DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Website Crawler

Validated on 15 Apr 2026 • Last edited on 27 Apr 2026

DigitalOcean Knowledge Bases let you store, index, and retrieve data from private files, websites, Spaces buckets, and other sources to power retrieval-augmented generation with your own content.

When you specify a website URL as a data source for your knowledge base, DigitalOcean uses a custom agent named DigitalOceanGradientAICrawler/1.0 to index the website content. The crawler indexes up to 5,500 pages and skips inaccessible or disallowed links to prevent excessively large indexing jobs.

Depending on the behavior you select, the crawler follows HTML links on the site, indexes text and certain image types, and ignores videos and navigation links. It respects the website’s robots.txt rules, including any Disallow directives or the wildcard *.

For guidance on adding seed URLs and site map URLs to a DigitalOcean knowledge base, see Add a Data Source.
