Crawling not working well

Closed

agat opened this issue

I attempted to crawl the website https://jcyared.com, setting the maximum number of pages per crawl (maxPagesPerCrawl parameter) to 20. However, I only managed to retrieve 2 pages. Could someone explain why this might have occurred?

Martin Adámek (adamek)

there are two problems in your input:

you set maxCrawlingDepth to 0, which means nothing nested will be enqueued
you set the globs to https://jcyared.com/* which means no nesting as well (as this accepts https://jcyared.com/foo but not https://jcyared.com/foo/bar), you want https://jcyared.com/** to allow multiple slashes in the URL path

The second one is the important bit. Here is a run with those two fixed, which seems to work as expected (I've aborted it after a few minutes but it went through more than 40 pages already):
