## Power and Simplicity of Crawl4AI 🚀
|
||||
|
||||
To show the simplicity take a look at the first example:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
|
||||
|
||||
# Create the WebCrawler instance
|
||||
crawler = WebCrawler()
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the crawler with keyword filtering and CSS selector
|
||||
result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business")
|
||||
print(result) # {url, html, markdown, extracted_content, metadata}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now let's try a complex task. Below is an example of how you can execute JavaScript, filter data using keywords, and use a CSS selector to extract specific content—all in one go!
|
||||
|
||||
1. Instantiate a WebCrawler object.
|
||||
2. Execute custom JavaScript to click a "Load More" button.
|
||||
3. Extract semantical chunks of content and filter the data to include only content related to technology.
|
||||
4. Use a CSS selector to extract only paragraphs (`<p>` tags).
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Import necessary modules
|
||||
from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
|
||||
from crawl4ai.chunking_strategy import *
|
||||
from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import *
|
||||
from crawl4ai.crawler_strategy import *
|
||||
|
||||
# Define the JavaScript code to click the "Load More" button
|
||||
js_code = """
|
||||
const loadMoreButton = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('button')).find(button => button.textContent.includes('Load More'));
|
||||
loadMoreButton && loadMoreButton.click();
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
# Define the crawling strategy
|
||||
crawler_strategy = LocalSeleniumCrawlerStrategy(js_code=js_code)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create the WebCrawler instance with the defined strategy
|
||||
crawler = WebCrawler(crawler_strategy=crawler_strategy)
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the crawler with keyword filtering and CSS selector
|
||||
result = crawler.run(
|
||||
url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
extraction_strategy=CosineStrategy(
|
||||
semantic_filter="technology",
|
||||
),
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the crawler with LLM extraction strategy
|
||||
result = crawler.run(
|
||||
url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
extraction_strategy=LLMExtractionStrategy(
|
||||
provider="openai/gpt-4o",
|
||||
api_token=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
|
||||
instruction="Extract only content related to technology"
|
||||
),
|
||||
css_selector="p"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Display the extracted result
|
||||
print(result)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With Crawl4AI, you can perform advanced web crawling and data extraction tasks with just a few lines of code. This example demonstrates how you can harness the power of Crawl4AI to simplify your workflow and get the data you need efficiently.

||||
## Installation 💻
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to use Crawl4AI: as a library in your Python projects or as a standalone local server.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Crawl4AI as a Library 📚
|
||||
There are three ways to use Crawl4AI:
|
||||
1. As a library (Recommended)
|
||||
2. As a local server (Docker) or using the REST API
|
||||
4. As a Google Colab notebook. [](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1wz8u30rvbq6Scodye9AGCw8Qg_Z8QGsk)
|
||||
|
||||
To install Crawl4AI as a library, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the package from GitHub:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
pip install git+https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
virtualenv venv
|
||||
source venv/bin/activate
|
||||
pip install "crawl4ai[all] @ git+https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install the package locally:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
💡 Better to run the following CLI-command to load the required models. This is optional, but it will boost the performance and speed of the crawler. You need to do this only once.
|
||||
|
||||
crawl4ai-download-models
|
||||
|
||||
2. Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install the package locally:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
virtualenv venv
|
||||
source venv/bin/activate
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git
|
||||
cd crawl4ai
|
||||
pip install -e .
|
||||
pip install -e .[all]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Import the necessary modules in your Python script:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crawl4ai.web_crawler import WebCrawler
|
||||
from crawl4ai.models import UrlModel
|
||||
import os
|
||||
|
||||
crawler = WebCrawler(db_path='crawler_data.db')
|
||||
|
||||
# Single page crawl
|
||||
single_url = UrlModel(url='https://kidocode.com', forced=False)
