- Add playwright-stealth integration with enable_stealth parameter in BrowserConfig
- Merge undetected browser strategy into main async_crawler_strategy.py using adapter pattern
- Add browser adapters (BrowserAdapter, PlaywrightAdapter, UndetectedAdapter) for flexible browser switching
- Update install.py to install both playwright and patchright browsers automatically
- Add comprehensive documentation for anti-bot features (stealth mode + undetected browser)
- Create examples demonstrating stealth mode usage and comparison tests
- Update pyproject.toml and requirements.txt with patchright>=1.49.0 and other dependencies
- Remove duplicate/unused dependencies (alphashape, cssselect, pyperclip, shapely, selenium)
- Add dependency checker tool in tests/check_dependencies.py

### 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,
max_history=100,
learning_rate=0.2
)
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://news.example.com",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(adaptive_config=config)
)
# 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",
score_threshold=0.4
))
urls = await seeder.discover("https://example.com")

# 🚀 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 3-Layer Scoring**: Intelligent link analysis and prioritization
- **Async URL Seeder**: Discover thousands of URLs in seconds with intelligent filtering
- **PDF Parsing**: Extract data from PDF documents
- **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 AdaptiveCrawler, AdaptiveConfig, CrawlState
# Initialize with custom learning parameters
config = AdaptiveConfig(
confidence_threshold=0.7, # Min confidence to use learned patterns
max_history=100, # Remember last 100 crawls per domain
learning_rate=0.2, # How quickly to adapt to changes
patterns_per_page=3, # Patterns to learn per page type
extraction_strategy='css' # 'css' or 'xpath'
)
adaptive_crawler = AdaptiveCrawler(config)
# First crawl - crawler learns the structure
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://news.example.com/article/12345",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
adaptive_config=config,
extraction_hints={ # Optional hints to speed up learning
"title": "article h1",
"content": "article .body-content"
}
)
)
# Crawler identifies and stores patterns
if result.success:
state = adaptive_crawler.get_state("news.example.com")
print(f"Learned {len(state.patterns)} patterns")
print(f"Confidence: {state.avg_confidence:.2%}")
# Subsequent crawls - uses learned patterns
result2 = await crawler.arun(
"https://news.example.com/article/67890",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(adaptive_config=config)
)
# Automatically extracts using learned patterns!
```
**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
capture_method="incremental", # Capture new content on each scroll
deduplicate=True # Remove duplicate elements
)
# 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
stop_on_no_change=True # Smart stopping
)
# 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_selector=".article-card", # Wait for specific elements
timeout=30000 # Max 30 seconds total
)
# 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.
### The Three-Layer Scoring System
```python
from crawl4ai import LinkPreviewConfig
# Configure intelligent link analysis
link_config = LinkPreviewConfig(
# What to analyze
include_internal=True,
include_external=True,
max_links=100, # Analyze top 100 links
# Relevance scoring
query="machine learning tutorials", # Your interest
score_threshold=0.3, # Minimum relevance score
# Performance
concurrent_requests=10, # Parallel processing
timeout_per_link=5000, # 5s per link
# Advanced scoring weights
scoring_weights={
"intrinsic": 0.3, # Link quality indicators
"contextual": 0.5, # Relevance to query
"popularity": 0.2 # Link prominence
}
)
# Use in your crawl
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://tech-blog.example.com",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
link_preview_config=link_config,
score_links=True
)
)
# Access scored and sorted links
for link in result.links["internal"][:10]: # Top 10 internal links
print(f"Score: {link['total_score']:.3f}")
print(f" Intrinsic: {link['intrinsic_score']:.1f}/10") # Position, attributes
print(f" Contextual: {link['contextual_score']:.1f}/1") # Relevance to query
print(f" URL: {link['href']}")
print(f" Title: {link['head_data']['title']}")
print(f" Description: {link['head_data']['meta']['description'][:100]}...")
