Website crawl

Crawl your help center, docs site, or intranet pages and keep them current on a schedule.

Website crawl with askneutron A search lens marks a stack of source documents. A connected quotation surface represents an answer with a source citation.

What Neutron can do

Control what gets crawled

Set a page limit and link depth, include subdomains when you need them, and add patterns to include or skip paths.

Refresh on a schedule

Crawl manually, or refresh the site daily, weekly, or monthly so answers follow your latest pages.

Reach pages behind a sign-in

Crawl private pages with basic auth, a bearer token, custom headers, or cookies.

Test before a full crawl

Run a test crawl first to check that the right pages come back.

What it connects

A website crawl turns pages you already publish into knowledge Neutron can answer from. It works well for help centers, product documentation, and internal sites that change often.

You choose the starting URL and how far the crawl goes. A page limit caps the number of pages, and a depth limit controls how many links away from the start page the crawl can go. Include and exclude patterns keep the crawl focused, for example on /docs/ while skipping /blog/.

Before committing to a full crawl, run a test crawl. It shows the pages the crawl reaches so you can adjust the settings. Then pick a schedule: manual, daily, weekly, or monthly. Each scheduled crawl picks up new and changed pages, so answers stay close to what your site says today.

Access and permissions

If the pages sit behind a sign-in, add credentials for the crawl. askneutron supports basic auth, bearer tokens, custom request headers, and cookies. Credentials are stored for the crawl and are not shown again after you save them.

Like uploaded documents, a crawled site has an access policy. You decide which groups or people can get answers from it, so an internal wiki can stay internal while a public help center powers a customer-facing widget.

Good to know

The crawl reads the pages your settings allow. Pages that need a browser login flow, such as single sign-on, may need cookies or headers from a signed-in session.
