I am actually curious if this would work with other kind of models. I always had the idea to try to use Bert for this kind of things, but I think a following instructions model would be needed for a good performance. |
|
Yes, I'd love to see this on the new alpaca models. The major problem that I see (not understanding how this prompts OpenAI under the hood) is that successful prompts are much trickier with models like alpaca and llama. |
|
Hmm.... Didn't Cohere make their models free to call (albeit with a rate limit)? This could make using this much much more viable for scraping a few small pages. EDIT: Their models seem to be too weird for this, I've tried. |
|
I'd love to see support for OpenAssistent models. |
Perhaps someone could train some seq2seq model precisely for this task... |
|
If anyone wants to work on this let me know, I'd love to discuss approaches |
|
The groundwork for this is there after some recent refactors, I am hoping to get access to Claude soon as with its 100k token limit it'd be amazing to see how it performs. Updating the parent issue w/ the status of some other models as well. |
|
How about adding Falcon 7B and/or 40B LLM model support? |
|
@jamesturk I'm very interested in support for Claude 100k. Happy to work on a PR for this if you're welcoming contributors. |

# API Reference
## `SchemaScraper`
The `SchemaScraper` class is the main interface to the API.
It has one required parameter:
* `schema` - A dictionary describing the shape of the data you wish to extract.
And the following optional parameters:
* `models` - *list\[str\]* - A list of models to use, in order of preference. Defaults to `["gpt-3.5-turbo", "gpt-4"]`. (See [supported models](../openai/#costs) for details.
* `model_params` - *dict* - A dictionary of parameters to pass to the underlying GPT model. (See [OpenAI docs](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/create-completion) for details.)
* `max_cost` - *float* (dollars) - The maximum total cost of calls made using this scraper. This is set to 1 ($1.00) by default to avoid large unexpected charges.
* `extra_instructions` - *list\[str\]* - Additional instructions to pass to the GPT model as a system prompt.
* `extra_preprocessors` - *list* - A list of preprocessors to run on the HTML before sending it to the API. This is in addition to the default preprocessors.
* `postprocessors` - *list* - A list of postprocessors to run on the results before returning them. If provided, this will override the default postprocessors.
* `auto_split_length` - *int* - If set, the scraper will split the page into multiple calls, each of this length. See auto-splitting for details.
## `scrape`
The `scrape` method of a `SchemaScraper` is used to scrape a page.
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper.scrape("https://example.com")
```
* `url_or_html` - The first parameter should be a URL or HTML string to scrape.
* `extra_preprocessors` - A list of Preprocessors to run on the HTML before sending it to the API.
It is also possible to call the scraper directly, which is equivalent to calling `scrape`:
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper("https://example.com")
# same as writing
scraper.scrape("https://example.com")
```
## Exceptions
The following exceptions can be raised by the scraper:
(all are subclasses of `ScrapeghostError`)
### `MaxCostExceeded`
The maximum cost of the scraper has been exceeded.
Raise the `max_cost` parameter to allow more calls to be made.
### `PreprocessorError`
A preprocessor encountered an error (such as returning an empty list of nodes).
### `TooManyTokens`
Raised when the number of tokens being sent exceeds the maximum allowed.
This indicates that the HTML is too large to be processed by the API.
!!! tip
Consider using the `css` or `xpath` selectors to reduce the number of tokens being sent, or use the `auto_split_length` parameter to split the request into multiple requests if necessary.
### `BadStop`
Indicates that OpenAI ran out of space before the stop token was reached.
!!! tip
OpenAI considers both the input and the response tokens when determining if the token limit has been exceeded.
If you are using `auto_split_length`, consider decreasing the value to leave more space for responses.
### `InvalidJSON`
Indicates that the JSON returned by the API is invalid.
# Usage
## Data Flow
Since most of the work is done by the API, the job of a `SchemaScraper` is to make it easier to pass HTML and get valid output.
If you are going to go beyond the basics, it is important to understand the data flow:
1. The page HTML is passed through any [preprocessors](#preprocessors).
a. The `CleanHTML` preprocessor removes unnecessary tags and attributes. (This is done by default.)
b. If an `XPath` or `CSS` preprocessor is used, the results are selected and re-combined into a single HTML string.
c. Custom preprocessors can also execute here.
