    Use Cases & Benefits

    • ScrapeGraphAI is a Python library for AI-powered web scraping using large language models and graph logic to extract structured data from websites and local documents.
    • Key features include multiple scraping pipelines, integration with LLMs like OpenAI and Ollama, support for Python and Node.js SDKs, and compatibility with low-code platforms.
    • Strengths are ease of use with minimal code, high flexibility with multi-page and single-page scrapers, and extensive integration options; limitations include dependency on LLM APIs and potential costs.
    • Organizations can use ScrapeGraphAI in production to automate data extraction workflows, integrate with AI frameworks, and scale scraping tasks efficiently via API and SDKs under an MIT license.
    • Ideal use cases include data analytics, AI agent data feeding, automated content extraction, research data gathering, and generating scripts or audio from scraped web content.

    Integrations:

    🚀 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": {
            "model": "ollama/llama3.2",
            "model_tokens": 8192
        },
        "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))
    

    [!NOTE] For OpenAI and other models you just need to change the llm config!

    graph_config = {
       "llm": {
           "api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",
           "model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
       },
       "verbose": True,
       "headless": False,
    }
    

    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": "",
                "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 NameDescription
    SmartScraperGraphSingle-page scraper that only needs a user prompt and an input source.
    SearchGraphMulti-page scraper that extracts information from the top n search results of a search engine.
    SpeechGraphSingle-page scraper that extracts information from a website and generates an audio file.
    ScriptCreatorGraphSingle-page scraper that extracts information from a website and generates a Python script.
    SmartScraperMultiGraphMulti-page scraper that extracts information from multiple pages given a single prompt and a list of sources.
    ScriptCreatorMultiGraphMulti-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.
