memoized-node-fetch VS x-crawl

TLDR; I created a small npm package that acts as a wrapper around node-fetch, and returns the same promise for the same request, until it resolves. You can visit the repo of this package here. Below, I explain my motivation, and how I tackled the issue.

The crawler uses x-crawl. The crawled websites are all real. To avoid disputes, https://www.example.com is used instead.

import { createXCrawlOpenAI } from 'x-crawl' const xCrawlOpenAIApp = createXCrawlOpenAI({ clientOptions: { apiKey: 'Your API Key' } }) xCrawlOpenAIApp.help('What is x-crawl').then((res) => { console.log(res) /* res: x-crawl is a flexible Node.js AI-assisted web crawling library. It offers powerful AI-assisted features that make web crawling more efficient, intelligent, and convenient. You can find more information and the source code on x-crawl's GitHub page: https://github.com/coder-hxl/x-crawl. */ }) xCrawlOpenAIApp .help('Three major things to note about crawlers') .then((res) => { console.log(res) /* res: There are several important aspects to consider when working with crawlers: 1. **Robots.txt:** It's important to respect the rules set in a website's robots.txt file. This file specifies which parts of a website can be crawled by search engines and other bots. Not following these rules can lead to your crawler being blocked or even legal issues. 2. **Crawl Delay:** It's a good practice to implement a crawl delay between your requests to a website. This helps to reduce the load on the server and also shows respect for the server resources. 3. **User-Agent:** Always set a descriptive User-Agent header for your crawler. This helps websites identify your crawler and allows them to contact you if there are any issues. Using a generic or misleading User-Agent can also lead to your crawler being blocked. By keeping these points in mind, you can ensure that your crawler operates efficiently and ethically. */ })

If you also like x-crawl, you can give the x-crawl repository a star on GitHub to support it. Thank you for your support!
