When to Use
+- Great for structured text with consistent delimiters.
+- Suitable for documents where specific patterns (e.g., double newlines, periods) indicate logical chunks.
+
+#### Parameters
+- `patterns` (list, optional): Regular expressions used to split the text. Default is to split by double newlines (`['\n\n']`).
+
+#### Example
+```python
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import RegexChunking
+
+# Define patterns for splitting text
+patterns = [r'\n\n', r'\. ']
+chunker = RegexChunking(patterns=patterns)
+
+# Sample text
+text = "This is a sample text. It will be split into chunks.\n\nThis is another paragraph."
+
+# Chunk the text
+chunks = chunker.chunk(text)
+print(chunks)
+```
+
+### NlpSentenceChunking
+
+`NlpSentenceChunking` uses NLP models to split text into sentences, ensuring accurate sentence boundaries.
+
+#### When to Use
+- Ideal for texts where sentence boundaries are crucial.
+- Useful for creating chunks that preserve grammatical structures.
+
+#### Parameters
+- None.
+
+#### Example
+```python
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import NlpSentenceChunking
+
+chunker = NlpSentenceChunking()
+
+# Sample text
+text = "This is a sample text. It will be split into sentences. Here's another sentence."
+
+# Chunk the text
+chunks = chunker.chunk(text)
+print(chunks)
+```
+
+### TopicSegmentationChunking
+
+`TopicSegmentationChunking` employs the TextTiling algorithm to segment text into topic-based chunks. This method identifies thematic boundaries.
+
+#### When to Use
+- Perfect for long documents with distinct topics.
+- Useful when preserving topic continuity is more important than maintaining text order.
+
+#### Parameters
+- `num_keywords` (int, optional): Number of keywords for each topic segment. Default is `3`.
+
+#### Example
+```python
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import TopicSegmentationChunking
+
+chunker = TopicSegmentationChunking(num_keywords=3)
+
+# Sample text
+text = "This document contains several topics. Topic one discusses AI. Topic two covers machine learning."
+
+# Chunk the text
+chunks = chunker.chunk(text)
+print(chunks)
+```
+
+### FixedLengthWordChunking
+
+`FixedLengthWordChunking` splits text into chunks based on a fixed number of words. This ensures each chunk has approximately the same length.
+
+#### When to Use
+- Suitable for processing large texts where uniform chunk size is important.
+- Useful when the number of words per chunk needs to be controlled.
+
+#### Parameters
+- `chunk_size` (int, optional): Number of words per chunk. Default is `100`.
+
+#### Example
+```python
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import FixedLengthWordChunking
+
+chunker = FixedLengthWordChunking(chunk_size=10)
+
+# Sample text
+text = "This is a sample text. It will be split into chunks of fixed length."
+
+# Chunk the text
+chunks = chunker.chunk(text)
+print(chunks)
+```
+
+### SlidingWindowChunking
+
+`SlidingWindowChunking` uses a sliding window approach to create overlapping chunks. Each chunk has a fixed length, and the window slides by a specified step size.
+
+#### When to Use
+- Ideal for creating overlapping chunks to preserve context.
+- Useful for tasks where context from adjacent chunks is needed.
+
+#### Parameters
+- `window_size` (int, optional): Number of words in each chunk. Default is `100`.
+- `step` (int, optional): Number of words to slide the window. Default is `50`.
+
+#### Example
+```python
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import SlidingWindowChunking
+
+chunker = SlidingWindowChunking(window_size=10, step=5)
+
+# Sample text
+text = "This is a sample text. It will be split using a sliding window approach to preserve context."
+
+# Chunk the text
+chunks = chunker.chunk(text)
+print(chunks)
+```
+
+With these chunking strategies, you can choose the best method to divide your text based on your specific needs. Whether you need precise sentence boundaries, topic-based segmentation, or uniform chunk sizes, Crawl4AI has you covered. Happy chunking! 📝✨

+A dictionary containing lists of extracted media elements from the web page. The media elements are categorized into images, videos, and audios. Here’s how they are structured:
+
+- **Images**: Each image is represented as a dictionary with `src` (source URL) and `alt` (alternate text).
+- **Videos**: Each video is represented similarly with `src` and `alt`.
+- **Audios**: Each audio is represented with `src` and `alt`.
