Browsertrix is a cloud-native, high-fidelity, browser-based crawling service designed to make web archiving easier and more accessible for everyone.

The service provides an API and UI for starting, scheduling, sharing, and managing crawls. This repo includes the orchestration and management tools around crawling, while the actual crawling is performed using browsertrix-crawler containers.
