Requires node, npm.

1. Installing Packages

Once you have cloned the project run npm install to install dependencies. requires node v22.13.0 minumum

npm install

2. Updating config values

There are 3 main config values : -

  1. wpt_api_key - Check here the API documentation
  2. level - integer value, specifies maximum depth the crawler should crawl.
  3. limit - integer value, specifies maximum limit of URLs need to tested. Note : - Crawling stops if either of them reaches a limit.

3. Adding a initial URLs txt file

You can add your initial set of URLs to the startingUrls.txt file by seperating them using a comma.

4. Lets fire it up

npm run build & node build/index.js -k [YOUR_API_KEY] -f ./startingUrls.txt

Booyah, once the crawl-testing is complete you'll have a report.csv file which includes performance details of the URLs crawled.
