ProxyConfig

Proxy configuration for HTTP requests.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`url`	`str`	—	Proxy URL (e.g. “http://proxy:8080", “socks5://proxy:1080”).
`username`	`str \| None`	`None`	Optional username for proxy authentication.
`password`	`str \| None`	`None`	Optional password for proxy authentication.

ContentConfig

Content extraction and conversion configuration.

Controls how HTML is converted to the output format. Uses html-to-markdown-rs as the conversion engine for all formats (markdown, plain text, djot).

Field	Type	Default	Description
`output_format`	`str`	`"markdown"`	Output format: `"markdown"` (default), `"plain"`, `"djot"`.
`preprocessing_preset`	`str`	`"standard"`	Preprocessing aggressiveness: `"minimal"`, `"standard"` (default), `"aggressive"`. - Minimal: only scripts/styles removed. - Standard: also removes nav, nav-hinted headers/footers/asides, forms. - Aggressive: removes all footers/asides unconditionally.
`remove_navigation`	`bool`	`True`	Remove navigation elements (nav, breadcrumbs, menus). Default: `True`.
`remove_forms`	`bool`	`True`	Remove form elements. Default: `True`.
`strip_tags`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	HTML tag names to strip (render children only, remove the tag wrapper). Default: `\["noscript"\]`.
`preserve_tags`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	HTML tag names to preserve as raw HTML in output.
`exclude_selectors`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	CSS selectors for elements to exclude entirely (element + all content). Unlike `strip_tags` (which removes the wrapper but keeps children), excluded elements and all descendants are dropped. Supports CSS selectors: `.class`, `#id`, `\[attribute\]`, compound selectors. Example: `\[".cookie-banner", "#ad-container", "\[role='complementary'\]"\]`
`skip_images`	`bool`	`False`	Skip image elements in output. Default: `False`.
`max_depth`	`int \| None`	`None`	Max DOM traversal depth. Prevents stack overflow on deeply nested HTML.
`wrap`	`bool`	`False`	Enable line wrapping. Default: `False`.
`wrap_width`	`int`	`80`	Wrap width when `wrap` is enabled. Default: `80`.
`include_document_structure`	`bool`	`True`	Include document structure tree in output. Default: `True`.

BrowserConfig

Browser fallback configuration.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`mode`	`BrowserMode`	`BrowserMode.AUTO`	When to use the headless browser fallback.
`backend`	`BrowserBackend`	`BrowserBackend.CHROMIUMOXIDE`	Browser backend used to render JavaScript-heavy pages.
`endpoint`	`str \| None`	`None`	CDP WebSocket endpoint for connecting to an external browser instance.
`timeout`	`float`	`30000ms`	Timeout for browser page load and rendering (in milliseconds when serialized).
`wait`	`BrowserWait`	`BrowserWait.NETWORK_IDLE`	Wait strategy after browser navigation.
`wait_selector`	`str \| None`	`None`	CSS selector to wait for when `wait` is `Selector`.
`extra_wait`	`float \| None`	`None`	Extra time to wait after the wait condition is met.
`proxy`	`ProxyConfig \| None`	`None`	Proxy for browser fetches. Overrides `CrawlConfig.proxy` when set. Native backend supports http/https only (no SOCKS5).
`block_url_patterns`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	URL patterns to block before the network request fires. Supports `*` wildcards. Useful for skipping ads/analytics/large images. Honored by `BrowserBackend.Native`; chromiumoxide ignores this field today.
`eval_script`	`str \| None`	`None`	JavaScript snippet evaluated after navigation completes. Scraping captures the native backend result in `ScrapeResult.browser.eval_result`. Interactions run this script before page actions on both browser backends but do not include the script result in `InteractionResult`.
`robots_user_agent`	`str \| None`	`None`	User-agent used when fetching robots.txt. Defaults to `BrowserConfig.user_agent` (or crawlberg’s default) if unset. Native only.
`capture_network_events`	`bool`	`False`	Capture the full network event stream into the result. Default false (only the document event is captured). Native only.
`session_affinity`	`bool`	`True`	Enable session affinity: reuse chromiumoxide Pages for same-domain requests so cookies + fingerprint + solved challenges persist. Default: true. When false, each request gets a fresh Page.

