 The <ApiLink to="class/RequestLoader">`RequestLoader`</ApiLink> interface defines the foundation for fetching requests during a crawl. It provides abstract methods for basic operations like retrieving, marking, and checking the status of requests. Concrete implementations, such as <ApiLink to="class/RequestList">`RequestList`</ApiLink>, build on this interface to handle specific scenarios. You can create your own custom loader that reads from an external file, web endpoint, database, or any other specific data source. For more details, refer to the <ApiLink to="class/RequestLoader">`RequestLoader`</ApiLink> API reference.

+To learn how to use request loaders in your crawlers, see the [Request manager tandem](#request-manager-tandem) section below.

 ### Request list
 
 The <ApiLink to="class/RequestList">`RequestList`</ApiLink> can accept an asynchronous generator as input, allowing requests to be streamed rather than loading them all into memory at once. This can significantly reduce memory usage, especially when working with large sets of URLs.