2. The HTML and schema are sent to the LLM with instructions to extract.
3. The results are passed through any [postprocessors](#postprocessors).
a. The `JSONPostprocessor` converts the results to JSON. (This is done by default.) If the results are not valid JSON, a second (much smaller) request can be made to ask it to fix the JSON.
b. Custom postprocessors can also execute here.
You can modify nearly any part of the process to suit your needs. (See [Customization](#customization) for more details.)
### Auto-splitting
While the flow above covers most cases, there is one special case that is worth mentioning.
If you set the `auto_split_length` parameter to a positive integer, the HTML will be split into multiple requests where each
request aims to be no larger than `auto_split_length` tokens.
!!! warning
In **list mode**, a single call can make many requests. Keep an eye on the `max_cost` parameter if you're using this.
While this seems to work well enough for long lists of similar items, the question of it is worth the time and money is up to you.
Writing a bit of code is probably the better option in most cases.
Instead of recombining the results of the `XPath` or `CSS` preprocessor, the results are instead chunked into smaller pieces (<= `auto_split_length`) and sent to the API separately.
The instructions are also modified slightly, indicating that your schema is for a list of similar items.
## Customization
To make it easier to experiment with different approaches, it is possible to customize nearly every part of the process from how the HTML is retrieved to how the results are processed.
### HTTP Requests
Instead of providing mechanisms to customize the HTTP request made by the library (e.g. to use caching, or make a `POST`), you can simply pass already retrieved HTML to the `scrape` method.
This means you can use any HTTP library you want to retrieve the HTML.
### Preprocessors
Preprocessors allow you to modify the HTML before it is sent to the API.
Three preprocessors are provided:
* `CleanHTML` - Cleans the HTML using `lxml.html.clean.Cleaner`.
* `XPath` - Applies an XPath selector to the HTML.
* `CSS` - Applies a CSS selector to the HTML.
!!! note
`CleanHTML` is always applied first, as it is part of the default preprocessors list.
You can add your own preprocessors by passing a list to the `extra_preprocessors` parameter of `SchemaScraper`.
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema, extra_preprocessors=[CSS("table")])
```
It is also possible to pass preprocessors at scrape time:
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper.scrape("https://example.com", extra_preprocessors=[CSS("table")])
```
Implementing your own preprocessor is simple, just create a callable that takes a `lxml.html.HtmlElement` and returns a list of one or more `lxml.html.HtmlElement` objects. Look at `preprocessors.py` for examples.
### Altering the Instructions to GPT
Right now you can pass additional instructions to GPT by passing a list of strings to the `extra_instructions` parameter of `SchemaScraper`.
You can also pass `model_params` to pass additional arguments to the API.
```python
schema = {"name": "str", "committees": [], "bio": "str"}
scraper = SchemaScraper(
schema,
models=["gpt-4"],
extra_instructions=["Put the legislator's bio in the 'bio' field. Summarize it so that it is no longer than 3 sentences."],
)
scraper.scrape("https://norton.house.gov/about/full-biography").data
```
```json
{'name': 'Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton',
'committees': [
'House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit',
'Committee on Oversight and Reform',
'Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure'
],
'bio': 'Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has been serving as the congresswoman for the District of Columbia since 1991. She is the Chair of the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit and serves on two committees: the Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Before her congressional service, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to serve as the first woman to chair the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.'}
```
These instructions can be useful for refining the results, but they are not required.
### Altering the API / Model
See <jamesturk/scrapeghost#18>
## Postprocessors
Postprocessors take the results of the API call and modify them before returning them to the user.
Three postprocessors are provided:
* `JSONPostprocessor` - Converts the results to JSON.
* `HallucinationChecker` - Checks the results for hallucinations.
* `PydanticPostprocessor` - Converts the results to JSON and validates them using a `pydantic` model.
By default, `JSONPostprocessor` and `HallucinationChecker` are enabled.
`HallucinationChecker` verifies that values in the response are present in the source HTML. This is useful for ensuring that the results are not "hallucinations".
This is done as a proof of concept, and to help determine how big of an issue hallucinations are for this use case.
### Using `pydantic` Models
If you want to validate that the returned data isn't just JSON, but data in the format you expect, you can use `pydantic` models.
