    refactor: consolidate WebScrapingStrategy to use LXML implementation only

    BREAKING CHANGE: None - full backward compatibility maintained

    This commit simplifies the content scraping architecture by removing the
    redundant BeautifulSoup-based WebScrapingStrategy implementation and making
    it an alias for LXMLWebScrapingStrategy.

    Changes:
    - Remove ~1000 lines of BeautifulSoup-based WebScrapingStrategy code
    - Make WebScrapingStrategy an alias for LXMLWebScrapingStrategy
    - Update LXMLWebScrapingStrategy to inherit directly from ContentScrapingStrategy
    - Add required methods (scrap, ascrap, process_element, _log) to LXMLWebScrapingStrategy
    - Maintain 100% backward compatibility - existing code continues to work

    Code changes:
    - crawl4ai/content_scraping_strategy.py: Remove WebScrapingStrategy class, add alias
    - crawl4ai/async_configs.py: Remove WebScrapingStrategy from imports
    - crawl4ai/__init__.py: Update imports to show alias relationship
    - crawl4ai/types.py: Update type definitions
    - crawl4ai/legacy/web_crawler.py: Update import to use alias
    - tests/async/test_content_scraper_strategy.py: Update to use LXMLWebScrapingStrategy
    - docs/examples/scraping_strategies_performance.py: Update to use single strategy

    Documentation updates:
    - docs/md_v2/core/content-selection.md: Update scraping modes section
    - docs/md_v2/migration/webscraping-strategy-migration.md: Add migration guide
    - CHANGELOG.md: Document the refactoring under [Unreleased]

    Benefits:
    - 10-20x faster HTML parsing for large documents
    - Reduced memory usage and simplified codebase
    - Consistent parsing behavior
    - No migration required for existing users

    All existing code using WebScrapingStrategy continues to work without
    modification, while benefiting from LXML's superior performance.

307fe28b32 fix: Correct URL matcher fallback behavior and improve memory monitoring
Fix critical issue where unmatched URLs incorrectly used the first config instead of failing safely. Also clarify that configs without url_matcher match ALL URLs by design, and improve memory usage monitoring.

Bug fixes:
- Change select_config() to return None when no config matches instead of using first config
- Add proper error handling in dispatchers when no config matches a URL
- Return failed CrawlResult with "No matching configuration found" error message
- Fix is_match() to return True when url_matcher is None (matches all URLs)
- Import and use get_true_memory_usage_percent() for more accurate memory monitoring

Behavior clarification:
- CrawlerRunConfig with url_matcher=None matches ALL URLs (not nothing)
- This is the intended behavior for default/fallback configurations
- Enables clean pattern: specific configs first, default config last

Documentation updates:
- Clarify that configs without url_matcher match everything
- Explain "No matching configuration found" error when no default config
- Add examples showing proper default config usage
- Update all relevant docs: multi-url-crawling.md, arun_many.md, parameters.md
- Simplify API config examples by removing extraction_strategy

Demo and test updates:
- Update demo_multi_config_clean.py with commented default config to show behavior
- Change example URL to w3schools.com to demonstrate no-match scenario
- Uncomment all test URLs in test_multi_config.py for comprehensive testing

Breaking changes: None - this restores the intended behavior

This ensures URLs only get processed with appropriate configs, preventing
issues like HTML pages being processed with PDF extraction strategies.

a03e68fa2f feat: Add URL-specific crawler configurations for multi-URL crawling
Implement dynamic configuration selection based on URL patterns to optimize crawling for different content types. This feature enables users to apply different crawling strategies (PDF extraction, content filtering, JavaScript execution) based on URL matching patterns.

Key additions:
- Add url_matcher and match_mode parameters to CrawlerRunConfig
- Implement is_match() method supporting string patterns, functions, and mixed lists
- Add MatchMode enum for OR/AND logic when combining multiple matchers
- Update AsyncWebCrawler.arun_many() to accept List[CrawlerRunConfig]
- Add select_config() method to dispatchers for runtime config selection
- First matching config wins, with fallback to default

Pattern matching supports:
- Glob-style strings: *.pdf, */blog/*, *api*
- Lambda functions: lambda url: 'github.com' in url
- Mixed patterns with AND/OR logic for complex matching

This enables optimal per-URL configuration:
- PDFs: Use PDFContentScrapingStrategy without JavaScript
- Blogs: Apply content filtering to reduce noise
- APIs: Skip JavaScript, use JSON extraction
- Dynamic sites: Execute only necessary JavaScript

Breaking changes: None - fully backward compatible

0eaa9f9895 fix: handle infinity values in JSON serialization for API responses
- Add sanitize_json_data() function to convert infinity/NaN to JSON-compliant strings
- Fix /execute_js endpoint returning ValueError: Out of range float values are not JSON compliant: inf
- Fix /crawl endpoint batch responses with infinity values
- Fix /crawl/stream endpoint streaming responses with infinity values
- Fix /crawl/job endpoint background job responses with infinity values

The sanitize_json_data() function recursively processes response data:
- float('inf') → \"Infinity\"
- float('-inf') → \"-Infinity\"
- float('nan') → \"NaN\"

This prevents JSON serialization errors when JavaScript execution or crawling operations produce infinity values, ensuring all API endpoints return valid JSON.

Fixes: API endpoints crashing with infinity JSON serialization errors
Affects: /execute_js, /crawl, /crawl/stream, /crawl/job endpoints

22725ca87b fix(crawler): initialize captured_console to prevent unbound local error for local HTML files. REF: #1072
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.

e0fbd2b0a0 fix(schema): update f parameter description to use lowercase enum values. REF: #1070
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.

32966bea11 fix(extraction): resolve 'str' object has no attribute 'choices' error in LLMExtractionStrategy. Refs: #979
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.

## ✨ Recent Updates
### Version 0.6.0 Release Highlights
### Version 0.7.0 Release Highlights - The Adaptive Intelligence Update
- **🧠 Adaptive Crawling**: Your crawler now learns and adapts to website patterns automatically:
```python
config = AdaptiveConfig(
confidence_threshold=0.7, # Min confidence to stop crawling
max_depth=5, # Maximum crawl depth
max_pages=20, # Maximum number of pages to crawl
strategy="statistical"
)
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
adaptive_crawler = AdaptiveCrawler(crawler, config)
state = await adaptive_crawler.digest(
start_url="https://news.example.com",
query="latest news content"
)
# Crawler learns patterns and improves extraction over time
```
- **🌊 Virtual Scroll Support**: Complete content extraction from infinite scroll pages:
```python
scroll_config = VirtualScrollConfig(
container_selector="[data-testid='feed']",
scroll_count=20,
scroll_by="container_height",
wait_after_scroll=1.0
)
result = await crawler.arun(url, config=CrawlerRunConfig(
virtual_scroll_config=scroll_config
))
```
- **🔗 Intelligent Link Analysis**: 3-layer scoring system for smart link prioritization:
```python
link_config = LinkPreviewConfig(
query="machine learning tutorials",
score_threshold=0.3,
concurrent_requests=10
)
result = await crawler.arun(url, config=CrawlerRunConfig(
link_preview_config=link_config,
score_links=True
))
# Links ranked by relevance and quality
```
- **🎣 Async URL Seeder**: Discover thousands of URLs in seconds:
```python
seeder = AsyncUrlSeeder(SeedingConfig(
source="sitemap+cc",
pattern="*/blog/*",
query="python tutorials",

The Docker setup now supports flexible LLM provider configuration through three methods:
1. **Environment Variable** (Highest Priority): Set `LLM_PROVIDER` to override the default
```bash
export LLM_PROVIDER="anthropic/claude-3-opus"
# Or in your .llm.env file:

3. **Config File Default**: Falls back to `config.yml` (default: `openai/gpt-4o-mini`)

