addRequests: (requestsLike: readonly (string | ReadonlyObjectDeep<Partial<RequestOptions<Dictionary>> & { regex?: RegExp; requestsFromUrl?: string }> | ReadonlyObjectDeep<Request<Dictionary>>)[], options?: ReadonlyObjectDeep<RequestQueueOperationOptions>) => Promise<void>

Add requests directly to the request queue.

Type declaration

    • (requestsLike: readonly (string | ReadonlyObjectDeep<Partial<RequestOptions<Dictionary>> & { regex?: RegExp; requestsFromUrl?: string }> | ReadonlyObjectDeep<Request<Dictionary>>)[], options?: ReadonlyObjectDeep<RequestQueueOperationOptions>): Promise<void>

    • Parameters

      • requestsLike: readonly (string | ReadonlyObjectDeep<Partial<RequestOptions<Dictionary>> & { regex?: RegExp; requestsFromUrl?: string }> | ReadonlyObjectDeep<Request<Dictionary>>)[]
      • optionaloptions: ReadonlyObjectDeep<RequestQueueOperationOptions>

        Options for the request queue

      Returns Promise<void>

enqueueLinks

enqueueLinks: (options?: ReadonlyObjectDeep<Omit<EnqueueLinksOptions, requestQueue>>) => Promise<unknown>

This function automatically finds and enqueues links from the current page, adding them to the RequestQueue currently used by the crawler.

Optionally, the function allows you to filter the target links' URLs using an array of globs or regular expressions and override settings of the enqueued Request objects.

Check out the Crawl a website with relative links example for more details regarding its usage.

Example usage

async requestHandler({ enqueueLinks }) {
    await enqueueLinks({
      globs: [
          'https://www.example.com/handbags/*',
      ],
    });
},

Type declaration

    • Parameters

      • optionaloptions: ReadonlyObjectDeep<Omit<EnqueueLinksOptions, requestQueue>>

        All enqueueLinks() parameters are passed via an options object.

      Returns Promise<unknown>

getKeyValueStore

getKeyValueStore: (idOrName?: string) => Promise<Pick<KeyValueStore, id | name | getValue | getAutoSavedValue | setValue>>

Get a key-value store with given name or id, or the default one for the crawler.

Type declaration

    • (idOrName?: string): Promise<Pick<KeyValueStore, id | name | getValue | getAutoSavedValue | setValue>>

    • Parameters

      • optionalidOrName: string

      Returns Promise<Pick<KeyValueStore, id | name | getValue | getAutoSavedValue | setValue>>

    • Type parameters

      • State: Dictionary = Dictionary

      Parameters

      • optionaldefaultValue: State

      Returns Promise<State>

    Parameters

    • optionaldata: ReadonlyDeep<Dictionary | Dictionary[]>