CrawlConfig

Configuration for crawl, scrape, and map operations.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`max_depth`	`int \| None`	`None`	Maximum crawl depth (number of link hops from the start URL).
`max_pages`	`int \| None`	`None`	Maximum number of pages to crawl.
`max_links_per_page`	`int \| None`	`None`	Maximum links enqueued from a single page. Defaults to 10000. Bounds the work one hostile or pathological page can create; links past the cap are dropped and a warning is logged.
`max_concurrent`	`int \| None`	`None`	Maximum number of concurrent requests.
`respect_robots_txt`	`bool`	`False`	Whether to respect robots.txt directives.
`soft_http_errors`	`bool`	`False`	When true, HTTP-level error responses (404 NotFound, 403 Forbidden, WAF blocks) are surfaced as `ScrapeResult` records with the matching `status_code` rather than raised as `CrawlError`. Default `False` preserves the historical throw-on-error contract for direct fetches. Independently of this flag, 404s reached at the end of a redirect chain are always surfaced softly — the user opted into redirect-following, so receiving a 404 there is part of the normal flow rather than an unexpected error.
`user_agent`	`str \| None`	`None`	Custom user-agent string.
`stay_on_domain`	`bool`	`False`	Whether to restrict crawling to the same domain.
`allow_subdomains`	`bool`	`False`	Whether to allow subdomains when `stay_on_domain` is true.
`include_paths`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	Regex patterns for paths to include during crawling.
`exclude_paths`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	Regex patterns for paths to exclude during crawling.
`custom_headers`	`dict\[str, str\]`	`{}`	Custom HTTP headers to send with each request.
`request_timeout`	`float`	`30000ms`	Timeout for individual HTTP requests (in milliseconds when serialized).
`rate_limit_ms`	`int \| None`	`None`	Per-domain rate limit in milliseconds. When set, enforces a minimum delay between requests to the same domain. Defaults to 200ms when `None`.
`max_redirects`	`int`	`10`	Maximum number of redirects to follow.
`retry_count`	`int`	`0`	Number of retry attempts for failed requests.
`retry_codes`	`list\[int\]`	`\[\]`	HTTP status codes that should trigger a retry.
`cookies_enabled`	`bool`	`False`	Whether to enable cookie handling.
`auth`	`AuthConfig \| None`	`None`	Authentication configuration.
`max_body_size`	`int \| None`	`None`	Maximum response body size in bytes.
`remove_tags`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	CSS selectors for tags to remove from HTML before processing.
`content`	`ContentConfig`	—	Content extraction and conversion configuration.
`map_limit`	`int \| None`	`None`	Maximum number of URLs to return from a map operation.
`map_search`	`str \| None`	`None`	Search filter for map results (case-insensitive substring match on URLs).
`download_assets`	`bool`	`False`	Whether to download assets (CSS, JS, images, etc.) from the page.
`asset_types`	`list\[AssetCategory\]`	`\[\]`	Filter for asset categories to download.
`max_asset_size`	`int \| None`	`None`	Maximum size in bytes for individual asset downloads.
`browser`	`BrowserConfig`	—	Browser configuration.
`proxy`	`ProxyConfig \| None`	`None`	Proxy configuration for HTTP requests.
`user_agents`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	List of user-agent strings for rotation. If non-empty, overrides `user_agent`.
`capture_screenshot`	`bool`	`False`	Whether to capture a screenshot when using the browser. Only supported by `scrape()` with `BrowserBackend.Chromiumoxide` and `BrowserMode.Always` or `Stealth`. A screenshot is 100–500 KB of PNG per page, so `crawl()` does not carry screenshots in `CrawlPageResult`/`CrawlResult` at all — a multi-thousand-page crawl holding one per page in memory is not a safe default. Setting this with any other configuration (a different backend, `BrowserMode.Auto`/`Never`, or during `crawl()`) has no effect and logs a warning rather than silently doing nothing.
`follow_document_urls`	`bool`	`False`	Re-enqueue discovered `LinkType.Document` URLs into the crawl frontier so the crawl follows links from document pages (PDFs, etc.) as it would from HTML pages. Default: `False` (documents terminate at materialisation).
