<details> <summary>🤓 <strong>My Personal Story</strong></summary>

I grew up on an Amstrad, thanks to my dad, and never stopped building. In grad school I specialized in NLP and built crawlers for research. That’s where I learned how much extraction matters.

In 2023, I needed web-to-Markdown. The “open source” option wanted an account, API token, and $16, and still under-delivered. I went turbo anger mode, built Crawl4AI in days, and it went viral. Now it’s the most-starred crawler on GitHub.

I made it open source for **availability**, anyone can use it without a gate. Now I’m building the platform for **affordability**, anyone can run serious crawls without breaking the bank. If that resonates, join in, send feedback, or just crawl something amazing. </details>

<details> <summary>Why developers pick Crawl4AI</summary>

- **LLM ready output**, smart Markdown with headings, tables, code, citation hints - **Fast in practice**, async browser pool, caching, minimal hops - **Full control**, sessions, proxies, cookies, user scripts, hooks - **Adaptive intelligence**, learns site patterns, explores only what matters - **Deploy anywhere**, zero keys, CLI and Docker, cloud friendly </details>

## 🚀 Quick Start

1. Install Crawl4AI: ```bash # Install the package pip install -U crawl4ai

# For pre release versions pip install crawl4ai --pre

# Run post-installation setup crawl4ai-setup

# Verify your installation crawl4ai-doctor ```

If you encounter any browser-related issues, you can install them manually: ```bash python -m playwright install --with-deps chromium ```

2. Run a simple web crawl with Python: ```python import asyncio from crawl4ai import *

async def main(): async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler: result = await crawler.arun( url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", ) print(result.markdown)

if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ```

3. Or use the new command-line interface: ```bash # Basic crawl with markdown output crwl https://www.nbcnews.com/business -o markdown

# Deep crawl with BFS strategy, max 10 pages crwl https://docs.crawl4ai.com --deep-crawl bfs --max-pages 10

# Use LLM extraction with a specific question crwl https://www.example.com/products -q "Extract all product prices" ```

## Installation 🛠️

Crawl4AI offers flexible installation options to suit various use cases. You can install it as a Python package or use Docker.

<details> <summary>🐍 <strong>Using pip</strong></summary>

Choose the installation option that best fits your needs:

### Basic Installation

For basic web crawling and scraping tasks:

```bash pip install crawl4ai crawl4ai-setup # Setup the browser ```

By default, this will install the asynchronous version of Crawl4AI, using Playwright for web crawling.

👉 **Note**: When you install Crawl4AI, the `crawl4ai-setup` should automatically install and set up Playwright. However, if you encounter any Playwright-related errors, you can manually install it using one of these methods:

1. Through the command line:

```bash playwright install ```

2. If the above doesn't work, try this more specific command:

```bash python -m playwright install chromium ```

This second method has proven to be more reliable in some cases.

---

### Installation with Synchronous Version

The sync version is deprecated and will be removed in future versions. If you need the synchronous version using Selenium:

```bash pip install crawl4ai[sync] ```

---

### Development Installation

For contributors who plan to modify the source code:

```bash git clone https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git cd crawl4ai pip install -e . # Basic installation in editable mode ```

Install optional features:

```bash pip install -e ".[torch]" # With PyTorch features pip install -e ".[transformer]" # With Transformer features pip install -e ".[cosine]" # With cosine similarity features pip install -e ".[sync]" # With synchronous crawling (Selenium) pip install -e ".[all]" # Install all optional features ```

</details>

<details> <summary>🐳 <strong>Docker Deployment</strong></summary>

</details>

<details> <summary><strong>Version 0.8.5 Release Highlights - Anti-Bot Detection, Shadow DOM & 60+ Bug Fixes</strong></summary>

Our biggest release since v0.8.0. Anti-bot detection with proxy escalation, Shadow DOM flattening, deep crawl cancellation, and over 60 bug fixes.

