📦 What you get

🧠 How it works

1. Start from a URL
2. Crawl links within the same website
3. Capture each page (HTML + optional screenshot)
4. Continue up to your defined depth

⚔️ How this is different

Unlike traditional web scrapers, this Actor focuses on:

Capturing full page snapshots — not just extracting text

That means:

• You get complete pages, not partial data
• Better for offline browsing, archiving, and backups
• No need to configure complex extraction rules

---

💡 Use cases

• Archive a website before it changes
• Download documentation for offline use
• Save blog content for research
• Backup public websites
• Analyze site structure

---

💰 Pricing

Simple and predictable:

You only pay for successfully saved pages.

• 1 page saved = 1 billable event
• Failed or blocked pages are not counted

This makes costs easy to estimate and control.

⚙️ Example input

{
  "startUrl": "https://example.com",

⚠️ Limitations

Works best for:

• Blogs
• Documentation sites
• Marketing websites

May struggle with:

• Login-required sites

---

🧩 Tips for best results

• Start with a low depth (1–2) to test
• Increase depth gradually
• Avoid very large sites unless needed
• Use screenshots for debugging tricky pages