`document_url_depth`	`int \| None`	`None`	Maximum document-depth (from the seed URL through document links only) when `follow_document_urls` is true. `None` means inherit `max_depth`. Independent of `max_depth`: a document URL is enqueued only if BOTH the outer `max_depth` and (if set) `document_url_depth` permit it.
`download_documents`	`bool`	`True`	Whether to download non-HTML documents (PDF, DOCX, images, code, etc.) instead of skipping them. Defaults to `True` — unlike `download_assets` and `capture_screenshot`, which default to `False`.
`document_max_size`	`int \| None`	`52428800`	Maximum size in bytes for document downloads. Defaults to 50 MB.
`document_mime_types`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	Allowlist of MIME types to download. If empty, uses built-in defaults.
`document_output_dir`	`str \| None`	`None`	Directory to stream downloaded document bytes into instead of holding them in memory on `DownloadedDocument.content`. When set, `content` is left empty and `DownloadedDocument.content_path` is populated with `<dir>/<content_hash>.<ext>`. `None` (default) preserves today’s in-memory-only behavior. Has no effect on wasm32, which has no filesystem — use `document_content_encoding` there instead.
`document_content_encoding`	`DocumentContentEncoding \| None`	`None`	Opt-in encoding that duplicates `DownloadedDocument.content` into a serializable field for language bindings that need the bytes in-memory (`content` itself is `alef(skip)`ed). `None` (default) means no encoding is produced. Independent of `document_output_dir` — set both to get a file on disk and an in-memory copy.
`warc_output`	`str \| None`	`None`	Path to write WARC output. If `None`, WARC output is disabled.
`browser_profile`	`str \| None`	`None`	Named browser profile for persistent sessions (cookies, localStorage). Chromiumoxide backend only. The native backend runs an in-process JavaScript engine with no Chrome process and therefore no profile directory, so this is ignored there and logs a warning. It is also ignored — with a warning — when a shared browser pool is in use (the pool launches before any per-crawl config exists) or when connecting to an external CDP endpoint whose process crawlberg does not own.
`save_browser_profile`	`bool`	`False`	Whether to save changes back to the browser profile on exit.
`ssrf`	`SsrfPolicy`	—	SSRF policy for outbound network requests. Default: deny private networks, allow http/https only, max 5 redirects. `deny_private`, `allowlist` and `max_redirects` are exposed to all language bindings. `scheme_allowlist` stays Rust-only — see `SsrfPolicy`. wasm32 (including Node.js): `deny_private` does not stop hostname-based requests. There is no DNS resolution on this target, so only a literal IP host is checked against the policy — a domain name is always permitted, regardless of `deny_private`. Under Node, where `fetch` enforces no CORS, this means a service embedding the wasm binding can be driven to internal hosts by domain name even with `deny_private = true`. Enforce egress restrictions at the network layer for that deployment target; do not rely on this field. See `crawlberg.net.validate_url`.
`ssrf_deny_private_explicit`	`bool \| None`	`None`	Pins `SsrfPolicy.deny_private` to a caller-chosen value, bypassing the `CRAWLBERG_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK` operator override entirely for this config. `ssrf.deny_private` is a plain, always-serialized `bool`: several alef-generated bindings construct `SsrfPolicy.default()` (hardcoding `deny_private: true`) whenever their caller never touches SSRF settings at all, so `True` on that field alone cannot distinguish “the caller wants private networks denied” from “the binding’s own structural default landed on `True`”. The environment variable exists precisely to resolve that ambiguity in the common case by treating any `True` as inconclusive and deferring to the operator. Set this field when that default-deferral is wrong for your call — e.g. a test that must prove `deny_private: true` still denies even while the operator has set `CRAWLBERG_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK` suite-wide for every other call. `None` (default) preserves today’s behavior: the environment variable may still flip `ssrf.deny_private` to `False`. `Some(value)` pins `ssrf.deny_private` to `value` and the environment variable is not consulted for this config.

