ScrapeGraphAI: You Only Scrape Once

English | | | |

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.

```bash pip install scrapegraphai

playwright install ```

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

Installing "More Browser Options"

This group includes an ocr scraper for websites bash pip install scrapegraphai[screenshot_scraper]

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.

```python import json from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph

Define the configuration for the scraping pipeline

graphconfig = { "llm": { "apikey": "YOUROPENAIAPIKEY", "model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini", }, "verbose": True, "headless": False, }

Create the SmartScraperGraph instance

smartscrapergraph = 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 = smartscrapergraph.run() print(json.dumps(result, indent=4)) ```

The output will be a dictionary like the following:

python { "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.

| Pipeline Name | Description | |-------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | SmartScraperGraph | Single-page scraper that only needs a user prompt and an input source. | | SearchGraph | Multi-page scraper that extracts information from the top n search results of a search engine. | | SpeechGraph | Single-page scraper that extracts information from a website and generates an audio file. | | ScriptCreatorGraph | Single-page scraper that extracts information from a website and generates a Python script. | | SmartScraperMultiGraph | Multi-page scraper that extracts information from multiple pages given a single prompt and a list of sources. | | ScriptCreatorMultiGraph | Multi-page scraper that generates a Python script for extracting information from multiple pages and sources. |

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.
