Glob patterns to match links in the page that you want to enqueue. Combine with Link selector to tell the scraper where to find links. Omitting the Glob patterns will cause the scraper to enqueue all links matched by the Link selector.

URL fragments (the parts of URL after a #) are not considered when the scraper determines whether a URL has already been visited. This means that when adding URLs such as https://example.com/#foo and https://example.com/#bar, only the first will be visited. Turn this option on to tell the scraper to visit both.
If enabled, the crawler will consult the robots.txt file for the target website before crawling each page. At the moment, the crawler does not use any specific user agent identifier. The crawl-delay directive is also not supported yet.
Specifies proxy servers that will be used by the scraper in order to hide its origin.
For details, see Proxy configuration in README.
{ "useApifyProxy": true}This property indicates the strategy of proxy rotation and can only be used in conjunction with Apify Proxy. The recommended setting automatically picks the best proxies from your available pool and rotates them evenly, discarding proxies that become blocked or unresponsive. If this strategy does not work for you for any reason, you may configure the scraper to either use a new proxy for each request, or to use one proxy as long as possible, until the proxy fails. IMPORTANT: This setting will only use your available Apify Proxy pool, so if you don't have enough proxies for a given task, no rotation setting will produce satisfactory results.
Use only english alphanumeric characters dashes and underscores. A session is a representation of a user. It has it's own IP and cookies which are then used together to emulate a real user. Usage of the sessions is controlled by the Proxy rotation option. By providing a session pool name, you enable sharing of those sessions across multiple Actor runs. This is very useful when you need specific cookies for accessing the websites or when a lot of your proxies are already blocked. Instead of trying randomly, a list of working sessions will be saved and a new Actor run can reuse those sessions. Note that the IP lock on sessions expires after 24 hours, unless the session is used again in that window.
The provided cookies will be pre-set to all pages the scraper opens.
[]By default, browsers run in headless mode. You can toggle this off to run them in headful mode, which can help with certain rare anti-scraping protections but is slower and more costly.
Scraper will ignore SSL certificate errors.
Scraper will download media such as images, fonts, videos and sounds. Disabling this may speed up the scrape, but certain websites could stop working correctly.
Maximum number of times the request for the page will be retried in case of an error. Setting it to 0 means that the request will be attempted once and will not be retried if it fails.
Maximum number of pages that the scraper will open. 0 means unlimited.
Maximum number of results that will be saved to dataset. The scraper will terminate afterwards. 0 means unlimited.
Defines how many links away from the StartURLs will the scraper descend. 0 means unlimited.
Defines how many pages can be processed by the scraper in parallel. The scraper automatically increases and decreases concurrency based on available system resources. Use this option to set a hard limit.
Maximum time the scraper will allow a web page to load in seconds.
Maximum time the scraper will wait for the page function to execute in seconds.
The scraper will wait until the selected events are triggered in the page before executing the page function. Available events are domcontentloaded, load and networkidle See Playwright docs.
Using the I don't care about cookies browser extension. When on, the crawler will automatically try to dismiss cookie consent modals. This can be useful when crawling European websites that show cookie consent modals.
The crawler will scroll down the page until all content is loaded or the maximum scrolling distance is reached. Setting this to 0 disables scrolling altogether.
Debug messages will be included in the log. Use context.log.debug('message') to log your own debug messages.
Console messages from the Browser will be included in the log. This may result in the log being flooded by error messages, warnings and other messages of little value, especially with high concurrency.
This object will be available on pageFunction's context as customData.
{}Name or ID of the dataset that will be used for storing results. If left empty, the default dataset of the run will be used.
Name or ID of the key-value store that will be used for storing records. If left empty, the default key-value store of the run will be used.
Name of the request queue that will be used for storing requests. If left empty, the default request queue of the run will be used.
Operating system to use for the fingerprint generation. Can be 'windows', 'macos', 'linux', or a list to randomly choose from.
Blocks the image loading on the page. Saves bandwidth and speeds up the scraping, but might cause detection of the scraper.
Blocks WebRTC capabilities in Camoufox. Note that this might break some web applications.
Blocks WebGL capabilities in Camoufox. Note that this might break some websites.
Disables the Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy.
Calculate geo-data based on IP address. Might not fully work with Apify Proxy.
If enabled, only custom fonts (from the option fonts) are used. This will disable the default OS fonts.