CrawlStreamRequest

Request to begin a single-URL streaming crawl.

Wraps a single seed URL for delivery through the streaming-adapter binding surface. Required as a struct because alef’s streaming adapter requires a named request type — primitives are not supported.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`url`	`str`	—	The seed URL to crawl.

BatchCrawlStreamRequest

Request to begin a multi-URL streaming crawl.

Wraps a set of seed URLs for delivery through the streaming-adapter binding surface. Required as a struct because alef’s streaming adapter requires a named request type — primitives are not supported.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`urls`	`list\[str\]`	`\[\]`	The seed URLs to crawl. Each URL is followed independently up to the engine’s configured depth.

CitationResult

Result of citation conversion.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`content`	`str`	—	Markdown with links replaced by numbered citations.
`references`	`list\[CitationReference\]`	`\[\]`	Numbered reference list: (index, url, text).

CitationReference

A single numbered reference in a citation list — produced by the citation extractor when content uses inline [N]-style markers.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`index`	`int`	—	1-based reference number as it appears in the source text.
`url`	`str`	—	Resolved absolute URL for this reference.
`text`	`str`	—	Human-readable anchor text or title for the reference.

BatchScrapeResult

Result from a single URL in a batch scrape operation.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`url`	`str`	—	The URL that was scraped.
`result`	`ScrapeResult \| None`	`None`	The scrape result, if successful.
`error`	`str \| None`	`None`	The error message, if the scrape failed.

BatchCrawlResult

Result from a single URL in a batch crawl operation.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`url`	`str`	—	The seed URL that was crawled.
`result`	`CrawlResult \| None`	`None`	The crawl result, if successful.
`error`	`str \| None`	`None`	The error message, if the crawl failed.

BatchScrapeResults

Aggregate result of a batch scrape, exposing per-URL results plus precomputed counts.

The counts are derived once at construction so every binding language can read them as plain integer fields without re-iterating the results vector.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`results`	`list\[BatchScrapeResult\]`	`\[\]`	Per-URL scrape results, in the order URLs were submitted.
`total_count`	`int`	—	Total number of URLs in the batch (equal to `results.len()`).
`completed_count`	`int`	—	Number of URLs whose scrape succeeded (`error` is `None`).
`failed_count`	`int`	—	Number of URLs whose scrape failed (`error` is `Some`).

BatchCrawlResults

Aggregate result of a batch crawl, exposing per-URL results plus precomputed counts.

The counts are derived once at construction so every binding language can read them as plain integer fields without re-iterating the results vector.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`results`	`list\[BatchCrawlResult\]`	`\[\]`	Per-URL crawl results, in the order seed URLs were submitted.
`total_count`	`int`	—	Total number of seed URLs in the batch (equal to `results.len()`).
`completed_count`	`int`	—	Number of seed URLs whose crawl succeeded (`error` is `None`).
`failed_count`	`int`	—	Number of seed URLs whose crawl failed (`error` is `Some`).

SsrfPolicy

SSRF policy configuration.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`deny_private`	`bool`	`True`	If true, reject URLs that resolve to private/metadata IP ranges.
`allowlist`	`list\[HostMatcher\]`	`\[\]`	Hostnames and IP ranges permitted regardless of `deny_private`. The allowlist is an override of `deny_private`, not an intersection with it. Precedence, in order: 1. `deny_private == false` permits everything; the allowlist is not consulted. 2. A hostname matching an `Exact` or `Suffix` entry is permitted immediately, before DNS resolution — so the deny-list is never applied to it. This trusts the host string: a name that resolves into private space is still permitted. 3. A literal or resolved IP inside a `Cidr` entry is permitted even though it is in the default deny-list. 4. Otherwise the default deny-list decides. An empty allowlist therefore denies nothing by itself — it simply leaves `deny_private` and the deny-list in sole control.
`max_redirects`	`int`	`5`	Maximum number of HTTP redirects to follow during validation.

Enums

AssetCategory

The category of a downloaded asset.