# 🚀 Crawl4AI v0.7.0: The Adaptive Intelligence Update
*January 28, 2025 • 10 min read*
---
Today I'm releasing Crawl4AI v0.7.0—the Adaptive Intelligence Update. This release introduces fundamental improvements in how Crawl4AI handles modern web complexity through adaptive learning, intelligent content discovery, and advanced extraction capabilities.
## 🎯 What's New at a Glance
- **Adaptive Crawling**: Your crawler now learns and adapts to website patterns
- **Virtual Scroll Support**: Complete content extraction from infinite scroll pages
- **Link Preview with Intelligent Scoring**: Intelligent link analysis and prioritization
- **Async URL Seeder**: Discover thousands of URLs in seconds with intelligent filtering
- **Performance Optimizations**: Significant speed and memory improvements
## 🧠 Adaptive Crawling: Intelligence Through Pattern Learning
**The Problem:** Websites change. Class names shift. IDs disappear. Your carefully crafted selectors break at 3 AM, and you wake up to empty datasets and angry stakeholders.
**My Solution:** I implemented an adaptive learning system that observes patterns, builds confidence scores, and adjusts extraction strategies on the fly. It's like having a junior developer who gets better at their job with every page they scrape.
### Technical Deep-Dive
The Adaptive Crawler maintains a persistent state for each domain, tracking:
- Pattern success rates
- Selector stability over time
- Content structure variations
- Extraction confidence scores
```python
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, AdaptiveCrawler, AdaptiveConfig
import asyncio
async def main():
# Configure adaptive crawler
config = AdaptiveConfig(
strategy="statistical", # or "embedding" for semantic understanding
max_pages=10,
confidence_threshold=0.7, # Stop at 70% confidence
top_k_links=3, # Follow top 3 links per page
min_gain_threshold=0.05 # Need 5% information gain to continue
)
async with AsyncWebCrawler(verbose=False) as crawler:
adaptive = AdaptiveCrawler(crawler, config)
print("Starting adaptive crawl about Python decorators...")
result = await adaptive.digest(
start_url="https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html",
query="python decorators functions wrapping"
)
print(f"\n✅ Crawling Complete!")
print(f"• Confidence Level: {adaptive.confidence:.0%}")
print(f"• Pages Crawled: {len(result.crawled_urls)}")
print(f"• Knowledge Base: {len(adaptive.state.knowledge_base)} documents")
# Get most relevant content
relevant = adaptive.get_relevant_content(top_k=3)
print(f"\nMost Relevant Pages:")
for i, page in enumerate(relevant, 1):
print(f"{i}. {page['url']} (relevance: {page['score']:.2%})")
asyncio.run(main())
```
**Expected Real-World Impact:**
- **News Aggregation**: Maintain 95%+ extraction accuracy even as news sites update their templates
- **E-commerce Monitoring**: Track product changes across hundreds of stores without constant maintenance
- **Research Data Collection**: Build robust academic datasets that survive website redesigns
- **Reduced Maintenance**: Cut selector update time by 80% for frequently-changing sites
## 🌊 Virtual Scroll: Complete Content Capture
**The Problem:** Modern web apps only render what's visible. Scroll down, new content appears, old content vanishes into the void. Traditional crawlers capture that first viewport and miss 90% of the content. It's like reading only the first page of every book.
**My Solution:** I built Virtual Scroll support that mimics human browsing behavior, capturing content as it loads and preserving it before the browser's garbage collector strikes.
### Implementation Details
```python
from crawl4ai import VirtualScrollConfig
# For social media feeds (Twitter/X style)
twitter_config = VirtualScrollConfig(
container_selector="[data-testid='primaryColumn']",
scroll_count=20, # Number of scrolls
scroll_by="container_height", # Smart scrolling by container size
wait_after_scroll=1.0 # Let content load
)
# For e-commerce product grids (Instagram style)
grid_config = VirtualScrollConfig(
container_selector="main .product-grid",
scroll_count=30,
scroll_by=800, # Fixed pixel scrolling
wait_after_scroll=1.5 # Images need time
)
# For news feeds with lazy loading
news_config = VirtualScrollConfig(
container_selector=".article-feed",
scroll_count=50,
scroll_by="page_height", # Viewport-based scrolling
wait_after_scroll=0.5 # Wait for content to load
)
# Use it in your crawl
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://twitter.com/trending",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
virtual_scroll_config=twitter_config,
# Combine with other features
extraction_strategy=JsonCssExtractionStrategy({
"tweets": {
"selector": "[data-testid='tweet']",
"fields": {
"text": {"selector": "[data-testid='tweetText']", "type": "text"},
"likes": {"selector": "[data-testid='like']", "type": "text"}
}
}
})
)
)
print(f"Captured {len(result.extracted_content['tweets'])} tweets")
```
**Key Capabilities:**
- **DOM Recycling Awareness**: Detects and handles virtual DOM element recycling
- **Smart Scroll Physics**: Three modes - container height, page height, or fixed pixels
- **Content Preservation**: Captures content before it's destroyed
- **Intelligent Stopping**: Stops when no new content appears
- **Memory Efficient**: Streams content instead of holding everything in memory
**Expected Real-World Impact:**
- **Social Media Analysis**: Capture entire Twitter threads with hundreds of replies, not just top 10
- **E-commerce Scraping**: Extract 500+ products from infinite scroll catalogs vs. 20-50 with traditional methods
- **News Aggregation**: Get all articles from modern news sites, not just above-the-fold content
- **Research Applications**: Complete data extraction from academic databases using virtual pagination
## 🔗 Link Preview: Intelligent Link Analysis and Scoring
**The Problem:** You crawl a page and get 200 links. Which ones matter? Which lead to the content you actually want? Traditional crawlers force you to follow everything or build complex filters.
**My Solution:** I implemented a three-layer scoring system that analyzes links like a human would—considering their position, context, and relevance to your goals.
### Intelligent Link Analysis and Scoring
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig, CacheMode, AsyncWebCrawler
from crawl4ai.adaptive_crawler import LinkPreviewConfig
async def main():
# Configure intelligent link analysis
link_config = LinkPreviewConfig(
include_internal=True,
include_external=False,
max_links=10,
concurrency=5,
query="python tutorial", # For contextual scoring
score_threshold=0.3,
verbose=True
)
# Use in your crawl
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
link_preview_config=link_config,
score_links=True, # Enable intrinsic scoring
cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS
)
)
# Access scored and sorted links
if result.success and result.links:
for link in result.links.get("internal", []):
text = link.get('text', 'No text')[:40]
print(
text,
f"{link.get('intrinsic_score', 0):.1f}/10" if link.get('intrinsic_score') is not None else "0.0/10",
f"{link.get('contextual_score', 0):.2f}/1" if link.get('contextual_score') is not None else "0.00/1",
f"{link.get('total_score', 0):.3f}" if link.get('total_score') is not None else "0.000"
)
asyncio.run(main())
```
**Scoring Components:**
1. **Intrinsic Score**: Based on link quality indicators
- Position on page (navigation, content, footer)
- Link attributes (rel, title, class names)
- Anchor text quality and length
- URL structure and depth
2. **Contextual Score**: Relevance to your query using BM25 algorithm
- Keyword matching in link text and title
- Meta description analysis
- Content preview scoring
3. **Total Score**: Combined score for final ranking
**Expected Real-World Impact:**
- **Research Efficiency**: Find relevant papers 10x faster by following only high-score links
- **Competitive Analysis**: Automatically identify important pages on competitor sites
- **Content Discovery**: Build topic-focused crawlers that stay on track
- **SEO Audits**: Identify and prioritize high-value internal linking opportunities
## 🎣 Async URL Seeder: Automated URL Discovery at Scale
**The Problem:** You want to crawl an entire domain but only have the homepage. Or worse, you want specific content types across thousands of pages. Manual URL discovery? That's a job for machines, not humans.
**My Solution:** I built Async URL Seeder—a turbocharged URL discovery engine that combines multiple sources with intelligent filtering and relevance scoring.
### Technical Architecture
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import AsyncUrlSeeder, SeedingConfig
async def main():
async with AsyncUrlSeeder() as seeder:
# Discover Python tutorial URLs
config = SeedingConfig(
source="sitemap", # Use sitemap
pattern="*python*", # URL pattern filter
extract_head=True, # Get metadata
query="python tutorial", # For relevance scoring
scoring_method="bm25",
score_threshold=0.2,
max_urls=10
)
print("Discovering Python async tutorial URLs...")
urls = await seeder.urls("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/", config)
print(f"\n✅ Found {len(urls)} relevant URLs:")
for i, url_info in enumerate(urls[:5], 1):
print(f"\n{i}. {url_info['url']}")
if url_info.get('relevance_score'):
print(f" Relevance: {url_info['relevance_score']:.3f}")
if url_info.get('head_data', {}).get('title'):
print(f" Title: {url_info['head_data']['title'][:60]}...")
asyncio.run(main())
```
**Discovery Methods:**
- **Sitemap Mining**: Parses robots.txt and all linked sitemaps
- **Common Crawl**: Queries the Common Crawl index for historical URLs
- **Intelligent Crawling**: Follows links with smart depth control
- **Pattern Analysis**: Learns URL structures and generates variations
**Expected Real-World Impact:**
- **Migration Projects**: Discover 10,000+ URLs from legacy sites in under 60 seconds
- **Market Research**: Map entire competitor ecosystems automatically
- **Academic Research**: Build comprehensive datasets without manual URL collection
- **SEO Audits**: Find every indexable page with content scoring
- **Content Archival**: Ensure no content is left behind during site migrations
## ⚡ Performance Optimizations
This release includes significant performance improvements through optimized resource handling, better concurrency management, and reduced memory footprint.
### What We Optimized
```python
# Optimized crawling with v0.7.0 improvements
results = []
for url in urls:
result = await crawler.arun(
url,
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
# Performance optimizations
wait_until="domcontentloaded", # Faster than networkidle
cache_mode=CacheMode.ENABLED # Enable caching
)
)
results.append(result)
```
**Performance Gains:**
- **Startup Time**: 70% faster browser initialization
- **Page Loading**: 40% reduction with smart resource blocking
- **Extraction**: 3x faster with compiled CSS selectors
- **Memory Usage**: 60% reduction with streaming processing
- **Concurrent Crawls**: Handle 5x more parallel requests
## 🔧 Important Changes
### Breaking Changes
- `link_extractor` renamed to `link_preview` (better reflects functionality)
- Minimum Python version now 3.9
- `CrawlerConfig` split into `CrawlerRunConfig` and `BrowserConfig`
### Migration Guide
```python
# Old (v0.6.x)
from crawl4ai import CrawlerConfig
config = CrawlerConfig(timeout=30000)
# New (v0.7.0)
from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig, BrowserConfig
browser_config = BrowserConfig(timeout=30000)
run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS)
```
## 🤖 Coming Soon: Intelligent Web Automation
I'm currently working on bringing advanced automation capabilities to Crawl4AI. This includes:
- **Crawl Agents**: Autonomous crawlers that understand your goals and adapt their strategies
- **Auto JS Generation**: Automatic JavaScript code generation for complex interactions