|
||||
result = crawl4ai.fetch_page(
|
||||
single_url,
|
||||
provider= "openai/gpt-3.5-turbo",
|
||||
api_token = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
|
||||
# Set `extract_blocks_flag` to True to enable the LLM to generate semantically clustered chunks
|
||||
# and return them as JSON. Depending on the model and data size, this may take up to 1 minute.
|
||||
# Without this setting, it will take between 5 to 20 seconds.
|
||||
extract_blocks_flag=False
|
||||
word_count_threshold=5 # Minimum word count for a HTML tag to be considered as a worthy block
|
||||
)
|
||||
print(result.model_dump())
|
||||
|
||||
# Multiple page crawl
|
||||
urls = [
|
||||
UrlModel(url='http://example.com', forced=False),
|
||||
UrlModel(url='http://example.org', forced=False)
|
||||
]
|
||||
results = crawl4ai.fetch_pages(
|
||||
urls,
|
||||
provider= "openai/gpt-3.5-turbo",
|
||||
api_token = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
|
||||
extract_blocks_flag=True,
|
||||
word_count_threshold=5
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
for res in results:
|
||||
print(res.model_dump())
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Running for the first time will download the chrome driver for selenium. Also creates a SQLite database file `crawler_data.db` in the current directory. This file will store the crawled data for future reference.
|
||||
|
||||
The response model is a `CrawlResponse` object that contains the following attributes:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class CrawlResult(BaseModel):
|
||||
url: str
|
||||
html: str
|
||||
success: bool
|
||||
cleaned_html: str = None
|
||||
markdown: str = None
|
||||
parsed_json: str = None
|
||||
error_message: str = None
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Running Crawl4AI as a Local Server 🚀
|
||||
|
||||
To run Crawl4AI as a standalone local server, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Clone the repository:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Navigate to the project directory:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
cd crawl4ai
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Open `crawler/config.py` and set your favorite LLM provider and API token.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Build the Docker image:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
3. Use docker to run the local server:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker build -t crawl4ai .
|
||||
```
|
||||
For Mac users, use the following command instead:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t crawl4ai .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. Run the Docker container:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# For Mac users
|
||||
# docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t crawl4ai .
|
||||
docker run -d -p 8000:80 crawl4ai
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. Access the application at `http://localhost:8000`.
|
||||
For more information about how to run Crawl4AI as a local server, please refer to the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai).
|
||||
|
||||
- CURL Example:
|
||||
Set the api_token to your OpenAI API key or any other provider you are using.
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"urls":["https://techcrunch.com/"],"provider_model":"openai/gpt-3.5-turbo","api_token":"your_api_token","include_raw_html":true,"forced":false,"extract_blocks_flag":false,"word_count_threshold":10}' http://localhost:8000/crawl
|
||||
```
|
||||
Set `extract_blocks_flag` to True to enable the LLM to generate semantically clustered chunks and return them as JSON. Depending on the model and data size, this may take up to 1 minute. Without this setting, it will take between 5 to 20 seconds.
|
||||
## Using the Local server ot REST API 🌐
|
||||
|
||||
- Python Example:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import requests
|
||||
import os
|
||||
You can also use Crawl4AI through the REST API. This method allows you to send HTTP requests to the Crawl4AI server and receive structured data in response. The base URL for the API is `https://crawl4ai.com/crawl`. If you run the local server, you can use `http://localhost:8000/crawl`. (Port is dependent on your docker configuration)
|
||||
|
||||
url = "http://localhost:8000/crawl" # Replace with the appropriate server URL
|
||||
data = {
|
||||
"urls": [
|
||||
"https://example.com"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"provider_model": "groq/llama3-70b-8192",
