How to create your first WebsiteCrawler project?

For easy identification, projects in WebsiteCrawler have the same name as the domain you had entered for crawling. Projects cannot be renamed. but can be grouped.

How to create a project? When you run a crawl and sign in to WebsiteCrawler after registering an account or signing in with Google, our platform will automatically create a new project for you. While your site is being crawled, you can register a new account by clicking on the “Get started” button on the menu bar and following the instructions displayed on the page. If you create an account during an active crawl task, WebsiteCrawler will create a project for you automatically and you can monitor the crawl progress from the dashboard. If you’ve logged in first and want to create a new project and run a crawl, this guide is for you.

Click the green “Create a new project” button displayed on the dashboard page. You’ll now see a form where you must enter the target website URL. Enter the URL and click the “Add website” button. WebsiteCrawler will add your new project to the list.

WebsiteCrawler lets users delete a project. When you delete any project, the crawl credits won’t be affected in any way. For example if you made our platform crawl 1000 pages and you remove a project, the crawl credits will not be incremented by 1000.
