- Added examples for Amazon product data extraction methods
- Updated configuration options and enhance documentation
- Minor refactoring for improved performance and readability
- Cleaned up version control settings.
- Added markdown generator parameter to CrawlerRunConfig in `async_configs.py`.
- Implemented logic for Markdown generation in content scraping in `async_webcrawler.py`.
- Updated version number to 0.4.21 in `__version__.py`.
- Introduced a new approach for capturing full-page screenshots by exporting them as PDFs first, enhancing reliability and performance.
- Added documentation for the feature in `docs/examples/full_page_screenshot_and_pdf_export.md`.
- Refactored `perform_completion_with_backoff` in `crawl4ai/utils.py` to include necessary extra parameters.
- Updated `quickstart_async.py` to utilize LLM extraction with refined arguments.
### New Features:
- **Text-Only Mode**: Added support for text-only crawling by disabling images, JavaScript, GPU, and other non-essential features.
- **Light Mode**: Optimized browser settings to reduce resource usage and improve efficiency during crawling.
- **Dynamic Viewport Adjustment**: Automatically adjusts viewport dimensions based on content size, ensuring accurate rendering and scaling.
- **Full Page Scanning**: Introduced a feature to scroll and capture dynamic content for pages with infinite scroll or lazy-loading elements.
- **Session Management**: Added `create_session` method for creating and managing browser sessions with unique IDs.
### Improvements:
- Unified viewport handling across contexts by dynamically setting dimensions using `self.viewport_width` and `self.viewport_height`.
- Enhanced logging and error handling for viewport adjustments, page scanning, and content evaluation.
- Reduced resource usage with additional browser flags for both `light_mode` and `text_only` configurations.
- Improved handling of cookies, headers, and proxies in session creation.
### Refactoring:
- Removed hardcoded viewport dimensions and replaced them with dynamic configurations.
- Cleaned up unused and commented-out code for better readability and maintainability.
- Introduced defaults for frequently used parameters like `delay_before_return_html`.
### Fixes:
- Resolved potential inconsistencies in viewport handling.
- Improved robustness of content loading and dynamic adjustments to avoid failures and timeouts.
### Docs Update:
- Updated schema usage in `quickstart_async.py` example:
- Changed `OpenAIModelFee.schema()` to `OpenAIModelFee.model_json_schema()` for compatibility.
- Enhanced LLM extraction instruction documentation.