- **🛡️ Anti-Bot Detection & Proxy Escalation**: - 3-tier detection: known vendors, generic block indicators, structural integrity checks - Automatic retry with proxy chain and fallback fetch function ```python from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig from crawl4ai.async_configs import ProxyConfig

config = CrawlerRunConfig( proxy_config=[ProxyConfig.DIRECT, ProxyConfig(server="http://my-proxy:8080")], max_retries=2, fallback_fetch_function=my_web_unlocker, ) ```

- **🌑 Shadow DOM Flattening**: - Extract content hidden inside shadow DOM components ```python config = CrawlerRunConfig(flatten_shadow_dom=True) ```

- **🛑 Deep Crawl Cancellation**: - Stop long crawls gracefully with `cancel()` or `should_cancel` callback - Works with BFS, DFS, and BestFirst strategies

- **⚙️ Config Defaults API**: - `set_defaults()` / `get_defaults()` / `reset_defaults()` on BrowserConfig and CrawlerRunConfig

- **🔒 Critical Security Fixes**: - RCE via deserialization in Docker `/crawl` endpoint — removed `eval()`, added allowlist - Redis CVE-2025-49844 (CVSS 10.0) — upgraded to 7.2.7

- **60+ Bug Fixes** across browser management, proxy, deep crawling, extraction, CLI, and Docker

[Full v0.8.5 Release Notes →](https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai/blob/main/docs/blog/release-v0.8.5.md)

</details>

<details> <summary><strong>Version 0.8.0 Release Highlights - Crash Recovery & Prefetch Mode</strong></summary>

This release introduces crash recovery for deep crawls, a new prefetch mode for fast URL discovery, and critical security fixes for Docker deployments.

- **🔄 Deep Crawl Crash Recovery**: - `on_state_change` callback fires after each URL for real-time state persistence - `resume_state` parameter to continue from a saved checkpoint - JSON-serializable state for Redis/database storage - Works with BFS, DFS, and Best-First strategies ```python from crawl4ai.deep_crawling import BFSDeepCrawlStrategy

strategy = BFSDeepCrawlStrategy( max_depth=3, resume_state=saved_state, # Continue from checkpoint on_state_change=save_to_redis, # Called after each URL ) ```

- **⚡ Prefetch Mode for Fast URL Discovery**: - `prefetch=True` skips markdown, extraction, and media processing - 5-10x faster than full processing - Perfect for two-phase crawling: discover first, process selectively ```python config = CrawlerRunConfig(prefetch=True) result = await crawler.arun("https://example.com", config=config) # Returns HTML and links only - no markdown generation ```

- **🔒 Security Fixes (Docker API)**: - Hooks disabled by default (`CRAWL4AI_HOOKS_ENABLED=false`) - `file://` URLs blocked on API endpoints to prevent LFI - `__import__` removed from hook execution sandbox

[Full v0.8.0 Release Notes →](https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai/blob/main/docs/blog/release-v0.8.0.md)

- **🤖 LLM Extraction Improvements**: - Configurable rate limiter backoff with new `LLMConfig` parameters (#1269): ```python from crawl4ai import LLMConfig

config = LLMConfig( provider="openai/gpt-4o-mini", backoff_base_delay=5, # Wait 5s on first retry backoff_max_attempts=5, # Try up to 5 times backoff_exponential_factor=3 # Multiply delay by 3 each attempt ) ``` - HTML input format support for `LLMExtractionStrategy` (#1178): ```python from crawl4ai import LLMExtractionStrategy

strategy = LLMExtractionStrategy( llm_config=config, instruction="Extract table data", input_format="html" # Now supports: "html", "markdown", "fit_markdown" ) ``` - Fixed raw HTML URL variable - extraction strategies now receive `"Raw HTML"` instead of HTML blob (#1116)

- **🔗 URL Handling**: - Fixed relative URL resolution after JavaScript redirects (#1268) - Fixed import statement formatting in extracted code (#1181)

- **📦 Dependency Updates**: - Replaced deprecated PyPDF2 with pypdf (#1412) - Pydantic v2 ConfigDict compatibility - no more deprecation warnings (#678)

- **🧠 AdaptiveCrawler**: - Fixed query expansion to actually use LLM instead of hardcoded mock data (#1621)
