olyptik 0.1.3

Official Python SDK for Olyptik API

Olyptik Python SDK

The Olyptik Python SDK provides a simple and intuitive interface for web crawling and content extraction. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous programming patterns with full type hints.

Installation

Install the SDK using pip:

pip install olyptik

Configuration

First, you'll need to initialize the SDK with your API key - you can get it from the settings page. You can either pass it directly or use environment variables.

from olyptik import Olyptik

# Initialize with API key
client = Olyptik(api_key="your_api_key_here")

Synchronous Usage

Start a crawl

Minimal settings crawl:

crawl = client.run_crawl({
    "startUrl": "https://example.com",
    "maxResults": 50
})

print(f"Crawl started with ID: {crawl.id}")
print(f"Status: {crawl.status}")

Full example:

# Start a crawl
crawl = client.run_crawl({
    "startUrl": "https://example.com",
    "maxResults": 50,
    "maxDepth": 2,
    "engineType": "auto",
    "includeLinks": True,
    "timeout": 60,
    "useSitemap": False,
    "entireWebsite": False,
    "excludeNonMainTags": True,
    "useStaticIps": False
})

print(f"Crawl started with ID: {crawl.id}")
print(f"Status: {crawl.status}")

Query crawls

from olyptik import CrawlStatus

result = client.query_crawls({
    "startUrls": ["https://example.com"],
    "status": [CrawlStatus.SUCCEEDED],
    "page": 0,
})

print("Crawls: ", result.results)
print("Page: ", result.page)
print("Total pages: ", result.totalPages)
print("Count of items per page: ", result.limit)
print("Total matched crawls: ", result.totalResults)

Getting Crawl Results

Retrieve the results of your crawl using the crawl ID. The results are paginated, and you can specify the page number and limit per page.

limit = 50
page = 0
results = client.get_crawl_results(crawl.id, page, limit)
for result in results.results:
    print(f"URL: {result.url}")
    print(f"Title: {result.title}")
    print(f"Depth: {result.depthOfUrl}")

Abort a crawl

aborted_crawl = client.abort_crawl(crawl.id)
print(f"Crawl aborted with ID: {aborted_crawl.id}")

Asynchronous Usage

For better performance with I/O operations, use the async client:

Start a crawl

Minimal settings crawl:

import asyncio
from olyptik import AsyncOlyptik

async def main():
    async with AsyncOlyptik(api_key="your_api_key_here") as client:
        crawl = await client.run_crawl({
            "startUrl": "https://example.com",
            "maxResults": 50
        })

        print(f"Crawl started with ID: {crawl.id}")
        print(f"Status: {crawl.status}")

asyncio.run(main())

Full example:

import asyncio
from olyptik import AsyncOlyptik

async def main():
    async with AsyncOlyptik(api_key="your_api_key_here") as client:
        # Start a crawl
        crawl = await client.run_crawl({
            "startUrl": "https://example.com",
            "maxResults": 50,
            "maxDepth": 2,
            "engineType": "auto",
            "includeLinks": True,
            "timeout": 60,
            "useSitemap": False,
            "entireWebsite": False,
            "excludeNonMainTags": True,
            "useStaticIps": False
        })

        print(f"Crawl started with ID: {crawl.id}")
        print(f"Status: {crawl.status}")

asyncio.run(main())

Query crawls

import asyncio
from olyptik import AsyncOlyptik, CrawlStatus

async def main():
    async with AsyncOlyptik(api_key="your_api_key_here") as client:
        result = await client.query_crawls({
            "startUrls": ["https://example.com"],
            "status": [CrawlStatus.SUCCEEDED],
            "page": 0,
        })
        
        print("Crawls: ", result.results)
        print("Page: ", result.page)
        print("Total pages: ", result.totalPages)
        print("Count of items per page: ", result.limit)
        print("Total matched crawls: ", result.totalResults)

asyncio.run(main())

Get crawl results

import asyncio
from olyptik import AsyncOlyptik

async def main():
    async with AsyncOlyptik(api_key="your_api_key_here") as client:
        # First start a crawl
        crawl = await client.run_crawl({
            "startUrl": "https://example.com",
            "maxResults": 50
        })
        
        # Get crawl results
        limit = 50
        page = 0
        results = await client.get_crawl_results(crawl.id, page, limit)
        for result in results.results:
            print(f"URL: {result.url}")
            print(f"Title: {result.title}")
            print(f"Depth: {result.depthOfUrl}")

        # First start a crawl
        crawl = await client.run_crawl({
            "startUrl": "https://example.com",
            "maxResults": 50
        })
        
        # Abort the crawl

Configuration Options

StartCrawlPayload

The crawl configuration options available:

You must provide at least one of the following: maxResults, useSitemap, or entireWebsite.

Property	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrl	string	✅	-	The URL to start crawling from
maxResults	number	❌	-	Maximum number of results to collect (1-5,000)
useSitemap	boolean	❌	false	Whether to use sitemap.xml to crawl the website
entireWebsite	boolean	❌	false	Whether to use sitemap.xml and all found links to crawl the website
maxDepth	number	❌	10	Maximum depth of pages to crawl (1-100)
includeLinks	boolean	❌	true	Whether to include links in the crawl results' markdown
excludeNonMainTags	boolean	❌	true	Whether to exclude non-main HTML tags (header, footer, aside, etc.) from the crawl results
timeout	number	❌	60	Timeout duration in minutes
engineType	string	❌	"auto"	The engine to use: "auto", "cheerio" (fast, static sites), "playwright" (dynamic sites)
useStaticIps	boolean	❌	false	Whether to use static IPs for the crawl

Engine Types

Choose the appropriate engine for your crawling needs:

from olyptik import EngineType

# Available engine types
EngineType.AUTO        # Automatically choose the best engine
EngineType.PLAYWRIGHT  # Use Playwright for JavaScript-heavy sites
EngineType.CHEERIO     # Use Cheerio for faster, static content crawling

Crawl Status

Monitor your crawl status using the CrawlStatus enum:

from olyptik import CrawlStatus

# Possible status values
CrawlStatus.RUNNING    # Crawl is currently running
CrawlStatus.SUCCEEDED  # Crawl completed successfully
CrawlStatus.FAILED     # Crawl failed due to an error
CrawlStatus.TIMED_OUT  # Crawl exceeded timeout limit
CrawlStatus.ABORTED    # Crawl was manually aborted
CrawlStatus.ERROR      # Crawl encountered an error

Error Handling

The SDK throws errors for various scenarios. Always wrap your calls in try-catch blocks:

from olyptik import Olyptik, ApiError

client = Olyptik(api_key="your_api_key_here")

try:
    crawl = client.run_crawl({
        "startUrl": "https://example.com",
        "maxResults": 10
    })
except ApiError as e:
    # API returned an error response
    print(f"API Error: {e.message}")
    print(f"Status Code: {e.status_code}")