# 🛠️ Crawl4AI v0.7.1: Minor Cleanup Update
*July 17, 2025 • 2 min read*
---
A small maintenance release that removes unused code and improves documentation.
## 🎯 What's Changed
- **Removed unused StealthConfig** from `crawl4ai/browser_manager.py`
- **Updated documentation** with better examples and parameter explanations
- **Fixed virtual scroll configuration** examples in docs
## 🧹 Code Cleanup
Removed unused `StealthConfig` import and configuration that wasn't being used anywhere in the codebase. The project uses its own custom stealth implementation through JavaScript injection instead.
```python
# Removed unused code:
from playwright_stealth import StealthConfig
stealth_config = StealthConfig(...) # This was never used
```
## 📖 Documentation Updates
- Fixed adaptive crawling parameter examples
- Updated session management documentation
- Corrected virtual scroll configuration examples
## 🚀 Installation
```bash
pip install crawl4ai==0.7.1
```
No breaking changes - upgrade directly from v0.7.0.

Stealth Mode Example with Crawl4AI
This example demonstrates how to use the stealth mode feature to bypass basic bot detection.
The stealth mode uses playwright-stealth to modify browser fingerprints and behaviors
that are commonly used to detect automated browsers.
Key features demonstrated:
1. Comparing crawling with and without stealth mode
2. Testing against bot detection sites
3. Accessing sites that block automated browsers
4. Best practices for stealth crawling

## 7. Anti-Bot Features (Stealth Mode & Undetected Browser)
Crawl4AI provides two powerful features to bypass bot detection:
### 7.1 Stealth Mode
Stealth mode uses playwright-stealth to modify browser fingerprints and behaviors. Enable it with a simple flag:
```python
browser_config = BrowserConfig(
enable_stealth=True, # Activates stealth mode
headless=False
)
```
**When to use**: Sites with basic bot detection (checking navigator.webdriver, plugins, etc.)
### 7.2 Undetected Browser
For advanced bot detection, use the undetected browser adapter:
```python
from crawl4ai import UndetectedAdapter
from crawl4ai.async_crawler_strategy import AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy
# Create undetected adapter
adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
strategy = AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy(
browser_config=browser_config,
browser_adapter=adapter
)
async with AsyncWebCrawler(crawler_strategy=strategy, config=browser_config) as crawler:
# Your crawling code
```
**When to use**: Sites with sophisticated bot detection (Cloudflare, DataDome, etc.)
### 7.3 Combining Both
For maximum evasion, combine stealth mode with undetected browser:
```python
browser_config = BrowserConfig(
enable_stealth=True, # Enable stealth
headless=False
)
adapter = UndetectedAdapter() # Use undetected browser
```
### Choosing the Right Approach
| Detection Level | Recommended Approach |
|----------------|---------------------|
| No protection | Regular browser |
| Basic checks | Regular + Stealth mode |
| Advanced protection | Undetected browser |
| Maximum evasion | Undetected + Stealth mode |
**Best Practice**: Start with regular browser + stealth mode. Only use undetected browser if needed, as it may be slightly slower.
See [Undetected Browser Mode](undetected-browser.md) for detailed examples.

## 6. Summary
## 6. URL-Specific Configurations
When crawling diverse content types, you often need different configurations for different URLs. For example:
- PDFs need specialized extraction
- Blog pages benefit from content filtering
- Dynamic sites need JavaScript execution
- API endpoints need JSON parsing
### 6.1 Basic URL Pattern Matching
```python
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig, MatchMode
from crawl4ai.processors.pdf import PDFContentScrapingStrategy
from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import JsonCssExtractionStrategy
from crawl4ai.content_filter_strategy import PruningContentFilter
from crawl4ai.markdown_generation_strategy import DefaultMarkdownGenerator
async def crawl_mixed_content():
# Configure different strategies for different content
configs = [
# PDF files - specialized extraction
CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher="*.pdf",
scraping_strategy=PDFContentScrapingStrategy()
),
# Blog/article pages - content filtering
CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher=["*/blog/*", "*/article/*"],
markdown_generator=DefaultMarkdownGenerator(
content_filter=PruningContentFilter(threshold=0.48)
)
),
# Dynamic pages - JavaScript execution
CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher=lambda url: 'github.com' in url,
js_code="window.scrollTo(0, 500);"
),
# API endpoints - JSON extraction
CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher=lambda url: 'api' in url or url.endswith('.json'),
# Custome settings for JSON extraction
),
# Default config for everything else
CrawlerRunConfig() # No url_matcher means it matches ALL URLs (fallback)
]
# Mixed URLs
urls = [
"https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf",
"https://blog.python.org/",
"https://github.com/microsoft/playwright",
"https://httpbin.org/json",
"https://example.com/"
]
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
results = await crawler.arun_many(
urls=urls,
config=configs # Pass list of configs
)
for result in results:
print(f"{result.url}: {len(result.markdown)} chars")
```
### 6.2 Advanced Pattern Matching
**Important**: A `CrawlerRunConfig` without `url_matcher` (or with `url_matcher=None`) matches ALL URLs. This makes it perfect as a default/fallback configuration.
The `url_matcher` parameter supports three types of patterns:
#### Glob Patterns (Strings)
```python
# Simple patterns
"*.pdf" # Any PDF file
"*/api/*" # Any URL with /api/ in path
"https://*.example.com/*" # Subdomain matching
"*://example.com/blog/*" # Any protocol
```
#### Custom Functions
```python
# Complex logic with lambdas
lambda url: url.startswith('https://') and 'secure' in url
lambda url: len(url) > 50 and url.count('/') > 5
lambda url: any(domain in url for domain in ['api.', 'data.', 'feed.'])
```
#### Mixed Lists with AND/OR Logic
```python
# Combine multiple conditions
CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher=[
"https://*", # Must be HTTPS
lambda url: 'internal' in url, # Must contain 'internal'
lambda url: not url.endswith('.pdf') # Must not be PDF
],
match_mode=MatchMode.AND # ALL conditions must match
)
```
### 6.3 Practical Example: News Site Crawler
```python
async def crawl_news_site():
dispatcher = MemoryAdaptiveDispatcher(
memory_threshold_percent=70.0,
rate_limiter=RateLimiter(base_delay=(1.0, 2.0))
)
configs = [
# Homepage - light extraction
CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher=lambda url: url.rstrip('/') == 'https://news.ycombinator.com',
css_selector="nav, .headline",
extraction_strategy=None
),
# Article pages - full extraction
CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher="*/article/*",
extraction_strategy=CosineStrategy(
semantic_filter="article content",
word_count_threshold=100
),
screenshot=True,
excluded_tags=["nav", "aside", "footer"]
),
# Author pages - metadata focus
CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher="*/author/*",
extraction_strategy=JsonCssExtractionStrategy({
"name": "h1.author-name",
"bio": ".author-bio",
"articles": "article.post-card h2"
})
),
# Everything else
CrawlerRunConfig()
]
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
results = await crawler.arun_many(
urls=news_urls,
config=configs,
dispatcher=dispatcher
)
```
### 6.4 Best Practices
1. **Order Matters**: Configs are evaluated in order - put specific patterns before general ones
2. **Default Config Behavior**:
- A config without `url_matcher` matches ALL URLs
- Always include a default config as the last item if you want to handle all URLs
- Without a default config, unmatched URLs will fail with "No matching configuration found"
3. **Test Your Patterns**: Use the config's `is_match()` method to test patterns:
```python
config = CrawlerRunConfig(url_matcher="*.pdf")
print(config.is_match("https://example.com/doc.pdf")) # True
default_config = CrawlerRunConfig() # No url_matcher
print(default_config.is_match("https://any-url.com")) # True - matches everything!
```
4. **Optimize for Performance**:
- Disable JS for static content
- Skip screenshots for data APIs
- Use appropriate extraction strategies

