Guidelines

1. Rate limits: Add delays between requests to avoid 429 errors
2. Crawl limits: Set reasonable limit values to control API usage
3. Main content: Use onlyMainContent: true for cleaner output
4. Async crawls: Large crawls are async; poll /crawl/{id} for status
5. Extract prompts: Be specific for better AI extraction results
6. Check success: Always check success field in responses