```
**Scoring Components:**
1. **Intrinsic Score (0-10)**: 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 (0-1)**: Relevance to your query
- Semantic similarity using embeddings
- Keyword matching in link text and title
- Meta description analysis
- Content preview scoring
3. **Total Score**: Weighted combination 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
from crawl4ai import AsyncUrlSeeder, SeedingConfig
# Basic discovery - find all product pages
seeder_config = SeedingConfig(
# Discovery sources
source="sitemap+cc", # Sitemap + Common Crawl
# Filtering
pattern="*/product/*", # URL pattern matching
ignore_patterns=["*/reviews/*", "*/questions/*"],
# Validation
live_check=True, # Verify URLs are alive
max_urls=5000, # Stop at 5000 URLs
# Performance
concurrency=100, # Parallel requests
hits_per_sec=10 # Rate limiting
)
seeder = AsyncUrlSeeder(seeder_config)
urls = await seeder.discover("https://shop.example.com")
# Advanced: Relevance-based discovery
research_config = SeedingConfig(
source="crawl+sitemap", # Deep crawl + sitemap
pattern="*/blog/*", # Blog posts only
# Content relevance
extract_head=True, # Get meta tags
query="quantum computing tutorials",
scoring_method="bm25", # Or "semantic" (coming soon)
score_threshold=0.4, # High relevance only
# Smart filtering
filter_nonsense_urls=True, # Remove .xml, .txt, etc.
min_content_length=500, # Skip thin content
force=True # Bypass cache
)
# Discover with progress tracking
discovered = []
async for batch in seeder.discover_iter("https://physics-blog.com", research_config):
discovered.extend(batch)
print(f"Found {len(discovered)} relevant URLs so far...")
# Results include scores and metadata
for url_data in discovered[:5]:
print(f"URL: {url_data['url']}")
print(f"Score: {url_data['score']:.3f}")
print(f"Title: {url_data['title']}")
```
**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
# Before v0.7.0 (slow)
results = []
for url in urls:
result = await crawler.arun(url)
results.append(result)
# After v0.7.0 (fast)
# Automatic batching and connection pooling
results = await crawler.arun_batch(
urls,
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
# New performance options
batch_size=10, # Process 10 URLs concurrently
reuse_browser=True, # Keep browser warm
eager_loading=False, # Load only what's needed
streaming_extraction=True, # Stream large extractions
# Optimized defaults
wait_until="domcontentloaded", # Faster than networkidle
exclude_external_resources=True, # Skip third-party assets
block_ads=True # Ad blocking built-in
)
)
# Memory-efficient streaming for large crawls
async for result in crawler.arun_stream(large_url_list):
# Process results as they complete
await process_result(result)
# Memory is freed after each iteration
```
**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
## 📄 PDF Support
PDF extraction is now natively supported in Crawl4AI.
```python
# Extract data from PDF documents
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://example.com/report.pdf",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
pdf_extraction=True,
extraction_strategy=JsonCssExtractionStrategy({
# Works on converted PDF structure
"title": {"selector": "h1", "type": "text"},
"sections": {"selector": "h2", "type": "list"}
})
)
)
```
## 🔧 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

## 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.

# 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

### [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 3-Layer Scoring**: Intelligent link analysis and prioritization
- **Async URL Seeder**: Discover thousands of URLs in seconds with intelligent filtering
- **PDF Parsing**: Extract data from PDF documents
- **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 AdaptiveCrawler, AdaptiveConfig, CrawlState
# Initialize with custom learning parameters
config = AdaptiveConfig(
confidence_threshold=0.7, # Min confidence to use learned patterns
max_history=100, # Remember last 100 crawls per domain
learning_rate=0.2, # How quickly to adapt to changes
patterns_per_page=3, # Patterns to learn per page type
extraction_strategy='css' # 'css' or 'xpath'
)
adaptive_crawler = AdaptiveCrawler(config)
# First crawl - crawler learns the structure
async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://news.example.com/article/12345",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
adaptive_config=config,
extraction_hints={ # Optional hints to speed up learning
"title": "article h1",
"content": "article .body-content"
}
)
)
# Crawler identifies and stores patterns
if result.success:
state = adaptive_crawler.get_state("news.example.com")
print(f"Learned {len(state.patterns)} patterns")
print(f"Confidence: {state.avg_confidence:.2%}")
# Subsequent crawls - uses learned patterns
result2 = await crawler.arun(
"https://news.example.com/article/67890",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(adaptive_config=config)
)
# Automatically extracts using learned patterns!
```
**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
capture_method="incremental", # Capture new content on each scroll
deduplicate=True # Remove duplicate elements
)
# 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
stop_on_no_change=True # Smart stopping
)
# 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_selector=".article-card", # Wait for specific elements
timeout=30000 # Max 30 seconds total
)