# PDF Processing Strategies
Crawl4AI provides specialized strategies for handling and extracting content from PDF files. These strategies allow you to seamlessly integrate PDF processing into your crawling workflows, whether the PDFs are hosted online or stored locally.
## `PDFCrawlerStrategy`
### Overview
`PDFCrawlerStrategy` is an implementation of `AsyncCrawlerStrategy` designed specifically for PDF documents. Instead of interpreting the input URL as an HTML webpage, this strategy treats it as a pointer to a PDF file. It doesn't perform deep crawling or HTML parsing itself but rather prepares the PDF source for a dedicated PDF scraping strategy. Its primary role is to identify the PDF source (web URL or local file) and pass it along the processing pipeline in a way that `AsyncWebCrawler` can handle.
### When to Use
Use `PDFCrawlerStrategy` when you need to:
- Process PDF files using the `AsyncWebCrawler`.
- Handle PDFs from both web URLs (e.g., `https://example.com/document.pdf`) and local file paths (e.g., `file:///path/to/your/document.pdf`).
- Integrate PDF content extraction into a unified `CrawlResult` object, allowing consistent handling of PDF data alongside web page data.
### Key Methods and Their Behavior
- **`__init__(self, logger: AsyncLogger = None)`**:
- Initializes the strategy.
- `logger`: An optional `AsyncLogger` instance (from `crawl4ai.async_logger`) for logging purposes.
- **`async crawl(self, url: str, **kwargs) -> AsyncCrawlResponse`**:
- This method is called by the `AsyncWebCrawler` during the `arun` process.
- It takes the `url` (which should point to a PDF) and creates a minimal `AsyncCrawlResponse`.
- The `html` attribute of this response is typically empty or a placeholder, as the actual PDF content processing is deferred to the `PDFContentScrapingStrategy` (or a similar PDF-aware scraping strategy).
- It sets `response_headers` to indicate "application/pdf" and `status_code` to 200.
- **`async close(self)`**:
- A method for cleaning up any resources used by the strategy. For `PDFCrawlerStrategy`, this is usually minimal.
- **`async __aenter__(self)` / `async __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb)`**:
- Enables asynchronous context management for the strategy, allowing it to be used with `async with`.
### Example Usage
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig
from crawl4ai.processors.pdf import PDFCrawlerStrategy, PDFContentScrapingStrategy
async def main():
# Initialize the PDF crawler strategy
pdf_crawler_strategy = PDFCrawlerStrategy()
# PDFCrawlerStrategy is typically used in conjunction with PDFContentScrapingStrategy
# The scraping strategy handles the actual PDF content extraction
pdf_scraping_strategy = PDFContentScrapingStrategy()
run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(scraping_strategy=pdf_scraping_strategy)
async with AsyncWebCrawler(crawler_strategy=pdf_crawler_strategy) as crawler:
# Example with a remote PDF URL
pdf_url = "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06825.pdf" # A public PDF from arXiv
print(f"Attempting to process PDF: {pdf_url}")
result = await crawler.arun(url=pdf_url, config=run_config)
if result.success:
print(f"Successfully processed PDF: {result.url}")
print(f"Metadata Title: {result.metadata.get('title', 'N/A')}")
# Further processing of result.markdown, result.media, etc.
# would be done here, based on what PDFContentScrapingStrategy extracts.
if result.markdown and hasattr(result.markdown, 'raw_markdown'):
print(f"Extracted text (first 200 chars): {result.markdown.raw_markdown[:200]}...")
else:
print("No markdown (text) content extracted.")
else:
print(f"Failed to process PDF: {result.error_message}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```
### Pros and Cons
**Pros:**
- Enables `AsyncWebCrawler` to handle PDF sources directly using familiar `arun` calls.
- Provides a consistent interface for specifying PDF sources (URLs or local paths).
- Abstracts the source handling, allowing a separate scraping strategy to focus on PDF content parsing.
**Cons:**
- Does not perform any PDF data extraction itself; it strictly relies on a compatible scraping strategy (like `PDFContentScrapingStrategy`) to process the PDF.
- Has limited utility on its own; most of its value comes from being paired with a PDF-specific content scraping strategy.
---
## `PDFContentScrapingStrategy`
### Overview
`PDFContentScrapingStrategy` is an implementation of `ContentScrapingStrategy` designed to extract text, metadata, and optionally images from PDF documents. It is intended to be used in conjunction with a crawler strategy that can provide it with a PDF source, such as `PDFCrawlerStrategy`. This strategy uses the `NaivePDFProcessorStrategy` internally to perform the low-level PDF parsing.
### When to Use
Use `PDFContentScrapingStrategy` when your `AsyncWebCrawler` (often configured with `PDFCrawlerStrategy`) needs to:
- Extract textual content page by page from a PDF document.
- Retrieve standard metadata embedded within the PDF (e.g., title, author, subject, creation date, page count).
- Optionally, extract images contained within the PDF pages. These images can be saved to a local directory or made available for further processing.
- Produce a `ScrapingResult` that can be converted into a `CrawlResult`, making PDF content accessible in a manner similar to HTML web content (e.g., text in `result.markdown`, metadata in `result.metadata`).
### Key Configuration Attributes
When initializing `PDFContentScrapingStrategy`, you can configure its behavior using the following attributes:
- **`extract_images: bool = False`**: If `True`, the strategy will attempt to extract images from the PDF.
- **`save_images_locally: bool = False`**: If `True` (and `extract_images` is also `True`), extracted images will be saved to disk in the `image_save_dir`. If `False`, image data might be available in another form (e.g., base64, depending on the underlying processor) but not saved as separate files by this strategy.
- **`image_save_dir: str = None`**: Specifies the directory where extracted images should be saved if `save_images_locally` is `True`. If `None`, a default or temporary directory might be used.
- **`batch_size: int = 4`**: Defines how many PDF pages are processed in a single batch. This can be useful for managing memory when dealing with very large PDF documents.
- **`logger: AsyncLogger = None`**: An optional `AsyncLogger` instance for logging.
### Key Methods and Their Behavior
- **`__init__(self, save_images_locally: bool = False, extract_images: bool = False, image_save_dir: str = None, batch_size: int = 4, logger: AsyncLogger = None)`**:
- Initializes the strategy with configurations for image handling, batch processing, and logging. It sets up an internal `NaivePDFProcessorStrategy` instance which performs the actual PDF parsing.
- **`scrap(self, url: str, html: str, **params) -> ScrapingResult`**:
- This is the primary synchronous method called by the crawler (via `ascrap`) to process the PDF.
- `url`: The path or URL to the PDF file (provided by `PDFCrawlerStrategy` or similar).
- `html`: Typically an empty string when used with `PDFCrawlerStrategy`, as the content is a PDF, not HTML.
- It first ensures the PDF is accessible locally (downloads it to a temporary file if `url` is remote).
- It then uses its internal PDF processor to extract text, metadata, and images (if configured).
- The extracted information is compiled into a `ScrapingResult` object:
- `cleaned_html`: Contains an HTML-like representation of the PDF, where each page's content is often wrapped in a `<div>` with page number information.
- `media`: A dictionary where `media["images"]` will contain information about extracted images if `extract_images` was `True`.
- `links`: A dictionary where `links["urls"]` can contain URLs found within the PDF content.
- `metadata`: A dictionary holding PDF metadata (e.g., title, author, num_pages).
- **`async ascrap(self, url: str, html: str, **kwargs) -> ScrapingResult`**:
- The asynchronous version of `scrap`. Under the hood, it typically runs the synchronous `scrap` method in a separate thread using `asyncio.to_thread` to avoid blocking the event loop.
- **`_get_pdf_path(self, url: str) -> str`**:
- A private helper method to manage PDF file access. If the `url` is remote (http/https), it downloads the PDF to a temporary local file and returns its path. If `url` indicates a local file (`file://` or a direct path), it resolves and returns the local path.
### Example Usage
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig
from crawl4ai.processors.pdf import PDFCrawlerStrategy, PDFContentScrapingStrategy
import os # For creating image directory
async def main():
# Define the directory for saving extracted images
image_output_dir = "./my_pdf_images"
os.makedirs(image_output_dir, exist_ok=True)
# Configure the PDF content scraping strategy
# Enable image extraction and specify where to save them
pdf_scraping_cfg = PDFContentScrapingStrategy(
extract_images=True,
save_images_locally=True,
image_save_dir=image_output_dir,
batch_size=2 # Process 2 pages at a time for demonstration
)
# The PDFCrawlerStrategy is needed to tell AsyncWebCrawler how to "crawl" a PDF
pdf_crawler_cfg = PDFCrawlerStrategy()
# Configure the overall crawl run
run_cfg = CrawlerRunConfig(
scraping_strategy=pdf_scraping_cfg # Use our PDF scraping strategy
)
# Initialize the crawler with the PDF-specific crawler strategy
async with AsyncWebCrawler(crawler_strategy=pdf_crawler_cfg) as crawler:
pdf_url = "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06825.pdf" # Example PDF
print(f"Starting PDF processing for: {pdf_url}")
result = await crawler.arun(url=pdf_url, config=run_cfg)
if result.success:
print("\n--- PDF Processing Successful ---")
print(f"Processed URL: {result.url}")
print("\n--- Metadata ---")
for key, value in result.metadata.items():
print(f" {key.replace('_', ' ').title()}: {value}")
if result.markdown and hasattr(result.markdown, 'raw_markdown'):
print(f"\n--- Extracted Text (Markdown Snippet) ---")
print(result.markdown.raw_markdown[:500].strip() + "...")
else:
print("\nNo text (markdown) content extracted.")
if result.media and result.media.get("images"):
print(f"\n--- Image Extraction ---")
print(f"Extracted {len(result.media['images'])} image(s).")
for i, img_info in enumerate(result.media["images"][:2]): # Show info for first 2 images
print(f" Image {i+1}:")
print(f" Page: {img_info.get('page')}")
print(f" Format: {img_info.get('format', 'N/A')}")
if img_info.get('path'):
print(f" Saved at: {img_info.get('path')}")
else:
print("\nNo images were extracted (or extract_images was False).")
else:
print(f"\n--- PDF Processing Failed ---")
print(f"Error: {result.error_message}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```
### Pros and Cons
**Pros:**
- Provides a comprehensive way to extract text, metadata, and (optionally) images from PDF documents.
- Handles both remote PDFs (via URL) and local PDF files.
- Configurable image extraction allows saving images to disk or accessing their data.
- Integrates smoothly with the `CrawlResult` object structure, making PDF-derived data accessible in a way consistent with web-scraped data.
- The `batch_size` parameter can help in managing memory consumption when processing large or numerous PDF pages.
**Cons:**
- Extraction quality and performance can vary significantly depending on the PDF's complexity, encoding, and whether it's image-based (scanned) or text-based.
- Image extraction can be resource-intensive (both CPU and disk space if `save_images_locally` is true).
- Relies on `NaivePDFProcessorStrategy` internally, which might have limitations with very complex layouts, encrypted PDFs, or forms compared to more sophisticated PDF parsing libraries. Scanned PDFs will not yield text unless an OCR step is performed (which is not part of this strategy by default).
- Link extraction from PDFs can be basic and depends on how hyperlinks are embedded in the document.

