Webcrawler collector
Contents
Introduction
The webcrawler collector is included with Explorer as a standard.
Configuration
The webcrawler collector has three configuration options.
Uri
This is the uri at which the collector will start crawling. This is usually a domain name.
Example:
https://www.example.com
Exclude patterns
A list of Regular expressions which are matched against the full url of each link found during crawling. If any link matches any exclude pattern it will be skipped.
Example:
^https://www.example.com/whatever.*$
Custom User-Agent
Some webservers handle user-agents differently. Here you can pretend to be a specific browser or robot. If you leave the field empty it will use a default useragent.
