Guide on submitting the same form multiple times in parallel?

[galaczi]

I am new to Crawlee and like it a lot! However my use case is a bit different than the mainstream. I need to submit the same form in parallel multiple times with different data. Do you have any guides on that? Or tips where to start?

Edit: the reason I am asking is because I see routes have a central role and I don't know how that applies to a project that has only one route.

I went with creating a request list and and passing in userData.

const sources: Source[] = persons.map((person): Source => ({
    url: 'https://example.com/',
    userData: person,
    uniqueKey: Randomstring.generate(7), 
}))

const requestList = await RequestList.open('my-list', sources)

If you have only one route, then use just one route :)

You can pass the unique data in userData if you want to fill the form in the requestHandler. If it is a simple HTTP request with form data, you can add the form data into the payload directly but it needs to be serialized already

Thanks, the key step was using uniqueKey. Without that, one url is processed only once.

Ok, I thought your Randomstring took care of it. Usually the best to do something like uniqueKey: person.id so you keep the 1:1 unique mapping