|
||||
"api_token": "your_api_token",
|
||||
"include_raw_html": true,
|
||||
"forced": false,
|
||||
# Set `extract_blocks_flag` to True to enable the LLM to generate semantically clustered chunks
|
||||
# and return them as JSON. Depending on the model and data size, this may take up to 1 minute.
|
||||
# Without this setting, it will take between 5 to 20 seconds.
|
||||
"extract_blocks_flag": False,
|
||||
"word_count_threshold": 5
|
||||
### Example Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To use the REST API, send a POST request to `https://crawl4ai.com/crawl` with the following parameters in the request body.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Request:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"urls": ["https://www.nbcnews.com/business"],
|
||||
"include_raw_html": false,
|
||||
"bypass_cache": true,
|
||||
"word_count_threshold": 5,
|
||||
"extraction_strategy": "CosineStrategy",
|
||||
"chunking_strategy": "RegexChunking",
|
||||
"css_selector": "p",
|
||||
"verbose": true,
|
||||
"extraction_strategy_args": {
|
||||
"semantic_filter": "finance economy and stock market",
|
||||
"word_count_threshold": 20,
|
||||
"max_dist": 0.2,
|
||||
"linkage_method": "ward",
|
||||
"top_k": 3
|
||||
},
|
||||
"chunking_strategy_args": {
|
||||
"patterns": ["\n\n"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
|
||||
|
||||
if response.status_code == 200:
|
||||
result = response.json()["results"][0]
|
||||
print("Parsed JSON:")
|
||||
print(result["parsed_json"])
|
||||
print("\nCleaned HTML:")
|
||||
print(result["cleaned_html"])
|
||||
print("\nMarkdown:")
|
||||
print(result["markdown"])
|
||||
else:
|
||||
print("Error:", response.status_code, response.text)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This code sends a POST request to the Crawl4AI server running on localhost, specifying the target URL (`https://example.com`) and the desired options (`grq_api_token`, `include_raw_html`, and `forced`). The server processes the request and returns the crawled data in JSON format.
|
||||
**Example Response:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"status": "success",
|
||||
"data": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"url": "https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
"extracted_content": "...",
|
||||
"html": "...",
|
||||
"markdown": "...",
|
||||
"metadata": {...}
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The response from the server includes the parsed JSON, cleaned HTML, and markdown representations of the crawled webpage. You can access and use this data in your Python application as needed.
|
||||
For more information about the available parameters and their descriptions, refer to the [Parameters](#parameters) section.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to replace `"http://localhost:8000/crawl"` with the appropriate server URL if your Crawl4AI server is running on a different host or port.
|
||||
|
||||
Choose the approach that best suits your needs. If you want to integrate Crawl4AI into your existing Python projects, installing it as a library is the way to go. If you prefer to run Crawl4AI as a standalone service and interact with it via API endpoints, running it as a local server using Docker is the recommended approach.
|
||||
## Python Library Usage 🚀
|
||||
|
||||
**Make sure to check the config.py tp set required environment variables.**
|
||||
🔥 A great way to try out Crawl4AI is to run `quickstart.py` in the `docs/examples` directory. This script demonstrates how to use Crawl4AI to crawl a website and extract content from it.
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! You can now integrate Crawl4AI into your Python projects and leverage its web crawling capabilities. 🎉
|
||||
### Quickstart Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## 📖 Parameters
|
||||
Create an instance of WebCrawler and call the `warmup()` function.
|
||||
```python
|
||||
crawler = WebCrawler()
|
||||
crawler.warmup()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Parameter | Description | Required | Default Value |
|
||||
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|---------------|
|
||||
| `urls` | A list of URLs to crawl and extract data from. | Yes | - |
|
||||
| `provider_model` | The provider and model to use for extracting relevant information (e.g., "groq/llama3-70b-8192"). | Yes | - |
|
||||

|
||||
### Understanding 'bypass_cache' and 'include_raw_html' parameters
|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Configuration
|
||||
Crawl4AI allows you to configure various parameters and settings in the `crawler/config.py` file. Here's an example of how you can adjust the parameters:
|
||||
First crawl (caches the result):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Second crawl (Force to crawl again):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", bypass_cache=True)
|
||||
```
|
||||
💡 Don't forget to set `bypass_cache` to True if you want to try different strategies for the same URL. Otherwise, the cached result will be returned. You can also set `always_by_pass_cache` in constructor to True to always bypass the cache.
|
||||
|
||||
Crawl result without raw HTML content:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", include_raw_html=False)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding a chunking strategy: RegexChunking
|
||||
|
||||
Using RegexChunking:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
result = crawler.run(
|
||||
url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
chunking_strategy=RegexChunking(patterns=["\n\n"])
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using NlpSentenceChunking:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
result = crawler.run(
|
||||
url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
chunking_strategy=NlpSentenceChunking()
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Extraction strategy: CosineStrategy
|
||||
|
||||
So far, the extracted content is just the result of chunking. To extract meaningful content, you can use extraction strategies. These strategies cluster consecutive chunks into meaningful blocks, keeping the same order as the text in the HTML. This approach is perfect for use in RAG applications and semantical search queries.
