Ability to Group Crawled Page with Followed Link and Its Content in a Single Row
Hi team 👋
I’ve been using the Website Content Crawler and loving how powerful it is. However, I’ve run into a limitation
The issue:
Right now, each crawled page is output as a separate row in the dataset — which is perfect for most use cases. But in my case, I’m crawling a page (let’s call it a “job list page”), and then following a link on that page (e.g., an “apply” button).
What I need is the columns to be:
Start Page URL | Start Page Details | Followed Page URL | Followed Page Details
Rather than:
URL | Details
Why this matters:
This structure would make it much easier to use the data downstream (e.g. for training, enrichment, integrations) without needing to do post-processing outside Apify. Right now, I’d have to stitch the records together manually in a second step, which is time-consuming and error-prone.
Possible solution:
Allow a way to:
- Track relationships between pages (parent/child or source/followed).
- Pass userData between requests and merge them into one final dataset row.
- Or expose a mode that pairs “origin page + clicked page” together in a single result.
Let me know if this is something that could be added or if there’s a workaround I’ve missed.
Thanks again for all the great work on Apify 🙌