```python
from pydantic import BaseModel
from scrapeghost import SchemaScraper, CSS
class CrewMember(BaseModel):
gender: str
race: str
alignment: str
# passing a pydantic model to the SchemaScraper # will generate a schema from it
# and add the PydanticPostprocessor to the postprocessors
scrape_crewmember = SchemaScraper(schema=CrewMember)
result = scrape_crewmember.scrape(
"https://spaceghost.fandom.com/wiki/Zorak",
extra_preprocessors=[CSS(".infobox")],
)
print(repr(result.data))
```
```log
CrewMember(gender='Male', race='Dokarian', alignment='Evil\\nProtagonist')
```
This works by converting the `pydantic` model to a schema and registering a `PydanticPostprocessor` to validate the results automatically.
## Pagination
One technique to handle pagination is provided by the `PaginatedSchemaScraper` class.
This class takes a schema that describes a single result, and wraps it in a schema that describes a list of results as well as an additional page.
For example:
```python
{"first_name": "str", "last_name": "str"}
```
Automatically becomes:
```python
{"next_page": "url", "results": [{"first_name": "str", "last_name": "str"}]}
```
The `PaginatedSchemaScraper` class then takes care of following the `next_page` link until there are no more pages.
!!! note
Right now, given the library's stance on customizing requests being "just use your own HTTP library", the `PaginatedSchemaScraper` class does not provide a means to customize the HTTP request used to retrieve the next page.
If you need a more complicated approach it is recommended you implement your own pagination logic for now,
<https://github.com/jamesturk/scrapeghost/blob/main/src/scrapeghost/scrapers.py#L238> may be a good starting point.
If you have strong opinions here, please open an issue to discuss.
It then takes the combined "results" and returns them to the user.
Here's a functional example that scrapes several pages of employees:
```python
import json
from scrapeghost.scrapers import PaginatedSchemaScraper
schema = {"first_name": "str", "last_name": "str", "position": "str", "url": "url"}
url = "https://scrapple.fly.dev/staff"
scraper = PaginatedSchemaScraper(schema)
resp = scraper.scrape(url)
# the resulting response is a ScrapeResponse object just like any other
# all the results are gathered in resp.data
json.dump(resp.data, open("yoyodyne.json", "w"), indent=2)
```
!!! warning
One caveat of the current approach: The `url` attribute on a `ScraperResult` from a `PaginatedSchemaScraper` is a semicolon-delimited list of all the URLs that were scraped to produce that result.

```
ASSISTANT: To review Task 1 in `current_project.md`, we need to check the implementation of the `WebSearchAgent` class. The class is defined in the `src/marvin/tools/web.py` file.
The `WebSearchAgent` class should have the following methods:
1. `classify_query(self, query)`: Classify the user's query into predefined categories using the QueryType classifier.
2. `determine_search_requirements(self, live_context = {})`: Determine the search requirements based on the live context.
3. `modify_search_requirements(self, query, search_requirements)`: Modify the query and parameters based on the search requirements.
4. `search_web(self, query, live_context = {})`: Search the web based on the user's query and the live context using the DuckDuckGoSearch tool.
5. `extract_results(self, search_results)`: Extract the search results from the raw search results using ScrapeGhost and the DuckDuckGoSearch tool.
6. `parse_results(self, results)`: Parse the search results.
7. `evaluate_results(self, parsed_results, query)`: Evaluate the relevance of the parsed results in reference to the user query.
8. `respond_or_search_again(self, evaluated_results)`: Respond to the user's query or continue the search based on the evaluated results.
However, the provided `WebSearchAgent` class does not contain these methods. It seems that the class definition has been erased.
To implement Task 1, we need to add these methods to the `WebSearchAgent` class.
Here is the current `WebSearchAgent` class for reference:
```python
class WebSearchAgent(AIApplication):
description: str = "A custom web search agent"
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
super().__init__(**kwargs)
# We can add any additional initialization here
```
The `WebSearchAgent` class is currently a subclass of `AIApplication` and only contains an `__init__` method.
To uncheck Task 1 in `current_project.md`, you need to edit the markdown file and replace the checked checkbox `- [x]` with an unchecked checkbox `- [ ]`.
To document what remains to be done, you can add a new section in the markdown file detailing the missing methods in the `WebSearchAgent` class and the expected functionality of these methods.
Please add the `current_project.md` file to the chat so I can propose the necessary changes.
