scrapegraphai 0.7.0

A web scraping library based on LangChain which uses LLM and direct graph logic to create scraping pipelines.

🕷️ ScrapeGraphAI: You Only Scrape Once

ScrapeGraphAI is a web scraping python library that uses LLM and direct graph logic to create scraping pipelines for websites, documents and XML files. Just say which information you want to extract and the library will do it for you!

🚀 Quick install

The reference page for Scrapegraph-ai is available on the official page of pypy: pypi.

pip install scrapegraphai

you will also need to install Playwright for javascript-based scraping:

playwright install

Note: it is recommended to install the library in a virtual environment to avoid conflicts with other libraries 🐱

🔍 Demo

Official streamlit demo:

Try it directly on the web using Google Colab:

Follow the procedure on the following link to setup your OpenAI API key: link.

📖 Documentation

The documentation for ScrapeGraphAI can be found here.

Check out also the docusaurus documentation.

💻 Usage

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.

Case 1: Extracting information using Ollama

Remember to download the model on Ollama separately!

from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph

graph_config = {
    "llm": {
        "model": "ollama/mistral",
        "temperature": 0,
        "format": "json",  # Ollama needs the format to be specified explicitly
        "base_url": "http://localhost:11434",  # set Ollama URL
    },
    "embeddings": {
        "model": "ollama/nomic-embed-text",
        "base_url": "http://localhost:11434",  # set Ollama URL
    }
}

smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
    prompt="List me all the articles",
    # also accepts a string with the already downloaded HTML code
    source="https://perinim.github.io/projects",
    config=graph_config
)

result = smart_scraper_graph.run()
print(result)

Case 2: Extracting information using Docker

Note: before using the local model remember to create the docker container!

    docker-compose up -d
    docker exec -it ollama ollama pull stablelm-zephyr

You can use which models avaiable on Ollama or your own model instead of stablelm-zephyr

from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph

graph_config = {
    "llm": {
        "model": "ollama/mistral",
        "temperature": 0,
        "format": "json",  # Ollama needs the format to be specified explicitly
        # "model_tokens": 2000, # set context length arbitrarily
    },
}

smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
    prompt="List me all the articles",
    # also accepts a string with the already downloaded HTML code
    source="https://perinim.github.io/projects",  
    config=graph_config
)

result = smart_scraper_graph.run()
print(result)

Case 3: Extracting information using Openai model

from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph
OPENAI_API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

graph_config = {
    "llm": {
        "api_key": OPENAI_API_KEY,
        "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    },
}

smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
    prompt="List me all the articles",
    # also accepts a string with the already downloaded HTML code
    source="https://perinim.github.io/projects",
    config=graph_config
)

result = smart_scraper_graph.run()
print(result)

Case 4: Extracting information using Groq

from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph
from scrapegraphai.utils import prettify_exec_info

groq_key = os.getenv("GROQ_APIKEY")

graph_config = {
    "llm": {
        "model": "groq/gemma-7b-it",
        "api_key": groq_key,
        "temperature": 0
    },
    "embeddings": {
        "model": "ollama/nomic-embed-text",
        "temperature": 0,
        "base_url": "http://localhost:11434", 
    },
    "headless": False
}

smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
    prompt="List me all the projects with their description and the author.",
    source="https://perinim.github.io/projects",
    config=graph_config
)

result = smart_scraper_graph.run()
print(result)

Case 5: Extracting information using Azure

from langchain_openai import AzureChatOpenAI
from langchain_openai import AzureOpenAIEmbeddings

lm_model_instance = AzureChatOpenAI(
    openai_api_version=os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION"],
    azure_deployment=os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"]
)

embedder_model_instance = AzureOpenAIEmbeddings(
    azure_deployment=os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDINGS_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"],
    openai_api_version=os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION"],
)
graph_config = {
    "llm": {"model_instance": llm_model_instance},
    "embeddings": {"model_instance": embedder_model_instance}
}

smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
    prompt="""List me all the events, with the following fields: company_name, event_name, event_start_date, event_start_time, 
    event_end_date, event_end_time, location, event_mode, event_category, 
    third_party_redirect, no_of_days, 
    time_in_hours, hosted_or_attending, refreshments_type, 
    registration_available, registration_link""",
    source="https://www.hmhco.com/event",
    config=graph_config
)

Case 6: Extracting information using Gemini

from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph
GOOGLE_APIKEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

# Define the configuration for the graph
graph_config = {
    "llm": {
        "api_key": GOOGLE_APIKEY,
        "model": "gemini-pro",
    },
}

# Create the SmartScraperGraph instance
smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
    prompt="List me all the articles",
    source="https://perinim.github.io/projects",
    config=graph_config
)

result = smart_scraper_graph.run()
print(result)

The output for all 3 the cases 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'
        ]
}
