* feature: Add LlmConfig to easily configure and pass LLM configs to different strategies
* pulled in next branch and resolved conflicts
* feat: Add gemini and deepseek providers. Make ignore_cache in llm content filter to true by default to avoid confusions
* Refactor: Update LlmConfig in LLMExtractionStrategy class and deprecate old params
* updated tests, docs and readme
Remove content filter related code and parameters as part of simplifying the crawler configuration. This includes:
- Removing ContentFilter import and related classes
- Removing content_filter parameter from CrawlerRunConfig
- Cleaning up LLMExtractionStrategy constructor parameters
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed content_filter parameter from CrawlerRunConfig. Users should migrate to using extraction strategies for content filtering.
Implements a new proxy rotation system with the following changes:
- Add ProxyRotationStrategy abstract base class
- Add RoundRobinProxyStrategy concrete implementation
- Integrate proxy rotation with AsyncWebCrawler
- Add proxy_rotation_strategy parameter to CrawlerRunConfig
- Add example script demonstrating proxy rotation usage
- Remove deprecated synchronous WebCrawler code
- Clean up rate limiting documentation
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed synchronous WebCrawler support and related rate limiting configurations
Enhanced markdown formatting, fixed list indentation, and improved readability across multiple API documentation files:
- arun.md
- arun_many.md
- async-webcrawler.md
- parameters.md
Changes include:
- Consistent list formatting and indentation
- Better spacing between sections
- Clearer separation of content blocks
- Fixed quotation marks and code block formatting
Add support for checking and respecting robots.txt rules before crawling websites:
- Implement RobotsParser class with SQLite caching
- Add check_robots_txt parameter to CrawlerRunConfig
- Integrate robots.txt checking in AsyncWebCrawler
- Update documentation with robots.txt compliance examples
- Add tests for robot parser functionality
The cache uses WAL mode for better concurrency and has a default TTL of 7 days.
Add comprehensive documentation for the new streaming mode feature in arun_many():
- Update arun_many() API docs to reflect streaming return type
- Add streaming examples in quickstart and multi-url guides
- Document stream parameter in configuration classes
- Add clone() helper method documentation for configs
This change improves documentation for processing large numbers of URLs efficiently.
Reorganize dispatcher functionality into separate components:
- Create dedicated dispatcher classes (MemoryAdaptive, Semaphore)
- Add RateLimiter for smart request throttling
- Implement CrawlerMonitor for real-time progress tracking
- Move dispatcher config from CrawlerRunConfig to separate classes
BREAKING CHANGE: Dispatcher configuration moved from CrawlerRunConfig to dedicated dispatcher classes. Users need to update their configuration approach for multi-URL crawling.
Reorganize documentation into core/advanced/extraction sections for better navigation.
Update terminal theme styles and add rich library for better CLI output.
Remove redundant tutorial files and consolidate content into core sections.
Add personal story to index page for project context.
BREAKING CHANGE: Documentation structure has been significantly reorganized
Major changes:
- Add browser takeover feature using CDP for authentic browsing
- Implement Docker support with full API server documentation
- Enhance Mockdown with tag preservation system
- Improve parallel crawling performance
This release focuses on authenticity and scalability, introducing the ability
to use users' own browsers while providing containerized deployment options.
Breaking changes include modified browser handling and API response structure.
See CHANGELOG.md for detailed migration guide.