# Undetected Browser Mode
## Overview
Crawl4AI offers two powerful anti-bot features to help you access websites with bot detection:
1. **Stealth Mode** - Uses playwright-stealth to modify browser fingerprints and behaviors
2. **Undetected Browser Mode** - Advanced browser adapter with deep-level patches for sophisticated bot detection
This guide covers both features and helps you choose the right approach for your needs.
## Anti-Bot Features Comparison
| Feature | Regular Browser | Stealth Mode | Undetected Browser |
|---------|----------------|--------------|-------------------|
| WebDriver Detection | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Navigator Properties | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Plugin Emulation | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| CDP Detection | ❌ | Partial | ✅ |
| Deep Browser Patches | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Performance Impact | None | Minimal | Moderate |
| Setup Complexity | None | None | Minimal |
## When to Use Each Approach
### Use Regular Browser + Stealth Mode When:
- Sites have basic bot detection (checking navigator.webdriver, plugins, etc.)
- You need good performance with basic protection
- Sites check for common automation indicators
### Use Undetected Browser When:
- Sites employ sophisticated bot detection services (Cloudflare, DataDome, etc.)
- Stealth mode alone isn't sufficient
- You're willing to trade some performance for better evasion
### Best Practice: Progressive Enhancement
1. **Start with**: Regular browser + Stealth mode
2. **If blocked**: Switch to Undetected browser
3. **If still blocked**: Combine Undetected browser + Stealth mode
## Stealth Mode
Stealth mode is the simpler anti-bot solution that works with both regular and undetected browsers:
```python
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig
# Enable stealth mode with regular browser
browser_config = BrowserConfig(
enable_stealth=True, # Simple flag to enable
headless=False # Better for avoiding detection
)
async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun("https://example.com")
```
### What Stealth Mode Does:
- Removes `navigator.webdriver` flag
- Modifies browser fingerprints
- Emulates realistic plugin behavior
- Adjusts navigator properties
- Fixes common automation leaks
## Undetected Browser Mode
For sites with sophisticated bot detection that stealth mode can't bypass, use the undetected browser adapter:
### Key Features
- **Drop-in Replacement**: Uses the same API as regular browser mode
- **Enhanced Stealth**: Built-in patches to evade common detection methods
- **Browser Adapter Pattern**: Seamlessly switch between regular and undetected modes
- **Automatic Installation**: `crawl4ai-setup` installs all necessary browser dependencies
### Quick Start
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import (
AsyncWebCrawler,
BrowserConfig,
CrawlerRunConfig,
UndetectedAdapter
)
from crawl4ai.async_crawler_strategy import AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy
async def main():
# Create the undetected adapter
undetected_adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
# Create browser config
browser_config = BrowserConfig(
headless=False, # Headless mode can be detected easier
verbose=True,
)
# Create the crawler strategy with undetected adapter
crawler_strategy = AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy(
browser_config=browser_config,
browser_adapter=undetected_adapter
)
# Create the crawler with our custom strategy
async with AsyncWebCrawler(
crawler_strategy=crawler_strategy,
config=browser_config
) as crawler:
# Your crawling code here
result = await crawler.arun(
url="https://example.com",
config=CrawlerRunConfig()
)
print(result.markdown[:500])
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Combining Both Features
For maximum evasion, combine stealth mode with undetected browser:
```python
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig, UndetectedAdapter
from crawl4ai.async_crawler_strategy import AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy
# Create browser config with stealth enabled
browser_config = BrowserConfig(
enable_stealth=True, # Enable stealth mode
headless=False
)
# Create undetected adapter
adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
# Create strategy with both features
strategy = AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy(
browser_config=browser_config,
browser_adapter=adapter
)
async with AsyncWebCrawler(
crawler_strategy=strategy,
config=browser_config
) as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun("https://protected-site.com")
```
## Examples
### Example 1: Basic Stealth Mode
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig, CrawlerRunConfig
async def test_stealth_mode():
# Simple stealth mode configuration
browser_config = BrowserConfig(
enable_stealth=True,
headless=False
)
async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(
url="https://bot.sannysoft.com",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(screenshot=True)
)
if result.success:
print("✓ Successfully accessed bot detection test site")
# Save screenshot to verify detection results
if result.screenshot:
import base64
with open("stealth_test.png", "wb") as f:
f.write(base64.b64decode(result.screenshot))
print("✓ Screenshot saved - check for green (passed) tests")
asyncio.run(test_stealth_mode())
```
### Example 2: Undetected Browser Mode
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import (
AsyncWebCrawler,
BrowserConfig,
CrawlerRunConfig,
UndetectedAdapter
)
from crawl4ai.async_crawler_strategy import AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy
async def main():
# Create browser config
browser_config = BrowserConfig(
headless=False,
verbose=True,
)
# Create the undetected adapter
undetected_adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
# Create the crawler strategy with the undetected adapter
crawler_strategy = AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy(
browser_config=browser_config,
browser_adapter=undetected_adapter
)
# Create the crawler with our custom strategy
async with AsyncWebCrawler(
crawler_strategy=crawler_strategy,
config=browser_config
) as crawler:
# Configure the crawl
crawler_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
markdown_generator=DefaultMarkdownGenerator(
content_filter=PruningContentFilter()
),
capture_console_messages=True, # Test adapter console capture
)
# Test on a site that typically detects bots
print("Testing undetected adapter...")
result: CrawlResult = await crawler.arun(
url="https://www.helloworld.org",
config=crawler_config
)
print(f"Status: {result.status_code}")
print(f"Success: {result.success}")
print(f"Console messages captured: {len(result.console_messages or [])}")
print(f"Markdown content (first 500 chars):\n{result.markdown.raw_markdown[:500]}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Browser Adapter Pattern
The undetected browser support is implemented using an adapter pattern, allowing seamless switching between different browser implementations:
```python
# Regular browser adapter (default)
from crawl4ai import PlaywrightAdapter
regular_adapter = PlaywrightAdapter()
# Undetected browser adapter
from crawl4ai import UndetectedAdapter
undetected_adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
```
The adapter handles:
- JavaScript execution
- Console message capture
- Error handling
- Browser-specific optimizations
## Best Practices
1. **Avoid Headless Mode**: Detection is easier in headless mode
```python
browser_config = BrowserConfig(headless=False)
```
2. **Use Reasonable Delays**: Don't rush through pages
```python
crawler_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
wait_time=3.0, # Wait 3 seconds after page load
delay_before_return_html=2.0 # Additional delay
)
```
3. **Rotate User Agents**: You can customize user agents
```python
browser_config = BrowserConfig(
headers={"User-Agent": "your-user-agent"}
)
```
4. **Handle Failures Gracefully**: Some sites may still detect and block
```python
if not result.success:
print(f"Crawl failed: {result.error_message}")
```
## Advanced Usage Tips
### Progressive Detection Handling
```python
async def crawl_with_progressive_evasion(url):
# Step 1: Try regular browser with stealth
browser_config = BrowserConfig(
enable_stealth=True,
headless=False
)
async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(url)
if result.success and "Access Denied" not in result.html:
return result
# Step 2: If blocked, try undetected browser
print("Regular + stealth blocked, trying undetected browser...")
adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
strategy = AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy(
browser_config=browser_config,
browser_adapter=adapter
)
async with AsyncWebCrawler(
crawler_strategy=strategy,
config=browser_config
) as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(url)
return result
```
## Installation
The undetected browser dependencies are automatically installed when you run:
```bash
crawl4ai-setup
```
This command installs all necessary browser dependencies for both regular and undetected modes.
## Limitations
- **Performance**: Slightly slower than regular mode due to additional patches
- **Headless Detection**: Some sites can still detect headless mode
- **Resource Usage**: May use more resources than regular mode
- **Not 100% Guaranteed**: Advanced anti-bot services are constantly evolving
## Troubleshooting
### Browser Not Found
Run the setup command:
```bash
crawl4ai-setup
```
### Detection Still Occurring
Try combining with other features:
```python
crawler_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
simulate_user=True, # Add user simulation
magic=True, # Enable magic mode
wait_time=5.0, # Longer waits
)
```
### Performance Issues
If experiencing slow performance:
```python
# Use selective undetected mode only for protected sites
if is_protected_site(url):
adapter = UndetectedAdapter()
else:
adapter = PlaywrightAdapter() # Default adapter
```
## Future Plans
**Note**: In future versions of Crawl4AI, we may enable stealth mode and undetected browser by default to provide better out-of-the-box success rates. For now, users should explicitly enable these features when needed.
## Conclusion
Crawl4AI provides flexible anti-bot solutions:
1. **Start Simple**: Use regular browser + stealth mode for most sites
2. **Escalate if Needed**: Switch to undetected browser for sophisticated protection
3. **Combine for Maximum Effect**: Use both features together when facing the toughest challenges
Remember:
- Always respect robots.txt and website terms of service
- Use appropriate delays to avoid overwhelming servers
- Consider the performance trade-offs of each approach
- Test progressively to find the minimum necessary evasion level

# Custome settings for JSON extraction
)
# Default fallback config
default_config = CrawlerRunConfig() # No url_matcher means it never matches except as fallback
# Pass the list of configs - first match wins!
results = await crawler.arun_many(

"https://blog.python.org/", # → blog_config
"https://github.com/microsoft/playwright", # → github_config
"https://httpbin.org/json", # → api_config
"https://example.com/" # → default_config
],
config=[pdf_config, blog_config, github_config, api_config, default_config]
)
```
**URL Matching Features**:
- **String patterns**: `"*.pdf"`, `"*/blog/*"`, `"*python.org*"`
- **Function matchers**: `lambda url: 'api' in url`
- **Mixed patterns**: Combine strings and functions with `MatchMode.OR` or `MatchMode.AND`
- **First match wins**: Configs are evaluated in order
**Key Points**:
- Each URL is processed by the same or separate sessions, depending on the dispatchers strategy.
- `dispatch_result` in each `CrawlResult` (if using concurrency) can hold memory and timing info. 
- If you need to handle authentication or session IDs, pass them in each individual task or within your run config.
- **Important**: Always include a default config (without `url_matcher`) as the last item if you want to handle all URLs. Otherwise, unmatched URLs will fail.

