Quick Crawl Link

Purpose

Quick Crawl Link is a shortcut for submitting one URL quickly.

Use it for a small, immediate fetch when a full crawl profile would be unnecessary.

What You Can Do Here

• Quick Crawl Link is a shortcut for submitting one URL quickly.
• Choose query, target, content type, or integration options according to the user intent.
• Keep ordinary read-only viewing separate from authenticated actions that alter stored data.

Page Architecture

Public search pages turn request parameters into result lists, previews, snippets, feeds, or integration fragments. They are mostly read-oriented, but some result actions can bookmark, recommend, blacklist, or delete references when authenticated.

Correct Use

Use this page for one URL or a very small task. If the request needs depth, filters, collections, recrawl policy, or careful politeness settings, use the normal crawl start pages instead.

Access And Safety

Administrator access is required. YaCy protects _p pages as administration pages.

Protected related endpoint(s): /QuickCrawlLink_p.html.

Automation And API

Page backend: source/net/yacy/htroot/QuickCrawlLink_p.java.

Endpoint	Method	Access	Backend

Parameter Guide

The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default.

Parameter	Meaning and valid values	Care
collection	Collection name. Use it to group crawled or imported documents and to search or manage that group later.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
crawlOrder	Crawl ordering strategy, such as balanced host scheduling.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
crawlingDepth	Maximum link depth from the start URL. Depth 0 loads only the submitted document; larger values follow links farther away.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
crawlingQ	Queues discovered URLs for crawler processing; sitemap mode normally enables queued crawling.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
followFrames	Allows the crawler to follow frame and iframe sources.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
indexMedia	Indexes discovered media resources when enabled.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
indexText	Indexes extracted text content when enabled. Disable only for specialized media-only crawls.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
mustmatch	Regular expression that discovered URLs must match before they enter the crawl.	Controls the scope or format of the result. Prefer the narrowest value that answers the request.
mustnotmatch	Regular expression that discovered URLs must not match. Use it to exclude logout URLs, calendars, filters, or unwanted directories.	Controls the scope or format of the result. Prefer the narrowest value that answers the request.
obeyHtmlRobotsNofollow	Honors HTML robots nofollow instructions while discovering links.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
obeyHtmlRobotsNoindex	Honors HTML robots noindex instructions while indexing.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
storeHTCache	Stores fetched documents in YaCy hypertext cache.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
timezoneOffset	Client timezone offset in minutes. YaCy uses it for date display or schedule calculations.	Read-only request context for date handling.
title	Human-readable title.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
url	URL to inspect, crawl, import, or act on.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.

Example request shape:

GET or POST /QuickCrawlLink_p.html?crawlingDepth=...&url=...&collection=...&crawlOrder=...&crawlingQ=...

What To Expect

YaCy should queue or load the submitted URL quickly, but search results appear only after fetching, parsing, and indexing finish.