|
||||
|
||||
Using CosineStrategy:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
result = crawler.run(
|
||||
url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
extraction_strategy=CosineStrategy(
|
||||
semantic_filter="",
|
||||
word_count_threshold=10,
|
||||
max_dist=0.2,
|
||||
linkage_method="ward",
|
||||
top_k=3
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can set `semantic_filter` to filter relevant documents before clustering. Documents are filtered based on their cosine similarity to the keyword filter embedding.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import os
|
||||
from dotenv import load_dotenv
|
||||
|
||||
load_dotenv() # Load environment variables from .env file
|
||||
|
||||
# Default provider
|
||||
DEFAULT_PROVIDER = "openai/gpt-4-turbo"
|
||||
|
||||
# Provider-model dictionary
|
||||
PROVIDER_MODELS = {
|
||||
"groq/llama3-70b-8192": os.getenv("GROQ_API_KEY"),
|
||||
"groq/llama3-8b-8192": os.getenv("GROQ_API_KEY"),
|
||||
"openai/gpt-3.5-turbo": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
|
||||
"openai/gpt-4-turbo": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),

url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
extraction_strategy=CosineStrategy(
|

)
|
||||
)
|

```
|
||||
In the `crawler/config.py` file, you can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Set the default provider using the `DEFAULT_PROVIDER` variable.
|
||||
- Add or modify the provider-model dictionary (`PROVIDER_MODELS`) to include your desired providers and their corresponding API keys. Crawl4AI supports various providers such as Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic, and more. You can add any provider supported by LiteLLM, as well as Ollama.
|
||||
- Adjust the `CHUNK_TOKEN_THRESHOLD` value to control the splitting of web content into chunks for parallel processing. A higher value means fewer chunks and faster processing, but it may cause issues with weaker LLMs during extraction.
|
||||
- Modify the `MIN_WORD_THRESHOLD` value to set the minimum number of words an HTML tag must contain to be considered a meaningful block.
|
||||
### Using LLMExtractionStrategy
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to set the appropriate API keys for each provider in the `PROVIDER_MODELS` dictionary. You can either directly provide the API key or use environment variables to store them securely.
|
||||
Without instructions:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
result = crawler.run(
|
||||
url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
extraction_strategy=LLMExtractionStrategy(
|
||||
provider="openai/gpt-4o",
|
||||
api_token=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Remember to update the `crawler/config.py` file based on your specific requirements and the providers you want to use with Crawl4AI.
|
||||
With instructions:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
result = crawler.run(
|
||||
url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
extraction_strategy=LLMExtractionStrategy(
|
||||
provider="openai/gpt-4o",
|
||||
api_token=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
|
||||
instruction="I am interested in only financial news"
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Targeted extraction using CSS selector
|
||||
|
||||
Extract only H2 tags:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
result = crawler.run(
|
||||
url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business",
|
||||
css_selector="h2"
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Passing JavaScript code to click 'Load More' button

|
||||
```python
|
||||
js_code = """
|
||||
const loadMoreButton = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('button')).find(button => button.textContent.includes('Load More'));
|
||||
loadMoreButton && loadMoreButton.click();
|
||||
"""
|
||||
crawler_strategy = LocalSeleniumCrawlerStrategy(js_code=js_code)

## Chunking Strategies 📚
|
||||
|
||||
### RegexChunking
|
||||
|
||||
`RegexChunking` is a text chunking strategy that splits a given text into smaller parts using regular expressions. This is useful for preparing large texts for processing by language models, ensuring they are divided into manageable segments.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constructor Parameters:**
|
||||
- `patterns` (list, optional): A list of regular expression patterns used to split the text. Default is to split by double newlines (`['\n\n']`).