### I) **URL Matching Configuration**
| **Parameter** | **Type / Default** | **What It Does** |
|------------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **`url_matcher`** | `UrlMatcher` (None) | Pattern(s) to match URLs against. Can be: string (glob), function, or list of mixed types. **None means match ALL URLs** |
| **`match_mode`** | `MatchMode` (MatchMode.OR) | How to combine multiple matchers in a list: `MatchMode.OR` (any match) or `MatchMode.AND` (all must match) |
The `url_matcher` parameter enables URL-specific configurations when used with `arun_many()`:
```python
from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig, MatchMode
from crawl4ai.processors.pdf import PDFContentScrapingStrategy
from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import JsonCssExtractionStrategy
# Simple string pattern (glob-style)
pdf_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher="*.pdf",
scraping_strategy=PDFContentScrapingStrategy()
)
# Multiple patterns with OR logic (default)
blog_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher=["*/blog/*", "*/article/*", "*/news/*"],
match_mode=MatchMode.OR # Any pattern matches
)
# Function matcher
api_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher=lambda url: 'api' in url or url.endswith('.json'),
# Other settings like extraction_strategy
)
# Mixed: String + Function with AND logic
complex_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher=[
lambda url: url.startswith('https://'), # Must be HTTPS
"*.org/*", # Must be .org domain
lambda url: 'docs' in url # Must contain 'docs'
],
match_mode=MatchMode.AND # ALL conditions must match
)
# Combined patterns and functions with AND logic
secure_docs = CrawlerRunConfig(
url_matcher=["https://*", lambda url: '.doc' in url],
match_mode=MatchMode.AND # Must be HTTPS AND contain .doc
)
# Default config - matches ALL URLs
default_config = CrawlerRunConfig() # No url_matcher = matches everything
```
**UrlMatcher Types:**
- **None (default)**: When `url_matcher` is None or not set, the config matches ALL URLs
- **String patterns**: Glob-style patterns like `"*.pdf"`, `"*/api/*"`, `"https://*.example.com/*"`
- **Functions**: `lambda url: bool` - Custom logic for complex matching
- **Lists**: Mix strings and functions, combined with `MatchMode.OR` or `MatchMode.AND`
**Important Behavior:**
- When passing a list of configs to `arun_many()`, URLs are matched against each config's `url_matcher` in order. First match wins!
- If no config matches a URL and there's no default config (one without `url_matcher`), the URL will fail with "No matching configuration found"
- Always include a default config as the last item if you want to handle all URLs

### [Crawl4AI v0.5.0: Deep Crawling, Scalability, and a New CLI!](releases/0.5.0.md)
My dear friends and crawlers, there you go, this is the release of Crawl4AI v0.5.0! This release brings a wealth of new features, performance improvements, and a more streamlined developer experience. Here's a breakdown of what's new:
**Major New Features:**
* **Deep Crawling:** Explore entire websites with configurable strategies (BFS, DFS, Best-First). Define custom filters and URL scoring for targeted crawls.
* **Memory-Adaptive Dispatcher:** Handle large-scale crawls with ease! Our new dispatcher dynamically adjusts concurrency based on available memory and includes built-in rate limiting.
* **Multiple Crawler Strategies:** Choose between the full-featured Playwright browser-based crawler or a new, *much* faster HTTP-only crawler for simpler tasks.
* **Docker Deployment:** Deploy Crawl4AI as a scalable, self-contained service with built-in API endpoints and optional JWT authentication.
* **Command-Line Interface (CLI):** Interact with Crawl4AI directly from your terminal. Crawl, configure, and extract data with simple commands.
* **LLM Configuration (`LLMConfig`):** A new, unified way to configure LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.) for extraction, filtering, and schema generation. Simplifies API key management and switching between models.
**Minor Updates & Improvements:**
* **LXML Scraping Mode:** Faster HTML parsing with `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy`.
* **Proxy Rotation:** Added `ProxyRotationStrategy` with a `RoundRobinProxyStrategy` implementation.
* **PDF Processing:** Extract text, images, and metadata from PDF files.
* **URL Redirection Tracking:** Automatically follows and records redirects.
* **Robots.txt Compliance:** Optionally respect website crawling rules.
* **LLM-Powered Schema Generation:** Automatically create extraction schemas using an LLM.
* **`LLMContentFilter`:** Generate high-quality, focused markdown using an LLM.
* **Improved Error Handling & Stability:** Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements.
* **Enhanced Documentation:** Updated guides and examples.
**Breaking Changes & Migration:**
This release includes several breaking changes to improve the library's structure and consistency. Here's what you need to know:
* **`arun_many()` Behavior:** Now uses the `MemoryAdaptiveDispatcher` by default. The return type depends on the `stream` parameter in `CrawlerRunConfig`. Adjust code that relied on unbounded concurrency.
* **`max_depth` Location:** Moved to `CrawlerRunConfig` and now controls *crawl depth*.
* **Deep Crawling Imports:** Import `DeepCrawlStrategy` and related classes from `crawl4ai.deep_crawling`.
* **`BrowserContext` API:** Updated; the old `get_context` method is deprecated.
* **Optional Model Fields:** Many data model fields are now optional. Handle potential `None` values.
* **`ScrapingMode` Enum:** Replaced with strategy pattern (`WebScrapingStrategy`, `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy`).
* **`content_filter` Parameter:** Removed from `CrawlerRunConfig`. Use extraction strategies or markdown generators with filters.
* **Removed Functionality:** The synchronous `WebCrawler`, the old CLI, and docs management tools have been removed.
* **Docker:** Significant changes to deployment. See the [Docker documentation](../deploy/docker/README.md).
* **`ssl_certificate.json`:** This file has been removed.
* **Config**: FastFilterChain has been replaced with FilterChain
* **Deep-Crawl**: DeepCrawlStrategy.arun now returns Union[CrawlResultT, List[CrawlResultT], AsyncGenerator[CrawlResultT, None]]
* **Proxy**: Removed synchronous WebCrawler support and related rate limiting configurations
* **LLM Parameters:** Use the new `LLMConfig` object instead of passing `provider`, `api_token`, `base_url`, and `api_base` directly to `LLMExtractionStrategy` and `LLMContentFilter`.
**In short:** Update imports, adjust `arun_many()` usage, check for optional fields, and review the Docker deployment guide.

