Python API

import asyncio
from docpull import Fetcher, DocpullConfig, ProfileName, EventType

async def main():
    config = DocpullConfig(
        url="https://docs.example.com",
        profile=ProfileName.RAG,
        crawl={"max_pages": 100},
        cache={"enabled": True},
    )

    async with Fetcher(config) as fetcher:
        async for event in fetcher.run():
            if event.type == EventType.FETCH_PROGRESS:
                print(f"{event.current}/{event.total}: {event.url}")

        print(f"Done: {fetcher.stats.pages_fetched} pages")

asyncio.run(main())