# 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.
### The Three-Layer Scoring System
```python
from crawl4ai import LinkPreviewConfig
# Configure intelligent link analysis
link_config = LinkPreviewConfig(
# What to analyze
include_internal=True,
include_external=True,
max_links=100, # Analyze top 100 links
# Relevance scoring
query="machine learning tutorials", # Your interest
score_threshold=0.3, # Minimum relevance score
# Performance
concurrent_requests=10, # Parallel processing
timeout_per_link=5000, # 5s per link
# Advanced scoring weights
scoring_weights={
"intrinsic": 0.3, # Link quality indicators
"contextual": 0.5, # Relevance to query
"popularity": 0.2 # Link prominence
}
)
# Use in your crawl
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://tech-blog.example.com",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
link_preview_config=link_config,
score_links=True
)
)
# Access scored and sorted links
for link in result.links["internal"][:10]: # Top 10 internal links
print(f"Score: {link['total_score']:.3f}")
print(f" Intrinsic: {link['intrinsic_score']:.1f}/10") # Position, attributes
print(f" Contextual: {link['contextual_score']:.1f}/1") # Relevance to query
print(f" URL: {link['href']}")
print(f" Title: {link['head_data']['title']}")
print(f" Description: {link['head_data']['meta']['description'][:100]}...")
```
**Scoring Components:**
1. **Intrinsic Score (0-10)**: 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 (0-1)**: Relevance to your query
- Semantic similarity using embeddings
- Keyword matching in link text and title
- Meta description analysis
- Content preview scoring
3. **Total Score**: Weighted combination 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
from crawl4ai import AsyncUrlSeeder, SeedingConfig
# Basic discovery - find all product pages
seeder_config = SeedingConfig(
# Discovery sources
source="sitemap+cc", # Sitemap + Common Crawl
# Filtering
pattern="*/product/*", # URL pattern matching
ignore_patterns=["*/reviews/*", "*/questions/*"],
# Validation
live_check=True, # Verify URLs are alive
max_urls=5000, # Stop at 5000 URLs
# Performance
concurrency=100, # Parallel requests
hits_per_sec=10 # Rate limiting
)
seeder = AsyncUrlSeeder(seeder_config)
urls = await seeder.discover("https://shop.example.com")
# Advanced: Relevance-based discovery
research_config = SeedingConfig(
source="crawl+sitemap", # Deep crawl + sitemap
pattern="*/blog/*", # Blog posts only
# Content relevance
extract_head=True, # Get meta tags
query="quantum computing tutorials",
scoring_method="bm25", # Or "semantic" (coming soon)
score_threshold=0.4, # High relevance only
# Smart filtering
filter_nonsense_urls=True, # Remove .xml, .txt, etc.
min_content_length=500, # Skip thin content
force=True # Bypass cache
)
# Discover with progress tracking
discovered = []
async for batch in seeder.discover_iter("https://physics-blog.com", research_config):
discovered.extend(batch)
print(f"Found {len(discovered)} relevant URLs so far...")
# Results include scores and metadata
for url_data in discovered[:5]:
print(f"URL: {url_data['url']}")
print(f"Score: {url_data['score']:.3f}")
print(f"Title: {url_data['title']}")
```
**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
# Before v0.7.0 (slow)
results = []
for url in urls:
result = await crawler.arun(url)
results.append(result)
# After v0.7.0 (fast)
# Automatic batching and connection pooling
results = await crawler.arun_batch(
urls,
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
# New performance options
batch_size=10, # Process 10 URLs concurrently
reuse_browser=True, # Keep browser warm
eager_loading=False, # Load only what's needed
streaming_extraction=True, # Stream large extractions
# Optimized defaults
wait_until="domcontentloaded", # Faster than networkidle
exclude_external_resources=True, # Skip third-party assets
block_ads=True # Ad blocking built-in
)
)
# Memory-efficient streaming for large crawls
async for result in crawler.arun_stream(large_url_list):
# Process results as they complete
await process_result(result)
# Memory is freed after each iteration
```
**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
## 📄 PDF Support
PDF extraction is now natively supported in Crawl4AI.
```python
# Extract data from PDF documents
result = await crawler.arun(
"https://example.com/report.pdf",
config=CrawlerRunConfig(
pdf_extraction=True,
extraction_strategy=JsonCssExtractionStrategy({
# Works on converted PDF structure
"title": {"selector": "h1", "type": "text"},
"sections": {"selector": "h2", "type": "list"}
})
)
)
```
## 🔧 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