# 🚀 Crawl4AI v0.7.0: The Adaptive Intelligence Update
*January 28, 2025 • 10 min read*
---
Today I'm releasing Crawl4AI v0.7.0—the Adaptive Intelligence Update. This release introduces fundamental improvements in how Crawl4AI handles modern web complexity through adaptive learning, intelligent content discovery, and advanced extraction capabilities.
## 🎯 What's New at a Glance
- **Adaptive Crawling**: Your crawler now learns and adapts to website patterns
- **Virtual Scroll Support**: Complete content extraction from infinite scroll pages
- **Link Preview with Intelligent Scoring**: Intelligent link analysis and prioritization
- **Async URL Seeder**: Discover thousands of URLs in seconds with intelligent filtering
- **Performance Optimizations**: Significant speed and memory improvements
## 🧠 Adaptive Crawling: Intelligence Through Pattern Learning
**The Problem:** Websites change. Class names shift. IDs disappear. Your carefully crafted selectors break at 3 AM, and you wake up to empty datasets and angry stakeholders.
**My Solution:** I implemented an adaptive learning system that observes patterns, builds confidence scores, and adjusts extraction strategies on the fly. It's like having a junior developer who gets better at their job with every page they scrape.
### Technical Deep-Dive
The Adaptive Crawler maintains a persistent state for each domain, tracking:
- Pattern success rates
- Selector stability over time
- Content structure variations
- Extraction confidence scores
```python
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, AdaptiveCrawler, AdaptiveConfig
import asyncio
async def main():
# Configure adaptive crawler
config = AdaptiveConfig(
strategy="statistical", # or "embedding" for semantic understanding
max_pages=10,
confidence_threshold=0.7, # Stop at 70% confidence
top_k_links=3, # Follow top 3 links per page
min_gain_threshold=0.05 # Need 5% information gain to continue
)
async with AsyncWebCrawler(verbose=False) as crawler:
adaptive = AdaptiveCrawler(crawler, config)
print("Starting adaptive crawl about Python decorators...")
result = await adaptive.digest(
start_url="https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html",
query="python decorators functions wrapping"
)
print(f"\n✅ Crawling Complete!")
print(f"• Confidence Level: {adaptive.confidence:.0%}")
print(f"• Pages Crawled: {len(result.crawled_urls)}")
print(f"• Knowledge Base: {len(adaptive.state.knowledge_base)} documents")
# Get most relevant content
relevant = adaptive.get_relevant_content(top_k=3)
print(f"\nMost Relevant Pages:")
for i, page in enumerate(relevant, 1):
print(f"{i}. {page['url']} (relevance: {page['score']:.2%})")
asyncio.run(main())
```
**Expected Real-World Impact:**
- **News Aggregation**: Maintain 95%+ extraction accuracy even as news sites update their templates
- **E-commerce Monitoring**: Track product changes across hundreds of stores without constant maintenance
- **Research Data Collection**: Build robust academic datasets that survive website redesigns
- **Reduced Maintenance**: Cut selector update time by 80% for frequently-changing sites
## 🌊 Virtual Scroll: Complete Content Capture
**The Problem:** Modern web apps only render what's visible. Scroll down, new content appears, old content vanishes into the void. Traditional crawlers capture that first viewport and miss 90% of the content. It's like reading only the first page of every book.
**My Solution:** I built Virtual Scroll support that mimics human browsing behavior, capturing content as it loads and preserving it before the browser's garbage collector strikes.
### Implementation Details
```python
from crawl4ai import VirtualScrollConfig
# For social media feeds (Twitter/X style)
twitter_config = VirtualScrollConfig(
container_selector="[data-testid='primaryColumn']",
scroll_count=20, # Number of scrolls
scroll_by="container_height", # Smart scrolling by container size
wait_after_scroll=1.0 # Let content load
)
# For e-commerce product grids (Instagram style)
grid_config = VirtualScrollConfig(
container_selector="main .product-grid",
scroll_count=30,
scroll_by=800, # Fixed pixel scrolling
wait_after_scroll=1.5 # Images need time
)
# For news feeds with lazy loading
news_config = VirtualScrollConfig(
container_selector=".article-feed",
scroll_count=50,
scroll_by="page_height", # Viewport-based scrolling
wait_after_scroll=0.5 # Wait for content to load
)
# Use it in your crawl
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://twitter.com/trending",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
virtual_scroll_config=twitter_config,
# Combine with other features
extraction_strategy=JsonCssExtractionStrategy({
"tweets": {
"selector": "[data-testid='tweet']",
"fields": {
"text": {"selector": "[data-testid='tweetText']", "type": "text"},
"likes": {"selector": "[data-testid='like']", "type": "text"}
}
}
})
)
)
print(f"Captured {len(result.extracted_content['tweets'])} tweets")
```
**Key Capabilities:**
- **DOM Recycling Awareness**: Detects and handles virtual DOM element recycling
- **Smart Scroll Physics**: Three modes - container height, page height, or fixed pixels
- **Content Preservation**: Captures content before it's destroyed
- **Intelligent Stopping**: Stops when no new content appears
- **Memory Efficient**: Streams content instead of holding everything in memory
**Expected Real-World Impact:**
- **Social Media Analysis**: Capture entire Twitter threads with hundreds of replies, not just top 10
- **E-commerce Scraping**: Extract 500+ products from infinite scroll catalogs vs. 20-50 with traditional methods
- **News Aggregation**: Get all articles from modern news sites, not just above-the-fold content
- **Research Applications**: Complete data extraction from academic databases using virtual pagination
## 🔗 Link Preview: Intelligent Link Analysis and Scoring
**The Problem:** You crawl a page and get 200 links. Which ones matter? Which lead to the content you actually want? Traditional crawlers force you to follow everything or build complex filters.
**My Solution:** I implemented a three-layer scoring system that analyzes links like a human would—considering their position, context, and relevance to your goals.
### Intelligent Link Analysis and Scoring
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig, CacheMode, AsyncWebCrawler
from crawl4ai.adaptive_crawler import LinkPreviewConfig
async def main():
# Configure intelligent link analysis
link_config = LinkPreviewConfig(
include_internal=True,
include_external=False,
max_links=10,
concurrency=5,
query="python tutorial", # For contextual scoring
score_threshold=0.3,
verbose=True
)
# Use in your crawl
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
link_preview_config=link_config,
score_links=True, # Enable intrinsic scoring
cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS
)
)
# Access scored and sorted links
if result.success and result.links:
for link in result.links.get("internal", []):
text = link.get('text', 'No text')[:40]
print(
text,
f"{link.get('intrinsic_score', 0):.1f}/10" if link.get('intrinsic_score') is not None else "0.0/10",
f"{link.get('contextual_score', 0):.2f}/1" if link.get('contextual_score') is not None else "0.00/1",
f"{link.get('total_score', 0):.3f}" if link.get('total_score') is not None else "0.000"
)
asyncio.run(main())
```
**Scoring Components:**
1. **Intrinsic Score**: Based on link quality indicators
- Position on page (navigation, content, footer)
- Link attributes (rel, title, class names)
- Anchor text quality and length
- URL structure and depth
2. **Contextual Score**: Relevance to your query using BM25 algorithm
- Keyword matching in link text and title
- Meta description analysis
- Content preview scoring
3. **Total Score**: Combined score for final ranking
**Expected Real-World Impact:**
- **Research Efficiency**: Find relevant papers 10x faster by following only high-score links
- **Competitive Analysis**: Automatically identify important pages on competitor sites
- **Content Discovery**: Build topic-focused crawlers that stay on track
- **SEO Audits**: Identify and prioritize high-value internal linking opportunities
## 🎣 Async URL Seeder: Automated URL Discovery at Scale
**The Problem:** You want to crawl an entire domain but only have the homepage. Or worse, you want specific content types across thousands of pages. Manual URL discovery? That's a job for machines, not humans.
**My Solution:** I built Async URL Seeder—a turbocharged URL discovery engine that combines multiple sources with intelligent filtering and relevance scoring.
### Technical Architecture
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import AsyncUrlSeeder, SeedingConfig
async def main():
async with AsyncUrlSeeder() as seeder:
# Discover Python tutorial URLs
config = SeedingConfig(
source="sitemap", # Use sitemap
pattern="*python*", # URL pattern filter
extract_head=True, # Get metadata
query="python tutorial", # For relevance scoring
scoring_method="bm25",
score_threshold=0.2,
max_urls=10
)
print("Discovering Python async tutorial URLs...")
urls = await seeder.urls("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/", config)
print(f"\n✅ Found {len(urls)} relevant URLs:")
for i, url_info in enumerate(urls[:5], 1):
print(f"\n{i}. {url_info['url']}")
if url_info.get('relevance_score'):
print(f" Relevance: {url_info['relevance_score']:.3f}")
if url_info.get('head_data', {}).get('title'):
print(f" Title: {url_info['head_data']['title'][:60]}...")
asyncio.run(main())
```
**Discovery Methods:**
- **Sitemap Mining**: Parses robots.txt and all linked sitemaps
- **Common Crawl**: Queries the Common Crawl index for historical URLs
- **Intelligent Crawling**: Follows links with smart depth control
- **Pattern Analysis**: Learns URL structures and generates variations
**Expected Real-World Impact:**
- **Migration Projects**: Discover 10,000+ URLs from legacy sites in under 60 seconds
- **Market Research**: Map entire competitor ecosystems automatically
- **Academic Research**: Build comprehensive datasets without manual URL collection
- **SEO Audits**: Find every indexable page with content scoring
- **Content Archival**: Ensure no content is left behind during site migrations
## ⚡ Performance Optimizations
This release includes significant performance improvements through optimized resource handling, better concurrency management, and reduced memory footprint.
### What We Optimized
```python
# Optimized crawling with v0.7.0 improvements
results = []
for url in urls:
result = await crawler.arun(
url,
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
# Performance optimizations
wait_until="domcontentloaded", # Faster than networkidle
cache_mode=CacheMode.ENABLED # Enable caching
)
)
results.append(result)
```
**Performance Gains:**
- **Startup Time**: 70% faster browser initialization
- **Page Loading**: 40% reduction with smart resource blocking
- **Extraction**: 3x faster with compiled CSS selectors
- **Memory Usage**: 60% reduction with streaming processing
- **Concurrent Crawls**: Handle 5x more parallel requests
## 🔧 Important Changes
### Breaking Changes
- `link_extractor` renamed to `link_preview` (better reflects functionality)
- Minimum Python version now 3.9
- `CrawlerConfig` split into `CrawlerRunConfig` and `BrowserConfig`
### Migration Guide
```python
# Old (v0.6.x)
from crawl4ai import CrawlerConfig
config = CrawlerConfig(timeout=30000)
# New (v0.7.0)
from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig, BrowserConfig
browser_config = BrowserConfig(timeout=30000)
run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS)
```

