Crawl whole sites.
In one job.

From a 500-page documentation site to a 100,000-page knowledge base, the crawler walks the link graph, respects robots.txt by default, and streams clean results back to your webhook when it is done. 

curl -X POST https://api.qcrawl.com/v1/crawl \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer osk_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://docs.example.com",
    "max_pages": 500,
    "depth": 3,
    "concurrency": 10,
    "respect_robots": true,
    "webhook_url": "https://yourapp.com/qcrawl-callback"
  }'

# Returns: { "status": "queued", "job_id": "..." }

Use cases for site-wide crawling

LLM training corpora

Crawl entire documentation sites, knowledge bases, or product catalogs. Receive clean markdown for every page, ready to embed.

Competitor monitoring

Snapshot a competitor's site on a schedule. Diff structural changes, new pages, removed pages, modified pricing.

Internal search indexing

Build full-text search over content you do not own. The crawler returns a structured map of every page it discovers, ready for ingestion into your index.

Archival and compliance

Capture full-site snapshots for legal hold, regulatory archive, or pre-acquisition due diligence. Webhook delivery means no long-held connections.

Crawler questions

How big can a crawl be? ▾
The default cap is 500 pages and depth 3. You can raise both — production customers regularly crawl tens of thousands of pages per job. For million-page crawls, talk to us about enterprise capacity.
Does the crawler respect robots.txt? ▾
Yes by default. Each crawl honors the robots.txt of the target site. You can override with the respect_robots: false flag in cases where you have explicit permission to crawl, such as your own site or a partner's.
Can I scope the crawl to a single subdomain? ▾
Yes. By default the crawler stays within the same host as the seed URL. Pass same_host: false to follow links across subdomains, or use include_patterns and exclude_patterns for finer control.
How does webhook delivery work? ▾
Provide a webhook_url with the request. When the job completes, we send a single POST to your URL with the full result body and a header containing the job id. Webhooks are signed so you can verify the origin.
What happens to a crawl if I hit my monthly quota midway? ▾
The crawler pauses and returns a partial result with everything collected so far plus a quota_exceeded flag. You can upgrade your plan and resume the job with the same job id.
How fast is a crawl? ▾
Throughput depends on target site responsiveness, concurrency, and whether pages need JavaScript rendering. A typical documentation site crawls at 5-15 pages per second; aggressive crawling against single-server sites is automatically slowed to be polite.