USER: I added these *read-write* files: current_project.md

…lement methods for classifying queries, determining search requirements, modifying search requirements, searching the web, extracting search results, parsing results, evaluating results, and responding to queries.
# Aider chat conversation:
USER: I added these *read-write* files: cookbook/apps/web_search_agent.py
ASSISTANT: Great! Now that we have the `cookbook/apps/web_search_agent.py` file in *read-write* mode, we can make changes to it. Could you please specify the changes you want to make to this file?
USER: Could you please review it in reference to the `current_project.md`, the `action_based_spec.md`, and all other referenced files, along with the full (unfinished) `WebSearchAgent` definition that I shared to the chat, and write out where we are and what we need to do? From there, we can update the `current_project.md` file and proceed.
ASSISTANT: Sure, let's review the current state of the project and the tasks that need to be done.
The `current_project.md` file outlines the goal of the project, which is to enhance the existing `WebSearchAgent` in the Marvin platform. The `WebSearchAgent` is expected to classify a user query, search the web, scrape results, synthesize those results, compare them with the user query, and loop until an answer is found or the user stops the process.
The `WebSearchAgent` class is defined in the `cookbook/apps/web_search_agent.py` file. It has been extended to create a custom agent, `CustomWebSearchAgent`, which is expected to implement several methods. These methods include:
1. `classify_query(self, query)`: Classify the user's query into predefined categories using the QueryType classifier.
2. `determine_search_requirements(self, live_context = {})`: Determine the search requirements based on the live context.
3. `modify_search_requirements(self, query, search_requirements)`: Modify the query and parameters based on the search requirements.
4. `search_web(self, query, live_context = {})`: Search the web based on the user's query and the live context using the DuckDuckGoSearch tool.
5. `extract_results(self, search_results)`: Extract the search results from the raw search results using ScrapeGhost and the DuckDuckGoSearch tool.
6. `parse_results(self, results)`: Parse the search results.
7. `evaluate_results(self, parsed_results, query)`: Evaluate the relevance of the parsed results in reference to the user query.
8. `respond_or_search_again(self, evaluated_results)`: Respond to the user's query or continue the search based on the evaluated results.
The `action_based_spec.md` file provides specifications for various AI tools that should be leveraged to power much of the logic in the `WebSearchAgent`. These tools include the `AIEnum` component for classifying the user's query and the `AIModel` component for parsing the search results.
Based on the current state of the project, the following tasks need to be done:
1. Implement the `classify_query` method in the custom agent to suit specific classification requirements.
2. Implement the `determine_search_requirements` and `modify_search_requirements` methods to process the `live_context` and generate a relevant web query.
3. Implement the `parse_results` method to parse the search results using the `GitHubRepo` and `APIDoc` models.
4. Add a new method in the custom agent for synthesizing the parsed results into a coherent answer.
5. Add a new method in the custom agent for comparing the synthesized answer with the user query.
6. Modify the `respond_or_search_again` method in the custom agent to loop the search, scrape, synthesize, and compare process until an answer is found or the user stops the process.
7. Modify the `respond_or_search_again` method in the custom agent to respond to the user with the final answer in a user-friendly format.
Let's update the `current_project.md` file to reflect the current state of the project and the tasks that need to be done.
USER: Please do so. Please take as much granular data as you can from this WebSearchAgent definition --> it's unfinished, but I wrote it at length and by hand to support this: ```from marvin import AIApplication

# API Reference
## `SchemaScraper`
The `SchemaScraper` class is the main interface to the API.
It has one required parameter:
* `schema` - A dictionary describing the shape of the data you wish to extract.
And the following optional parameters:
* `models` - *list\[str\]* - A list of models to use, in order of preference. Defaults to `["gpt-3.5-turbo", "gpt-4"]`. (See [supported models](../openai/#costs) for details.
* `model_params` - *dict* - A dictionary of parameters to pass to the underlying GPT model. (See [OpenAI docs](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/create-completion) for details.)
* `max_cost` - *float* (dollars) - The maximum total cost of calls made using this scraper. This is set to 1 ($1.00) by default to avoid large unexpected charges.
* `extra_instructions` - *list\[str\]* - Additional instructions to pass to the GPT model as a system prompt.
* `extra_preprocessors` - *list* - A list of preprocessors to run on the HTML before sending it to the API. This is in addition to the default preprocessors.
