relativeStartDatestringOptional
Optional: Select relative start date by which to filter pages. Any post published before this date will be excluded. This is calculated relative to the time the crawler is run (eg: '2 weeks' would include posts from 2 weeks ago to now). Format in format 'X days' or 'X weeks' or 'X months' or 'X years'. If no time period is passed in, it will be treated as a number of seconds.
startDatestringOptional
Optional: Select start date by which to filter pages. Any post published before this date will be excluded. Format in format YYYY-MM-DD
dateSelectorstringOptional
Optional: CSS Selector to identify where the date is located on the page. This can make the date filtering more accurate if we don't get it right on the first round. You should use this if there's multiple dates on the page.
includeResultsWithNoDatebooleanOptional
Optional: If true, the crawler will include results where no date was detected on the page.
Default value of this property is false
waitForSelectorstringOptional
CSS Selector to wait for for page load. Useful when content on the page loads asynchronously. This is optional and in most cases won't be needed.
removeElementsCssSelectorstringOptional
Optional: CSS Selector to identify elements to remove from the page. This is useful for removing elements that are not needed for the content. For example, you can remove the header and footer of the page.
Default value of this property is "nav, footer, script, style, noscript, svg, img[src^='data:'],\n[role=\"alert\"],\n[role=\"banner\"],\n[role=\"dialog\"],\n[role=\"alertdialog\"],\n[role=\"region\"][aria-label*=\"skip\" i],\n[aria-modal=\"true\"]"
requestTimeoutSecsintegerOptional
Optional: How long the crawler will wait for a request to complete. Default is 60 seconds.
Default value of this property is 60
dynamicContentWaitSecsintegerOptional
Optional: Used in conjunction with waitForSelector. How long the crawler will wait for the selector to appear. Default is 10 seconds.

crawlerTypeEnumOptional
Select the crawler type to use. Adaptive crawlers run faster by automatically switching between raw http and browser requests. Firefox is less likely to be blocked by websites but may ocassionally fail in comparison to chrome. NOTE: You cannot use the adaptive crawler options with the 'filter by document last modified' option.

Same Hostname: Selects URLs that have the same hostname (does not include subdomains).
