Problem from last week with max_depth
Hello,
Since last week, the 'max_depth' parameter started behaving differently. If I set it to 2, it seems to completely ignore this setting—as if it was checking all available links regardless of the specified depth. For instance, if the first link usually appears at depth 5, it won't return any other pages even though there are valid pages available at depth 2.
Additionally, if I want to use a depth of 5, I have to set the parameter 'allowBackwardLinks' to True. However, whenever I try this, it always gives me an error message saying that this value does not exist in the function 'firecrawlApp()':
firecrawlApp()
crawl_result = app.crawl_url
At least, that's how I understood it based on the documentation provided at:
https://docs.firecrawl.dev/v1-welcome
Could you please clarify if 'max_depth' is functioning correctly and I'm just testing it on the wrong pages, or if there's an actual issue with it? Also, how exactly should I correctly set the 'allowBackwardLinks': True parameter?
Thanks for your prompt response!
