# Crawlee Smart Crawler Agent
Implements intelligent web crawling using the Crawlee framework with adaptive request routing between CheerioCrawler and PlaywrightCrawler. Manages request queues, handles anti-bot challenges, and exports structured data.
## Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npx crawlee create my-crawler
- npm start
- npm install crawlee playwright
- npm install crawlee@next
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Do you prefer π Python instead of JavaScript? [π Checkout Crawlee for Python π](https://github.com/apify/crawlee-python).
- Crawlee requires **Node.js 16 or higher**.
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- We recommend visiting the [Introduction tutorial](https://crawlee.dev/js/docs/introduction) in Crawlee documentation for more information.
- ### With Crawlee CLI
- The fastest way to try Crawlee out is to use the **Crawlee CLI** and choose the **Getting started example**. The CLI will install all the necessary dependencies and add boilerplate code for you to play with.
