Webscraping

oper8r can crawl websites and documentation to create source-backed retrieval context for workflows. Webscraping is useful when teams need agents to answer with current product, company, support, security, implementation, or public account information.

Source Types

• Websites: company sites, landing pages, blogs, public customer pages, and public resources.
• Documentation: product docs, developer docs, support centers, API docs, and implementation guides.

Why It Matters

Website and documentation content helps with:

• RFP and security answers.
• Product capability lookup.
• Competitive or account research.
• Implementation guidance.
• Customer-facing message grounding.
• Internal enablement and support workflows.

Crawl Scoping

Good crawl scoping prevents noisy or irrelevant retrieval.

Define:

• Start URL.
• Allowed domains.
• Allowed paths.
• Denied paths.
• Whether docs and marketing pages should be separated.
• Whether pages should be resynced on a schedule or manually.

Example targeting plan:

Website:
- Start: https://example.com
- Allow: /
- Deny: /careers, /legal/archive

Documentation:
- Start: https://docs.example.com
- Allow: /
- Deny: /changelog/legacy

Review Checklist

• Content is approved for the intended workflow.
• Crawler scope excludes irrelevant or sensitive paths.
• Source titles and URLs are preserved.
• Answers cite pages.
• Stale pages can be resynced or removed.
