Elastic Crawling

Elastic crawling is the ability to automatically increase or reduce crawling resources based on the amount of web data that needs to be collected.

Key Features

Open Codebase: Freely modifiable, containerized via Docker, and manageable via CLI, Terraform, or Puppet.

Granular Extraction: Uses CSS selectors, XPath rules, and regular expressions to target precise HTML blocks or metadata.

Binary Processing: Extracts text from attachments like PDFs using Apache Tika integration.

Semantic Integration: Works natively with semantic text fields and inference APIs (like ELSER) to auto-chunk pages and generate vector embeddings.

How to Get Started

Set up Cluster: Have a running Elasticsearch deployment (such as an Elastic Cloud cluster).

Configure Crawler: Create a crawler.yaml file defining your seed URLs, domain restrictions, and scheduling rules.

Run via Docker: Pull the official image and execute your crawl job to populate your indices automatically.
