Depth
The depth
config option allows you to specify how deep the scraping process should follow links from the initial URL.
When no value is provided or depth
is set to 0
link following is disabled and it will only scrape the initial URL.
Configuration
export const config = {
url: "http://example.com/",
depth: 2,
// ...
};
With the config provided in the example the scraper would follow links like this:
http://example.com/ (depth = 0, initial URL)
↳ http://example.com/deeply (depth = 1)
↳ http://example.com/deeply/nested (depth = 2)
