What does the URL component do and what additional feature does it support for crawling webpages?
The URL component lets you enter one or more webpage addresses, and Langflow fetches their content and outputs it as a data table with text and metadata such as page title and language. It additionally supports recursive link traversal, meaning you can configure how many links away from the starting URL the crawler should follow, making it useful for indexing entire website sections.
