Report whether Screaming Frog is installed, whether it is licensed, and what the current limits are. Call this first if anything else fails.

List the export names the INSTALLED Screaming Frog build accepts.

Filter names change between Screaming Frog versions and a single unknown name aborts an entire crawl, so never guess them.

Start a headless Screaming Frog crawl in the background.

Returns a job_id immediately. Poll it with crawl_status.

Slower; use for sites over ~500 pages. everything export every report and tab filter this build supports, instead of the curated default set. Much slower. On a licensed install this also covers the API-backed tables. config path to a .seospiderconfig file. LICENSED INSTALLS ONLY: config files unlock JavaScript rendering, custom extraction and the API integrations. The free tier rejects them, so passing one here without a licence is refused up front rather than failing mid-crawl. wait_seconds block up to this long, then return the summary if the crawl finished. 0 returns straight away.

Check a crawl started by start_crawl. Omit job_id for the most recent.

While running: elapsed time and the last runner lines. Once finished: the headline counts. Then call get_issues for the register.

Stop a running crawl. Exports already written are kept.

List crawl folders in the audit root, newest first.

The priority-ranked issue register from a finished crawl.

This is Screaming Frog's own Issues Overview, sorted High to Low then by affected URLs. START HERE, not with raw CSV rows.

The derived analysis: what the SET of URLs means, not what each URL is.

Sections: depth, link_equity, sitemap, content, performance, indexability, duplication. Each carries a 'reading' line explaining how to interpret it.

List the CSV exports in a crawl folder, with row counts.

Use this to find the right export before calling read_export.

Read rows from one CSV export, capped and filtered.

Empty returns the first 8; Screaming Frog exports can be 60 columns wide. contains substring filter matched across the whole row limit max rows returned (hard ceiling 500) offset skip this many matching rows, for paging

Write a shareable write-up of a finished crawl into its folder: report.md, a self-contained printable report.html, and analysis.json.

The HTML is styled, responsive, light and dark aware, and has print rules, so opening it and printing to PDF produces a clean document. There is no bundled PDF step, deliberately: shipping a headless browser to print a page your browser already prints is a bad trade.
