💻 Usage

Case 1: Extracting information using a prompt

You can use the SmartScraper class to extract information from a website using a prompt.

The SmartScraper class is a direct graph implementation that uses the most common nodes present in a web scraping pipeline. For more information, please see the documentation.

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph

load_dotenv()
openai_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_APIKEY")

# Define the configuration for the graph
graph_config = {
    "llm": {
        "api_key": openai_key,
        "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    },
}

# Create the SmartScraperGraph instance
smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
    prompt="List me all the titles and project descriptions"
    file_source="https://perinim.github.io/projects/", #Also accepts a string with the already downloaded HTML code
    config=graph_config
)

result = smart_scraper_graph.run()
print(result)

The output will be a dictionary with the extracted information, for example:

{
    'titles': [
        'Rotary Pendulum RL'
        ],
    'descriptions': [
        'Open Source project aimed at controlling a real life rotary pendulum using RL algorithms'
        ]
}
