Crew Risk

About

This framework provides crawler developers and operators with an automated toolset to evaluate the crawler-friendliness and potential risks of target websites across legal, social ethics, and technical dimensions. It offers multi-level risk warnings and specific recommendations to help users plan crawler strategies, avoid legal disputes and negative social impacts, and improve technical stability and efficiency.

Key Features

• Access target website and check basic status, including redirects and HTTP status codes.
• Detect anti-crawling mechanisms like Cloudflare, JavaScript challenges, meta robots tags, and X-Robots-Tag headers.
• Provide a comprehensive three-level crawl permissibility rating: 'allowed', 'partial', or 'blocked', based on all detected risks and restrictions.
• Scan for common public API endpoints to assess accessibility, authentication requirements, and potential rate limiting.
• 3 GitHub stars
• Identify sensitive content such as copyright notices, terms of service, and personal private information (emails, phones, IDs) via regex matching.

Use Cases

• Evaluating webpage compliance and potential risks before initiating web crawling.
• Formulating compliant and ethical web scraping strategies to avoid legal and social issues.
• Monitoring and adapting crawler behavior during operations to ensure technical stability and data protection.
