Crawler goes off domain
Closed
What is the setting that tells the scraper to not leave the original domain? For example if I scrape a site example.com it finds a social link and then its scraping facebook.com/link but I want it to stay on example.com
Hello and thank you for your interest in this Actor!
This is the default behavior of Web Scraper, i.e., by default; it only follows the links targeting the same domain as at least one of the start URLs.
See my example run on my personal blog - while I have links to other websites (my GitHub profile, LinkedIn, or Apify homepage), the Actor doesn't visit these. To change this, you can use the Include globs input option - using this, you can set custom URL patterns to crawl.
I'll close this issue now, but feel free to ask additional questions if you have any. Cheers! (and sorry for the wait).