Variant	Wire value	Description
`Document`	`document`	A document file (PDF, DOC, etc.).
`Image`	`image`	An image file.
`Audio`	`audio`	An audio file.
`Video`	`video`	A video file.
`Font`	`font`	A font file.
`Stylesheet`	`stylesheet`	A CSS stylesheet.
`Script`	`script`	A JavaScript file.
`Archive`	`archive`	An archive file (ZIP, TAR, etc.).
`Data`	`data`	A data file (JSON, XML, CSV, etc.).
`Other`	`other`	An unrecognized asset type.

AuthConfig

Authentication configuration.

Variant	Wire value	Description
`Basic`	`basic`	HTTP Basic authentication. — Fields: `username`: `String`, `password`: `String`
`Bearer`	`bearer`	Bearer token authentication. — Fields: `token`: `String`
`Header`	`header`	Custom authentication header. — Fields: `name`: `String`, `value`: `String`

BrowserBackend

Browser backend used for JavaScript rendering.

Variant	Wire value	Description
`Chromiumoxide`	`chromiumoxide`	Existing Chromium/CDP backend powered by chromiumoxide.
`Native`	`native`	Crawlberg-owned native browser backend derived from Obscura.

BrowserMode

When to use the headless browser fallback.

Variant	Wire value	Description
`Auto`	`auto`	Automatically detect when JS rendering is needed and fall back to browser.
`Always`	`always`	Always use the browser for every request.
`Never`	`never`	Never use the browser fallback.
`Stealth`	`stealth`	Always use the browser with all stealth surfaces enabled. Behaves like `Always` for escalation purposes (every request is routed through the browser tier), but additionally enables: - browser JavaScript stealth patches - native-backend TLS fingerprint spoofing - stealth-aware default user-agent when no explicit UA is set - 1920×1080 viewport override Use this instead of setting the now-removed `BrowserConfig.stealth` boolean field.

BrowserWait

Wait strategy for browser page rendering.

Variant	Wire value	Description
`NetworkIdle`	`network_idle`	Wait until network activity is idle.
`Selector`	`selector`	Wait for a specific CSS selector to appear in the DOM.
`Fixed`	`fixed`	Wait for a fixed duration after navigation.

DocumentContentEncoding

Opt-in encoding applied to a downloaded document’s bytes for callers who need the content available in a serializable field rather than reading it from disk.

None (the CrawlConfig.document_content_encoding default) produces neither — unlike screenshots, base64-encoding a document by default would duplicate an already up-to-document_max_size buffer (50 MB default) in memory per document.

Variant	Wire value	Description
`Base64`	`base64`	Populate `DownloadedDocument.content_base64` with a base64-encoded copy.

FeedType

The type of a feed (RSS, Atom, or JSON Feed).

Variant	Wire value	Description
`Rss`	`rss`	RSS feed.
`Atom`	`atom`	Atom feed.
`JsonFeed`	`json_feed`	JSON Feed.

HostMatcher

Hostname/IP allowlist matcher for SSRF policy.

Serializes as an internally-tagged object so each variant is distinguishable on the wire and round-trips losslessly:

{"type": "exact",  "value": "api.example.com"}
{"type": "suffix", "value": ".example.com"}
{"type": "cidr",   "value": "10.0.0.0/8"}

A bare JSON string is still accepted on deserialization and resolves to Exact, preserving configs written against the previous untagged representation.

Exact: HostMatcher.Exact

Variant	Wire value	Description
`Exact`	`exact`	Exact hostname match (case-insensitive). — Fields: `value`: `String`
`Suffix`	`suffix`	Suffix match: “.xberg.io” matches “api.xberg.io” and “xberg.io”. — Fields: `value`: `String`
`Cidr`	`cidr`	CIDR match: “10.0.0.0/8” matches IP addresses in that range. — Fields: `value`: `String`

ImageSource

The source of an image reference.

Variant	Wire value	Description
`Img`	`img`	An `<img>` tag.
`PictureSource`	`picture_source`	A `<source>` tag inside `<picture>`.

`External`	`external`	A link to a different domain.
`Anchor`	`anchor`	A fragment-only link (e.g., `#section`).
`Document`	`document`	A link to a downloadable document (PDF, DOC, etc.).