* `postprocessors` - *list* - A list of postprocessors to run on the results before returning them. If provided, this will override the default postprocessors.
* `auto_split_length` - *int* - If set, the scraper will split the page into multiple calls, each of this length. See auto-splitting for details.
## `scrape`
The `scrape` method of a `SchemaScraper` is used to scrape a page.
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper.scrape("https://example.com")
```
* `url_or_html` - The first parameter should be a URL or HTML string to scrape.
* `extra_preprocessors` - A list of Preprocessors to run on the HTML before sending it to the API.
It is also possible to call the scraper directly, which is equivalent to calling `scrape`:
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper("https://example.com")
# same as writing
scraper.scrape("https://example.com")
```
## Exceptions
The following exceptions can be raised by the scraper:
(all are subclasses of `ScrapeghostError`)
### `MaxCostExceeded`
The maximum cost of the scraper has been exceeded.
Raise the `max_cost` parameter to allow more calls to be made.
### `PreprocessorError`
A preprocessor encountered an error (such as returning an empty list of nodes).
### `TooManyTokens`
Raised when the number of tokens being sent exceeds the maximum allowed.
This indicates that the HTML is too large to be processed by the API.
!!! tip
Consider using the `css` or `xpath` selectors to reduce the number of tokens being sent, or use the `auto_split_length` parameter to split the request into multiple requests if necessary.
### `BadStop`
Indicates that OpenAI ran out of space before the stop token was reached.
!!! tip
OpenAI considers both the input and the response tokens when determining if the token limit has been exceeded.
If you are using `auto_split_length`, consider decreasing the value to leave more space for responses.
### `InvalidJSON`
Indicates that the JSON returned by the API is invalid.
# Usage
## Data Flow
Since most of the work is done by the API, the job of a `SchemaScraper` is to make it easier to pass HTML and get valid output.
If you are going to go beyond the basics, it is important to understand the data flow:
1. The page HTML is passed through any [preprocessors](#preprocessors).
a. The `CleanHTML` preprocessor removes unnecessary tags and attributes. (This is done by default.)
b. If an `XPath` or `CSS` preprocessor is used, the results are selected and re-combined into a single HTML string.
c. Custom preprocessors can also execute here.
2. The HTML and schema are sent to the LLM with instructions to extract.
3. The results are passed through any [postprocessors](#postprocessors).
a. The `JSONPostprocessor` converts the results to JSON. (This is done by default.) If the results are not valid JSON, a second (much smaller) request can be made to ask it to fix the JSON.
b. Custom postprocessors can also execute here.
You can modify nearly any part of the process to suit your needs. (See [Customization](#customization) for more details.)
### Auto-splitting
While the flow above covers most cases, there is one special case that is worth mentioning.
If you set the `auto_split_length` parameter to a positive integer, the HTML will be split into multiple requests where each
request aims to be no larger than `auto_split_length` tokens.
!!! warning
In **list mode**, a single call can make many requests. Keep an eye on the `max_cost` parameter if you're using this.
While this seems to work well enough for long lists of similar items, the question of it is worth the time and money is up to you.
Writing a bit of code is probably the better option in most cases.
Instead of recombining the results of the `XPath` or `CSS` preprocessor, the results are instead chunked into smaller pieces (<= `auto_split_length`) and sent to the API separately.
The instructions are also modified slightly, indicating that your schema is for a list of similar items.
## Customization
To make it easier to experiment with different approaches, it is possible to customize nearly every part of the process from how the HTML is retrieved to how the results are processed.
### HTTP Requests
Instead of providing mechanisms to customize the HTTP request made by the library (e.g. to use caching, or make a `POST`), you can simply pass already retrieved HTML to the `scrape` method.
This means you can use any HTTP library you want to retrieve the HTML.
### Preprocessors
Preprocessors allow you to modify the HTML before it is sent to the API.
Three preprocessors are provided:
* `CleanHTML` - Cleans the HTML using `lxml.html.clean.Cleaner`.
* `XPath` - Applies an XPath selector to the HTML.
* `CSS` - Applies a CSS selector to the HTML.
!!! note
`CleanHTML` is always applied first, as it is part of the default preprocessors list.
You can add your own preprocessors by passing a list to the `extra_preprocessors` parameter of `SchemaScraper`.
