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.