+
+```python
+media = {
+    'images': [
+        {'src': 'image_url1', 'alt': 'description1', "type": "image"},
+        {'src': 'image_url2', 'alt': 'description2', "type": "image"}
+    ],
+    'videos': [
+        {'src': 'video_url1', 'alt': 'description1', "type": "video"}
+    ],
+    'audios': [
+        {'src': 'audio_url1', 'alt': 'description1', "type": "audio"}
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### `links: Dict[str, List[Dict]]`
+A dictionary containing lists of internal and external links extracted from the web page. Each link is represented as a dictionary with `href` (URL) and `text` (link text).
+
+- **Internal Links**: Links pointing to the same domain.
+- **External Links**: Links pointing to different domains.
+
+```python
+links = {
+    'internal': [
+        {'href': 'internal_link1', 'text': 'link_text1'},
+        {'href': 'internal_link2', 'text': 'link_text2'}
+    ],
+    'external': [
+        {'href': 'external_link1', 'text': 'link_text1'}
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### `screenshot: Optional[str]`
+A base64-encoded screenshot of the web page. This field stores the screenshot data if the crawling was configured to take a screenshot.
+
+### `markdown: Optional[str]`
+The content of the web page converted to Markdown format. This is useful for generating clean, readable text that retains the structure of the original HTML.
+
+### `extracted_content: Optional[str]`
+The content extracted based on the specified extraction strategy. This field holds the meaningful content blocks extracted from the web page, ready for your AI and data processing needs.
+
+### `metadata: Optional[dict]`
+A dictionary containing metadata extracted from the web page, such as title, description, keywords, and other meta tags.
+
+### `error_message: Optional[str]`
+If an error occurs during crawling, this field will contain the error message, helping you debug and understand what went wrong. 🚨
+
+## Example Usage
+
+Here's a quick example to illustrate how you might use the `CrawlResult` in your code:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+# Create the WebCrawler instance
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+
+# Run the crawler on a URL
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.example.com")
+
+# Check if the crawl was successful
+if result.success:
+    print("Crawl succeeded!")
+    print("URL:", result.url)
+    print("HTML:", result.html[:100])  # Print the first 100 characters of the HTML
+    print("Cleaned HTML:", result.cleaned_html[:100])
+    print("Media:", result.media)
+    print("Links:", result.links)
+    print("Screenshot:", result.screenshot)
+    print("Markdown:", result.markdown[:100])
+    print("Extracted Content:", result.extracted_content)
+    print("Metadata:", result.metadata)
+else:
+    print("Crawl failed with error:", result.error_message)
+```
+
+With this setup, you can easily access all the valuable data extracted from the web page and integrate it into your applications. Happy crawling! 🕷️🤖

+## Extraction Strategies 🧠
+
+Crawl4AI offers powerful extraction strategies to derive meaningful information from web content. Let's dive into two of the most important strategies: `CosineStrategy` and `LLMExtractionStrategy`.
+
+### CosineStrategy
+
+`CosineStrategy` uses hierarchical clustering based on cosine similarity to group text chunks into meaningful clusters. This method converts each chunk into its embedding and then clusters them to form semantical chunks.
+
+#### When to Use
+- Ideal for fast, accurate semantic segmentation of text.
+- Perfect for scenarios where LLMs might be overkill or too slow.
+- Suitable for narrowing down content based on specific queries or keywords.
+
+#### Parameters
+- `semantic_filter` (str, optional): Keywords for filtering relevant documents before clustering. Documents are filtered based on their cosine similarity to the keyword filter embedding. Default is `None`.
+- `word_count_threshold` (int, optional): Minimum number of words per cluster. Default is `20`.
+- `max_dist` (float, optional): Maximum cophenetic distance on the dendrogram to form clusters. Default is `0.2`.
+- `linkage_method` (str, optional): Linkage method for hierarchical clustering. Default is `'ward'`.
+- `top_k` (int, optional): Number of top categories to extract. Default is `3`.
+- `model_name` (str, optional): Model name for embedding generation. Default is `'BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5'`.
+
+#### Example
+```python
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import CosineStrategy
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+# Define extraction strategy
+strategy = CosineStrategy(
+    semantic_filter="finance economy stock market",
+    word_count_threshold=10,
+    max_dist=0.2,
+    linkage_method='ward',
+    top_k=3,
+    model_name='BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5'
+)
+
+# Sample URL
+url = "https://www.nbcnews.com/business"
+
+# Run the crawler with the extraction strategy
+result = crawler.run(url=url, extraction_strategy=strategy)
+print(result.extracted_content)
+```
+
+### LLMExtractionStrategy
+
+`LLMExtractionStrategy` leverages a Language Model (LLM) to extract meaningful content from HTML. This strategy uses an external provider for LLM completions to perform extraction based on instructions.