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema, extra_preprocessors=[CSS("table")])
```
It is also possible to pass preprocessors at scrape time:
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper.scrape("https://example.com", extra_preprocessors=[CSS("table")])
```
Implementing your own preprocessor is simple, just create a callable that takes a `lxml.html.HtmlElement` and returns a list of one or more `lxml.html.HtmlElement` objects. Look at `preprocessors.py` for examples.
### Altering the Instructions to GPT
Right now you can pass additional instructions to GPT by passing a list of strings to the `extra_instructions` parameter of `SchemaScraper`.
You can also pass `model_params` to pass additional arguments to the API.
```python
schema = {"name": "str", "committees": [], "bio": "str"}
scraper = SchemaScraper(
schema,
models=["gpt-4"],
extra_instructions=["Put the legislator's bio in the 'bio' field. Summarize it so that it is no longer than 3 sentences."],
)
scraper.scrape("https://norton.house.gov/about/full-biography").data
```
```json
{'name': 'Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton',
'committees': [
'House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit',
'Committee on Oversight and Reform',
'Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure'
],
'bio': 'Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has been serving as the congresswoman for the District of Columbia since 1991. She is the Chair of the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit and serves on two committees: the Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Before her congressional service, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to serve as the first woman to chair the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.'}
```
These instructions can be useful for refining the results, but they are not required.
### Altering the API / Model
See <jamesturk/scrapeghost#18>
## Postprocessors
Postprocessors take the results of the API call and modify them before returning them to the user.
Three postprocessors are provided:
* `JSONPostprocessor` - Converts the results to JSON.
* `HallucinationChecker` - Checks the results for hallucinations.
* `PydanticPostprocessor` - Converts the results to JSON and validates them using a `pydantic` model.
By default, `JSONPostprocessor` and `HallucinationChecker` are enabled.
`HallucinationChecker` verifies that values in the response are present in the source HTML. This is useful for ensuring that the results are not "hallucinations".
This is done as a proof of concept, and to help determine how big of an issue hallucinations are for this use case.
### Using `pydantic` Models
If you want to validate that the returned data isn't just JSON, but data in the format you expect, you can use `pydantic` models.
```python
from pydantic import BaseModel
from scrapeghost import SchemaScraper, CSS
class CrewMember(BaseModel):
gender: str
race: str
alignment: str
# passing a pydantic model to the SchemaScraper # will generate a schema from it
# and add the PydanticPostprocessor to the postprocessors
scrape_crewmember = SchemaScraper(schema=CrewMember)
result = scrape_crewmember.scrape(
"https://spaceghost.fandom.com/wiki/Zorak",
extra_preprocessors=[CSS(".infobox")],
)
print(repr(result.data))
```
```log
CrewMember(gender='Male', race='Dokarian', alignment='Evil\\nProtagonist')
```
This works by converting the `pydantic` model to a schema and registering a `PydanticPostprocessor` to validate the results automatically.
## Pagination
One technique to handle pagination is provided by the `PaginatedSchemaScraper` class.
This class takes a schema that describes a single result, and wraps it in a schema that describes a list of results as well as an additional page.
For example:
```python
{"first_name": "str", "last_name": "str"}
```
Automatically becomes:
```python
{"next_page": "url", "results": [{"first_name": "str", "last_name": "str"}]}
```
The `PaginatedSchemaScraper` class then takes care of following the `next_page` link until there are no more pages.
!!! note
Right now, given the library's stance on customizing requests being "just use your own HTTP library", the `PaginatedSchemaScraper` class does not provide a means to customize the HTTP request used to retrieve the next page.
If you need a more complicated approach it is recommended you implement your own pagination logic for now,
<https://github.com/jamesturk/scrapeghost/blob/main/src/scrapeghost/scrapers.py#L238> may be a good starting point.
If you have strong opinions here, please open an issue to discuss.
It then takes the combined "results" and returns them to the user.
Here's a functional example that scrapes several pages of employees:
```python
import json
from scrapeghost.scrapers import PaginatedSchemaScraper
schema = {"first_name": "str", "last_name": "str", "position": "str", "url": "url"}
url = "https://scrapple.fly.dev/staff"
scraper = PaginatedSchemaScraper(schema)
resp = scraper.scrape(url)
# the resulting response is a ScrapeResponse object just like any other
# all the results are gathered in resp.data
json.dump(resp.data, open("yoyodyne.json", "w"), indent=2)
```
!!! warning
One caveat of the current approach: The `url` attribute on a `ScraperResult` from a `PaginatedSchemaScraper` is a semicolon-delimited list of all the URLs that were scraped to produce that result.

