A good choice is Scrapy.

It supports:

  • robots.txt compliance via ROBOTSTXT_OBEY = True
  • rate limiting / throttling via settings like DOWNLOAD_DELAY and AUTOTHROTTLE_ENABLED
  • large-scale crawling and ingestion through its asynchronous architecture

If you want, I can also suggest alternatives depending on whether you need Python, JavaScript, or a managed crawling platform.

Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?

Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