+
+#### When to Use
+- Suitable for complex extraction tasks requiring nuanced understanding.
+- Ideal for scenarios where detailed instructions can guide the extraction process.
+- Perfect for extracting specific types of information or content with precise guidelines.
+
+#### Parameters
+- `provider` (str, optional): Provider for language model completions (e.g., openai/gpt-4). Default is `DEFAULT_PROVIDER`.
+- `api_token` (str, optional): API token for the provider. If not provided, it will try to load from the environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
+- `instruction` (str, optional): Instructions to guide the LLM on how to perform the extraction. Default is `None`.
+
+#### Example Without Instructions
+```python
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import LLMExtractionStrategy
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+# Define extraction strategy without instructions
+strategy = LLMExtractionStrategy(
+    provider='openai',
+    api_token='your_api_token'
+)
+
+# Sample URL
+url = "https://www.nbcnews.com/business"
+
+# Run the crawler with the extraction strategy
+result = crawler.run(url=url, extraction_strategy=strategy)
+print(result.extracted_content)
+```
+
+#### Example With Instructions
+```python
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import LLMExtractionStrategy
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+crawler = WebCrawler()
+crawler.warmup()
+
+# Define extraction strategy with instructions
+strategy = LLMExtractionStrategy(
+    provider='openai',
+    api_token='your_api_token',
+    instruction="Extract only financial news and summarize key points."
+)
+
+# Sample URL
+url = "https://www.nbcnews.com/business"
+
+# Run the crawler with the extraction strategy
+result = crawler.run(url=url, extraction_strategy=strategy)
+print(result.extracted_content)
+```
+
+#### Use Cases for LLMExtractionStrategy
+- Extracting specific data types from structured or semi-structured content.
+- Generating summaries, extracting key information, or transforming content into different formats.
+- Performing detailed extractions based on custom instructions.
+
+For more detailed examples, please refer to the [Examples section](../examples/index.md) of the documentation.
+
+---
+
+By choosing the right extraction strategy, you can effectively extract the most relevant and useful information from web content. Whether you need fast, accurate semantic segmentation with `CosineStrategy` or nuanced, instruction-based extraction with `LLMExtractionStrategy`, Crawl4AI has you covered. Happy extracting! 🕵️‍♂️✨

+# Installation 💻
+
+There are three ways to use Crawl4AI:
+
+1. As a library (Recommended).
+2. As a local server (Docker) or using the REST API.
+3. As a local server (Docker) using the pre-built image from Docker Hub.
+
+## Option 1: Library Installation
+
+You can try this Colab for a quick start: [![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1sJPAmeLj5PMrg2VgOwMJ2ubGIcK0cJeX#scrollTo=g1RrmI4W_rPk)
+
+Crawl4AI offers flexible installation options to suit various use cases. Choose the option that best fits your needs:
+
+- **Default Installation** (Basic functionality):
+```bash
+virtualenv venv

+```
+Use this for basic web crawling and scraping tasks.
+
+- **Installation with PyTorch** (For advanced text clustering):
+```bash
+virtualenv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install "crawl4ai[torch] @ git+https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git"
+```
+Choose this if you need the CosineSimilarity cluster strategy.
+
+- **Installation with Transformers** (For summarization and Hugging Face models):
+```bash
+virtualenv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install "crawl4ai[transformer] @ git+https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git"
+```
+Opt for this if you require text summarization or plan to use Hugging Face models.
+
+- **Full Installation** (All features):
+```bash
+virtualenv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install "crawl4ai[all] @ git+https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git"

+# Quick Start Guide 🚀
+
+Welcome to the Crawl4AI Quickstart Guide! In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the basic usage of Crawl4AI with a friendly and humorous tone. We'll cover everything from basic usage to advanced features like chunking and extraction strategies. Let's dive in! 🌟
+
+## Getting Started 🛠️
+
+First, let's create an instance of `WebCrawler` and call the `warmup()` function. This might take a few seconds the first time you run Crawl4AI, as it loads the required model files.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
+
+def create_crawler():
+    crawler = WebCrawler(verbose=True)
+    crawler.warmup()
+    return crawler
+
+crawler = create_crawler()
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+Simply provide a URL and let Crawl4AI do the magic!
+
+```python
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business")
+print(f"Basic crawl result: {result}")
+```
+
+### Taking Screenshots 📸
+
+Let's take a screenshot of the page!