## API Spec Snippets
### AI Classifier Spec
`ai_classifier` is implemented as a Python decorator that adds additional attributes and methods to an Enum class.
```python
from src.marvin.components.ai_classifier import ai_classifier
@ai_classifier
class Color(Enum):
RED = 1
GREEN = 2
BLUE = 3
# Classify text
color = Color("I like the color of the sky.")
print(color) # Color.BLUE
```
### AIFunction Spec
`AIFunction` is a class that represents a Python function with a signature and docstring as a prompt for an AI to predict the function's output.
```python
from src.marvin.components.ai_function import ai_fn
@ai_fn
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
"""Adds two integers."""
# Predict function output
result = add(1, 2)
print(result) # 3
```
### ScrapeGhost Spec
ScrapeGhost is a tool for extracting structured data from web pages using GPT-3. It takes a schema that describes the shape of the data you wish to extract, and returns a dictionary of that shape.
```python
from scrapeghost import SchemaScraper, CSS
schema = {"name": "str", "committees": [], "bio": "str"}
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
result = scraper.scrape("https://norton.house.gov/about/full-biography")
print(result.data)

# Aider chat conversation:
USER: I added these *read-write* files: action_based_spec.md
ASSISTANT: Great! Now that we have the `action_based_spec.md` file in *read-write* mode, we can make changes to it as needed.
Before we proceed, could you please clarify what specific changes or updates you would like to make to the `action_based_spec.md` file?
USER: I don't think we really need to update action_based_spec.md, although, perhaps we could copy the full-API definition of `scrapeghost` currently in a very long comment in our `WebSearchAgent` file over to it for future use/reference. Outside of that, we should use it as grounding to make sure we're calling the Marvin APIs properly, but outside of that, we should be good.
ASSISTANT: Understood. We will use the `action_based_spec.md` file as a reference to ensure we're using the Marvin APIs correctly in our `WebSearchAgent` class.
As for the `scrapeghost` API definition, we can certainly move it from the `WebSearchAgent` file to the `action_based_spec.md` file for better organization and future reference. Here's how we can do that:
1. Remove the `scrapeghost` API definition from the `WebSearchAgent` file.
2. Add the `scrapeghost` API definition to the `action_based_spec.md` file.
Let's start with the first step:

# API Reference
## `SchemaScraper`
The `SchemaScraper` class is the main interface to the API.
It has one required parameter:
* `schema` - A dictionary describing the shape of the data you wish to extract.
And the following optional parameters:
* `models` - *list\[str\]* - A list of models to use, in order of preference. Defaults to `["gpt-3.5-turbo", "gpt-4"]`. (See [supported models](../openai/#costs) for details.
* `model_params` - *dict* - A dictionary of parameters to pass to the underlying GPT model. (See [OpenAI docs](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/create-completion) for details.)
* `max_cost` - *float* (dollars) - The maximum total cost of calls made using this scraper. This is set to 1 ($1.00) by default to avoid large unexpected charges.
* `extra_instructions` - *list\[str\]* - Additional instructions to pass to the GPT model as a system prompt.
* `extra_preprocessors` - *list* - A list of preprocessors to run on the HTML before sending it to the API. This is in addition to the default preprocessors.
* `postprocessors` - *list* - A list of postprocessors to run on the results before returning them. If provided, this will override the default postprocessors.
* `auto_split_length` - *int* - If set, the scraper will split the page into multiple calls, each of this length. See auto-splitting for details.
## `scrape`
The `scrape` method of a `SchemaScraper` is used to scrape a page.
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper.scrape("https://example.com")
```
* `url_or_html` - The first parameter should be a URL or HTML string to scrape.
* `extra_preprocessors` - A list of Preprocessors to run on the HTML before sending it to the API.
It is also possible to call the scraper directly, which is equivalent to calling `scrape`:
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper("https://example.com")
# same as writing
scraper.scrape("https://example.com")
```
## Exceptions
The following exceptions can be raised by the scraper:
(all are subclasses of `ScrapeghostError`)
### `MaxCostExceeded`
The maximum cost of the scraper has been exceeded.
