qcrawl added to PyPI

qcrawl's addition to PyPI with its fast async web crawler and scraping framework, supporting deduplication, and extensible middleware, marks a significant development in web scraping capabilities. This means that website owners can expect an increase in AI-powered web scraping activities, potentially leading to higher volumes of bot traffic on their sites. As a result, they may need to reassess their current bot management strategies to differentiate between legitimate and malicious scraping activities. To prepare for this shift, website owners can take the following actionable steps: monitor their website's traffic for unusual patterns, update their llms.txt files to specify crawling permissions for specific bots, and implement rate limiting to prevent excessive scraping. By taking these measures, website owners can better manage AI bot traffic and protect their content from unauthorized scraping.