|
||||
|
||||
**Example usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
chunker = RegexChunking(patterns=[r'\n\n', r'\. '])
|
||||
chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into chunks.")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### NlpSentenceChunking
|
||||
|
||||
`NlpSentenceChunking` uses a natural language processing model to chunk a given text into sentences. This approach leverages SpaCy to accurately split text based on sentence boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constructor Parameters:**
|
||||
- None.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
chunker = NlpSentenceChunking()
|
||||
chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into sentences.")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### TopicSegmentationChunking
|
||||
|
||||
`TopicSegmentationChunking` uses the TextTiling algorithm to segment a given text into topic-based chunks. This method identifies thematic boundaries in the text.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constructor Parameters:**
|
||||
- `num_keywords` (int, optional): The number of keywords to extract for each topic segment. Default is `3`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
chunker = TopicSegmentationChunking(num_keywords=3)
|
||||
chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into topic-based segments.")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### FixedLengthWordChunking
|
||||
|
||||
`FixedLengthWordChunking` splits a given text into chunks of fixed length, based on the number of words.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constructor Parameters:**
|
||||
- `chunk_size` (int, optional): The number of words in each chunk. Default is `100`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
chunker = FixedLengthWordChunking(chunk_size=100)
|
||||
chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split into fixed-length word chunks.")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SlidingWindowChunking
|
||||
|
||||
`SlidingWindowChunking` uses a sliding window approach to chunk a given text. Each chunk has a fixed length, and the window slides by a specified step size.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constructor Parameters:**
|
||||
- `window_size` (int, optional): The number of words in each chunk. Default is `100`.
|
||||
- `step` (int, optional): The number of words to slide the window. Default is `50`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
chunker = SlidingWindowChunking(window_size=100, step=50)
|
||||
chunks = chunker.chunk("This is a sample text. It will be split using a sliding window approach.")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Extraction Strategies 🧠
|
||||
|
||||
### NoExtractionStrategy
|
||||
|
||||
`NoExtractionStrategy` is a basic extraction strategy that returns the entire HTML content without any modification. It is useful for cases where no specific extraction is required.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constructor Parameters:**
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
extractor = NoExtractionStrategy()
|
||||
extracted_content = extractor.extract(url, html)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### LLMExtractionStrategy
|
||||
|
||||
`LLMExtractionStrategy` uses a Language Model (LLM) to extract meaningful blocks or chunks from the given HTML content. This strategy leverages an external provider for language model completions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constructor Parameters:**
|
||||
- `provider` (str, optional): The provider to use for the language model completions. Default is `DEFAULT_PROVIDER` (e.g., openai/gpt-4).
|
||||
- `api_token` (str, optional): The API token for the provider. If not provided, it will try to load from the environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
|
||||
- `instruction` (str, optional): An instruction to guide the LLM on how to perform the extraction. This allows users to specify the type of data they are interested in or set the tone of the response. Default is `None`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
extractor = LLMExtractionStrategy(provider='openai', api_token='your_api_token', instruction='Extract only news about AI.')
|
||||
extracted_content = extractor.extract(url, html)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CosineStrategy
|
||||
|
||||
`CosineStrategy` uses hierarchical clustering based on cosine similarity to extract clusters of text from the given HTML content. This strategy is suitable for identifying related content sections.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constructor Parameters:**
|
||||
- `semantic_filter` (str, optional): A string containing keywords for filtering relevant documents before clustering. If provided, documents are filtered based on their cosine similarity to the keyword filter embedding. Default is `None`.
|
||||
- `word_count_threshold` (int, optional): Minimum number of words per cluster. Default is `20`.
|
||||
- `max_dist` (float, optional): The maximum cophenetic distance on the dendrogram to form clusters. Default is `0.2`.
|
||||
- `linkage_method` (str, optional): The linkage method for hierarchical clustering. Default is `'ward'`.
|
||||
- `top_k` (int, optional): Number of top categories to extract. Default is `3`.
|
||||
- `model_name` (str, optional): The model name for embedding generation. Default is `'BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5'`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
extractor = CosineStrategy(semantic_filter='finance rental prices', word_count_threshold=10, max_dist=0.2, linkage_method='ward', top_k=3, model_name='BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5')
|
||||
extracted_content = extractor.extract(url, html)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### TopicExtractionStrategy
|
||||
|
||||
`TopicExtractionStrategy` uses the TextTiling algorithm to segment the HTML content into topics and extracts keywords for each segment. This strategy is useful for identifying and summarizing thematic content.
|
||||
|
||||
**Constructor Parameters:**
|
||||
- `num_keywords` (int, optional): Number of keywords to represent each topic segment. Default is `3`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
extractor = TopicExtractionStrategy(num_keywords=3)
|
||||
extracted_content = extractor.extract(url, html)
|
||||
```
