+###Crawlbot API
+To start a new crawl, specify a crawl name, seed URLs, and the API via which URLs should be processed. An example call to the Crawlbot API:
+
+```
+token = "SOME_TOKEN"
+name = "sampleCrawlName"
+seeds = "http://www.twitter.com/"
+apiUrl = "analyze"
+sampleCrawl = DiffbotCrawl(token,name,seeds,apiUrl)
+```
+
+To check the status of a crawl:
+
+```
+sampleCrawl.status()
+```
+
+To delete or restart a crawl:
+
+```
+sampleCrawl.delete()
+sampleCrawl.restart()
+```
+
+To pass additional arguments to a crawl:
+
+```
+sampleCrawl = DiffbotCrawl(token,name,seeds,apiUrl,maxToCrawl=100,maxToProcess=50,notifyEmail="support@diffbot.com")
+```
