Your first crawl

From the Dashboard, click New project

Choose a template (Documentation site, Blog, Product catalog, or Single page) or start from scratch

Enter a project name and paste your target URLs — one per line

Set the crawl depth (0 = seed pages only, higher values follow internal links)

Click Next to configure advanced settings, or click Start project to begin immediately

Understanding crawl depth

Depth 0 — scrapes only the URLs you provide

Depth 1 — follows one level of internal links from your seed URLs

Depth 2+ — follows links recursively up to the depth you set

Higher depth means more pages scraped and more credits consumed.

Downloading your results

Once a crawl completes, visit the session page to download your results in multiple formats:

JSONL — one JSON document per page, ideal for embedding pipelines

CSV — tabular format for spreadsheets and ETL workflows

Markdown — LLM-optimized text using fewer tokens than raw HTML

JSON — full structured output with metadata

Plain text — raw extracted text files
