SpiderWebAI JavaScript SDK

The SpiderWebAI JavaScript SDK offers a streamlined set of tools for web scraping and crawling, with capabilities that allow for comprehensive data extraction suitable for interfacing with AI language models. This SDK makes it easy to interact programmatically with the SpiderWebAI API from any JavaScript or Node.js application.

Installation

You can install the SpiderWebAI JavaScript SDK via npm:

npm install spiderwebai-js

Or with yarn:

yarn add spiderwebai-js

Configuration

Before using the SDK, you will need to provide it with your API key. Obtain an API key from spiderwebai.xyz and either pass it directly to the constructor or set it as an environment variable SPIDER_API_KEY.

Usage

Here's a basic example to demonstrate how to use the SDK:

import SpiderWebAIApp from "spiderwebai-js";

// Initialize the SDK with your API key
const app = new SpiderWebAIApp("your_api_key");

// Scrape a URL
const url = "https://spiderwebai.xyz";
app
  .scrapeUrl(url)
  .then((data) => {
    console.log("Scraped Data:", data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error("Scrape Error:", error);
  });

// Crawl a website
const crawlParams = {
  limit: 5,
  proxy_enabled: true,
  store_data: false,
  metadata: false,
  request: "http",
};
app
  .crawlUrl(url, crawlParams)
  .then((result) => {
    console.log("Crawl Result:", result);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error("Crawl Error:", error);
  });

Available Methods

• scrapeUrl(url, params): Scrape data from a specified URL. Optional parameters can be passed to customize the scraping behavior.
• crawlUrl(url, params, stream): Begin crawling from a specific URL with optional parameters for customization and an optional streaming response.
• links(url, params): Retrieve all links from the specified URL with optional parameters.

Error Handling
