Knowledge base crawl exclusions
By Steven Van ·
Website crawls for ElevenAgents knowledge bases accept up to 50 exclude patterns, set through the API or the whole-website crawl dialog.
ElevenAgents knowledge base website crawls can now skip parts of a site. Pass up to 50 exclude_patterns to Create crawl job, or fill in the Exclude patterns field in the whole-website crawl dialog. Any URL that matches one of the patterns is skipped, even if it also matches the crawl pattern.
How it works
- The API accepts up to 50 exclude_patterns per crawl job.
- In the dashboard, the same patterns go in the Exclude patterns field of the whole-website crawl dialog.
- Exclusions take precedence over the crawl pattern.
- Crawl job responses return the patterns that were used.
Setup steps for crawls are covered in the ElevenLabs knowledge base documentation. The change was listed in the 26 October 2026 release note for ElevenLabs.