+
+```python
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", screenshot=True)
+with open("screenshot.png", "wb") as f:
+    f.write(base64.b64decode(result.screenshot))
+print("Screenshot saved to 'screenshot.png'!")
+```
+
+### Understanding Parameters 🧠
+
+By default, Crawl4AI caches the results of your crawls. This means that subsequent crawls of the same URL will be much faster! Let's see this in action.
+
+First crawl (caches the result):
+```python
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business")
+print(f"First crawl result: {result}")
+```
+
+Force to crawl again:
+```python
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", bypass_cache=True)
+print(f"Second crawl result: {result}")
+```
+
+### Adding a Chunking Strategy 🧩
+
+Let's add a chunking strategy: `RegexChunking`! This strategy splits the text based on a given regex pattern.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import RegexChunking
+
+result = crawler.run(
+    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+    chunking_strategy=RegexChunking(patterns=["\n\n"])
+)
+print(f"RegexChunking result: {result}")
+```
+
+You can also use `NlpSentenceChunking` which splits the text into sentences using NLP techniques.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import NlpSentenceChunking
+
+result = crawler.run(
+    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+    chunking_strategy=NlpSentenceChunking()
+)
+print(f"NlpSentenceChunking result: {result}")
+```
+
+### Adding an Extraction Strategy 🧠
+
+Let's get smarter with an extraction strategy: `CosineStrategy`! This strategy uses cosine similarity to extract semantically similar blocks of text.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import CosineStrategy
+
+result = crawler.run(
+    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+    extraction_strategy=CosineStrategy(
+        word_count_threshold=10, 
+        max_dist=0.2, 
+        linkage_method="ward", 
+        top_k=3
+    )
+)
+print(f"CosineStrategy result: {result}")
+```
+
+You can also pass other parameters like `semantic_filter` to extract specific content.
+
+```python
+result = crawler.run(
+    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+    extraction_strategy=CosineStrategy(
+        semantic_filter="inflation rent prices"
+    )
+)
+print(f"CosineStrategy result with semantic filter: {result}")
+```
+
+### Using LLMExtractionStrategy 🤖
+
+Time to bring in the big guns: `LLMExtractionStrategy` without instructions! This strategy uses a large language model to extract relevant information from the web page.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import LLMExtractionStrategy
+import os
+
+result = crawler.run(
+    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+    extraction_strategy=LLMExtractionStrategy(
+        provider="openai/gpt-4o", 
+        api_token=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')
+    )
+)
+print(f"LLMExtractionStrategy (no instructions) result: {result}")
+```
+
+You can also provide specific instructions to guide the extraction.
+
+```python
+result = crawler.run(
+    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+    extraction_strategy=LLMExtractionStrategy(
+        provider="openai/gpt-4o",
+        api_token=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
+        instruction="I am interested in only financial news"
+    )
+)
+print(f"LLMExtractionStrategy (with instructions) result: {result}")
+```
+
+### Targeted Extraction 🎯
+
+Let's use a CSS selector to extract only H2 tags!
+
+```python
+result = crawler.run(
+    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+    css_selector="h2"
+)
+print(f"CSS Selector (H2 tags) result: {result}")
+```
+
+### Interactive Extraction 🖱️
+
+Passing JavaScript code to click the 'Load More' button!
+
+```python
+js_code = """
+const loadMoreButton = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('button')).find(button => button.textContent.includes('Load More'));
+loadMoreButton && loadMoreButton.click();
+"""
+
+result = crawler.run(
+    url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
+    js=js_code
+)
+print(f"JavaScript Code (Load More button) result: {result}")
+```
+
+### Using Crawler Hooks 🔗
+
+Let's see how we can customize the crawler using hooks!
+
+```python
+import time
+
+from crawl4ai.web_crawler import WebCrawler
+from crawl4ai.crawler_strategy import *
+
+def delay(driver):
+    print("Delaying for 5 seconds...")
+    time.sleep(5)
+    print("Resuming...")
+    
+def create_crawler():
+    crawler_strategy = LocalSeleniumCrawlerStrategy(verbose=True)
+    crawler_strategy.set_hook('after_get_url', delay)
+    crawler = WebCrawler(verbose=True, crawler_strategy=crawler_strategy)
+    crawler.warmup()
+    return crawler
+
+crawler = create_crawler()
+result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", bypass_cache=True)
+```
+
+check [Hooks](examples/hooks_auth.md) for more examples.
+
