🔥🕷️ Crawl4AI: Crawl Smarter, Faster, Freely. For AI.

Crawl4AI is an Apify Actor that wraps the powerful Crawl4AI library, providing you with a feature-packed web crawler and scraper with additional functionalities like link-following and automatic retries for failed requests.

The Actor can:

• Crawl and scrape websites with precision using CSS, XPath, or LLM-based extraction methods.
• Generate clean Markdown output, suitable for RAG pipelines or direct ingestion into large language models.
• Automatically follow links to explore websites further without manual intervention.
• Retry failed requests to ensure maximum data collection with minimal effort.

Usage

Scraping with Crawl4AI is straightforward. Just follow these steps to get your data quickly:

1. Input your target URLs.
2. Set your extraction method (optional - CSS, XPath, or LLM-based).
3. Configure advanced options like proxies or session settings (optional).
4. Run the Actor to start crawling, link-following, and retrying failed requests automatically.
5. Retrieve your data in structured Markdown format for further use in your projects.

How much will it cost?

Apify provides $5 free usage credits every month on the Apify Free plan. With Crawl4AI, you can enjoy a certain number of results per month for free.

For larger data needs, consider upgrading to the $49/month Starter plan for increased monthly results volume. Or opt for the Scale plan for even higher result limits.
