Platforms count differently and update at different times.

What this skill does

It provides plain-text reference material without calling external APIs, requiring credentials, or accessing the network itself. Apply the guidance only to lawful, permissioned crawling; prefer official APIs, follow site terms and robots.txt, and avoid bypassing access controls with proxies, fingerprints, or CAPTCHA tactics.

Profile published 2026-10-29

What you can do with it

  • Consult reference material on robots.txt, crawling frameworks, or page rendering
  • Plan a crawling workflow that follows site rules
  • Compare migration considerations for Scrapy and other collection approaches

When to use it

  • When reviewing crawler concepts, troubleshooting, or compliance points and acting only on sites approved for collection

Example prompts

Generated from the skill’s documentation as examples; not results of actual runs.

Without accessing a site, make a pre-crawl checklist for robots.txt and terms.
Compare an official API with permissioned crawling without giving access-control bypass steps.

# Crawler

Web crawling and scraping reference — robots.txt protocol, Scrapy framework, anti-bot detection, headless browsers, and legal considerations. No API keys or credentials required — outputs reference documentation only.

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `intro` | Crawling vs scraping, robots.txt, sitemap |
| `standards` | HTTP caching, structured data, meta tags |
| `troubleshooting` | Anti-bot detection, JS rendering, encoding |
| `performance` | Concurrency, dedup, incremental, distributed |
| `security` | Legal landscape, ethical guidelines, proxies |
| `migration` | BeautifulSoup to Scrapy, requests to Playwright |
| `cheatsheet` | Scrapy commands, CSS/XPath, curl, user-agents |
| `faq` | Legality, JS pages, blocking, storage |

## Output Format

All commands output plain-text reference documentation via heredoc. No external API calls, no credentials needed, no network access.
