🕷️ 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

# IMPORTANT (for fetching websites content)
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.

from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph

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

# Create the SmartScraperGraph instance
smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
    prompt="Extract useful information from the webpage, including a description of what the company does, founders and social media links",
    source="https://scrapegraphai.com/",
    config=graph_config
)

# Run the pipeline
result = smart_scraper_graph.run()

import json
print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))

The output will be a dictionary like the following:

{
    "description": "ScrapeGraphAI transforms websites into clean, organized data for AI agents and data analytics. It offers an AI-powered API for effortless and cost-effective data extraction.",
    "founders": [
        {
            "name": "Marco Perini",
            "role": "Founder & Technical Lead",
            "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/perinim/"
        },
        {
            "name": "Marco Vinciguerra",
            "role": "Founder & Software Engineer",
            "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-vinciguerra-7ba365242/"
        },
        {
            "name": "Lorenzo Padoan",
            "role": "Founder & Product Engineer",
            "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorenzo-padoan-4521a2154/"
        }
    ],
    "social_media_links": {
        "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/101881123",
        "twitter": "https://x.com/scrapegraphai",
        "github": "https://github.com/ScrapeGraphAI/Scrapegraph-ai"
    }
}

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.

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.
