KNet Crawler

Crawl websites and turn them into indexed, searchable knowledge for your agents.

Placeholder. The overview, links and concepts below are accurate; the detailed guides are still being written. Anything not yet covered is listed under What is not documented yet.

KNet Crawler fetches web content on a schedule and indexes it so your agents and knowledge bases can search it. Use it when the source of truth lives on a website — documentation, a product catalogue, a public register — rather than in a file you can upload.

Open it: flow.knetai.com/krawlers

Where it fits

Crawler produces indexed content. It does not answer questions on its own.

  • Crawler collects and indexes pages.
  • Knowledge Bases stores and retrieves that content for retrieval-augmented generation.
  • Workflow Builder consumes it in an agent.
  • KNet Traces shows you what a retrieval actually returned when an answer looks wrong.

If you are trying to give an agent knowledge of a website, you will use Crawler and Knowledge Bases together.

Concepts

Crawl — one configured job: a starting URL, rules about how far to follow links, and a schedule.

Scope — the boundary of a crawl. Usually a domain or a path prefix. Getting this wrong is the most common problem: too narrow and you miss pages, too wide and you index the entire internet.

Index — the processed, searchable output of a crawl, consumed by knowledge bases.

What is not documented yet

  • Configuring crawl scope and depth
  • Scheduling and re-crawl behaviour
  • Authentication for pages behind a login
  • Handling JavaScript-rendered pages
  • API and MCP endpoints
  • Quotas and rate limiting