## 6. Scraping Modes
Crawl4AI provides two different scraping strategies for HTML content processing: `WebScrapingStrategy` (BeautifulSoup-based, default) and `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy` (LXML-based). The LXML strategy offers significantly better performance, especially for large HTML documents.
Crawl4AI uses `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy` (LXML-based) as the default scraping strategy for HTML content processing. This strategy offers excellent performance, especially for large HTML documents.
**Note:** For backward compatibility, `WebScrapingStrategy` is still available as an alias for `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy`.

### Performance Considerations
The LXML strategy can be up to 10-20x faster than BeautifulSoup strategy, particularly when processing large HTML documents. However, please note:
The LXML strategy provides excellent performance, particularly when processing large HTML documents, offering up to 10-20x faster processing compared to BeautifulSoup-based approaches.
1. LXML strategy is currently experimental
2. In some edge cases, the parsing results might differ slightly from BeautifulSoup
3. If you encounter any inconsistencies between LXML and BeautifulSoup results, please [raise an issue](https://github.com/codeium/crawl4ai/issues) with a reproducible example
Benefits of LXML strategy:
- Fast processing of large HTML documents (especially >100KB)
- Efficient memory usage
- Good handling of well-formed HTML
- Robust table detection and extraction
Choose LXML strategy when:
- Processing large HTML documents (recommended for >100KB)
- Performance is critical
- Working with well-formed HTML
### Backward Compatibility
Stick to BeautifulSoup strategy (default) when:
- Maximum compatibility is needed
- Working with malformed HTML
- Exact parsing behavior is critical
For users upgrading from earlier versions:
- `WebScrapingStrategy` is now an alias for `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy`
- Existing code using `WebScrapingStrategy` will continue to work without modification
- No changes are required to your existing code

### 5.3 `screenshot`, `pdf`, and `mhtml`
### 5.3 `tables`
The `tables` field contains structured data extracted from HTML tables found on the crawled page. Tables are analyzed based on various criteria to determine if they are actual data tables (as opposed to layout tables), including:
- Presence of thead and tbody sections
- Use of th elements for headers
- Column consistency
- Text density
- And other factors
Tables that score above the threshold (default: 7) are extracted and stored in result.tables.
### Accessing Table data:
```python
import asyncio
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig
async def main():
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(

# Print first few rows as example
for j, row in enumerate(table['rows'][:3]):
print(f" Row {j+1}: {row}")
if __name__ == "__main__":

### Configuring Table Extraction:
You can adjust the sensitivity of the table detection algorithm with:
```python
config = CrawlerRunConfig(
table_score_threshold=5 # Lower value = more tables detected (default: 7)
)
```
Each extracted table contains:
- `headers`: Column header names
- `rows`: List of rows, each containing cell values
- `caption`: Table caption text (if available)
- `summary`: Table summary attribute (if specified)
### Table Extraction Tips
- Not all HTML tables are extracted - only those detected as "data tables" vs. layout tables.
- Tables with inconsistent cell counts, nested tables, or those used purely for layout may be skipped.
- If you're missing tables, try adjusting the `table_score_threshold` to a lower value (default is 7).
The table detection algorithm scores tables based on features like consistent columns, presence of headers, text density, and more. Tables scoring above the threshold are considered data tables worth extracting.

# WebScrapingStrategy Migration Guide
## Overview
Crawl4AI has simplified its content scraping architecture. The BeautifulSoup-based `WebScrapingStrategy` has been deprecated in favor of the faster LXML-based implementation. However, **no action is required** - your existing code will continue to work.
## What Changed?
1. **`WebScrapingStrategy` is now an alias** for `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy`
2. **The BeautifulSoup implementation has been removed** (~1000 lines of redundant code)
3. **`LXMLWebScrapingStrategy` inherits directly** from `ContentScrapingStrategy`
4. **Performance remains optimal** with LXML as the sole implementation
## Backward Compatibility
**Your existing code continues to work without any changes:**
```python
# This still works perfectly
from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig, WebScrapingStrategy
config = CrawlerRunConfig(
scraping_strategy=WebScrapingStrategy() # Works as before
)
```
## Migration Options
You have three options:
### Option 1: Do Nothing (Recommended)
Your code will continue to work. `WebScrapingStrategy` is permanently aliased to `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy`.
### Option 2: Update Imports (Optional)
For clarity, you can update your imports:
```python
# Old (still works)
from crawl4ai import WebScrapingStrategy
strategy = WebScrapingStrategy()
# New (more explicit)
from crawl4ai import LXMLWebScrapingStrategy
strategy = LXMLWebScrapingStrategy()
```
### Option 3: Use Default Configuration
Since `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy` is the default, you can omit the strategy parameter:
```python
# Simplest approach - uses LXMLWebScrapingStrategy by default
config = CrawlerRunConfig()
```
## Type Hints
If you use type hints, both work:
```python
from crawl4ai import WebScrapingStrategy, LXMLWebScrapingStrategy
def process_with_strategy(strategy: WebScrapingStrategy) -> None:
# Works with both WebScrapingStrategy and LXMLWebScrapingStrategy
pass
# Both are valid
process_with_strategy(WebScrapingStrategy())
process_with_strategy(LXMLWebScrapingStrategy())
```
## Subclassing
If you've subclassed `WebScrapingStrategy`, it continues to work:
```python
class MyCustomStrategy(WebScrapingStrategy):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
# Your custom code
```
## Performance Benefits
By consolidating to LXML:
- **10-20x faster** HTML parsing for large documents
- **Lower memory usage**
- **Consistent behavior** across all use cases
- **Simplified maintenance** and bug fixes
## Summary
This change simplifies Crawl4AI's internals while maintaining 100% backward compatibility. Your existing code continues to work, and you get better performance automatically.
