🕷️ ScrapeGraphAI: You Only Scrape Once

English | 中文 | 日本語 | 한국어 | Русский | Türkçe

ScrapeGraphAI is a web scraping python library that uses LLM and direct graph logic to create scraping pipelines for websites and local documents (XML, HTML, JSON, Markdown, etc.).

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 PyPI: pypi.

pip install scrapegraphai

playwright install

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

💻 Usage

There are multiple standard scraping pipelines that can be used to extract information from a website (or local file).

The most common one is the SmartScraperGraph, which extracts information from a single page given a user prompt and a source URL.

import json
from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph

# Define the configuration for the scraping pipeline
graph_config = {
    "llm": {
        "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_APIKEY",
        "model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    },
    "verbose": True,
    "headless": False,
}

# Create the SmartScraperGraph instance
smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
    prompt="Find some information about what does the company do, the name and a contact email.",
    source="https://scrapegraphai.com/",
    config=graph_config
)

# Run the pipeline
result = smart_scraper_graph.run()
print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))

The output will be a dictionary like the following:

{
    "company": "ScrapeGraphAI",
    "name": "ScrapeGraphAI Extracting content from websites and local documents using LLM",
    "contact_email": "contact@scrapegraphai.com"
}

There are other pipelines that can be used to extract information from multiple pages, generate Python scripts, or even generate audio files.

For each of these graphs there is the multi version. It allows to make calls of the LLM in parallel.

It is possible to use different LLM through APIs, such as OpenAI, Groq, Azure and Gemini, or local models using Ollama.

Remember to have Ollama installed and download the models using the ollama pull command, if you want to use local models.
