Browsertrix Crawler 1.x

Browsertrix Crawler is a standalone browser-based high-fidelity crawling system, designed to run a complex, customizable browser-based crawl in a single Docker container. Browsertrix Crawler uses Puppeteer to control one or more Brave Browser browser windows in parallel. Data is captured through the Chrome Devtools Protocol (CDP) in the browser.

For information on how to use and develop Browsertrix Crawler, see the hosted Browsertrix Crawler documentation.

For information on how to build the docs locally, see the docs page.

Support