Raise the `max_cost` parameter to allow more calls to be made.
### `PreprocessorError`
A preprocessor encountered an error (such as returning an empty list of nodes).
### `TooManyTokens`
Raised when the number of tokens being sent exceeds the maximum allowed.
This indicates that the HTML is too large to be processed by the API.
!!! tip
Consider using the `css` or `xpath` selectors to reduce the number of tokens being sent, or use the `auto_split_length` parameter to split the request into multiple requests if necessary.
### `BadStop`
Indicates that OpenAI ran out of space before the stop token was reached.
!!! tip
OpenAI considers both the input and the response tokens when determining if the token limit has been exceeded.
If you are using `auto_split_length`, consider decreasing the value to leave more space for responses.
### `InvalidJSON`
Indicates that the JSON returned by the API is invalid.
# Usage
## Data Flow
Since most of the work is done by the API, the job of a `SchemaScraper` is to make it easier to pass HTML and get valid output.
If you are going to go beyond the basics, it is important to understand the data flow:
1. The page HTML is passed through any [preprocessors](#preprocessors).
a. The `CleanHTML` preprocessor removes unnecessary tags and attributes. (This is done by default.)
b. If an `XPath` or `CSS` preprocessor is used, the results are selected and re-combined into a single HTML string.
c. Custom preprocessors can also execute here.
2. The HTML and schema are sent to the LLM with instructions to extract.
3. The results are passed through any [postprocessors](#postprocessors).
a. The `JSONPostprocessor` converts the results to JSON. (This is done by default.) If the results are not valid JSON, a second (much smaller) request can be made to ask it to fix the JSON.
b. Custom postprocessors can also execute here.
You can modify nearly any part of the process to suit your needs. (See [Customization](#customization) for more details.)
### Auto-splitting
While the flow above covers most cases, there is one special case that is worth mentioning.
If you set the `auto_split_length` parameter to a positive integer, the HTML will be split into multiple requests where each
request aims to be no larger than `auto_split_length` tokens.
!!! warning
In **list mode**, a single call can make many requests. Keep an eye on the `max_cost` parameter if you're using this.
While this seems to work well enough for long lists of similar items, the question of it is worth the time and money is up to you.
Writing a bit of code is probably the better option in most cases.
Instead of recombining the results of the `XPath` or `CSS` preprocessor, the results are instead chunked into smaller pieces (<= `auto_split_length`) and sent to the API separately.
The instructions are also modified slightly, indicating that your schema is for a list of similar items.
## Customization
To make it easier to experiment with different approaches, it is possible to customize nearly every part of the process from how the HTML is retrieved to how the results are processed.
### HTTP Requests
Instead of providing mechanisms to customize the HTTP request made by the library (e.g. to use caching, or make a `POST`), you can simply pass already retrieved HTML to the `scrape` method.
This means you can use any HTTP library you want to retrieve the HTML.
### Preprocessors
Preprocessors allow you to modify the HTML before it is sent to the API.
Three preprocessors are provided:
* `CleanHTML` - Cleans the HTML using `lxml.html.clean.Cleaner`.
* `XPath` - Applies an XPath selector to the HTML.
* `CSS` - Applies a CSS selector to the HTML.
!!! note
`CleanHTML` is always applied first, as it is part of the default preprocessors list.
You can add your own preprocessors by passing a list to the `extra_preprocessors` parameter of `SchemaScraper`.
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema, extra_preprocessors=[CSS("table")])
```
It is also possible to pass preprocessors at scrape time:
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper.scrape("https://example.com", extra_preprocessors=[CSS("table")])
```
Implementing your own preprocessor is simple, just create a callable that takes a `lxml.html.HtmlElement` and returns a list of one or more `lxml.html.HtmlElement` objects. Look at `preprocessors.py` for examples.
### Altering the Instructions to GPT
Right now you can pass additional instructions to GPT by passing a list of strings to the `extra_instructions` parameter of `SchemaScraper`.
You can also pass `model_params` to pass additional arguments to the API.
```python
schema = {"name": "str", "committees": [], "bio": "str"}
scraper = SchemaScraper(
schema,
models=["gpt-4"],
extra_instructions=["Put the legislator's bio in the 'bio' field. Summarize it so that it is no longer than 3 sentences."],
)
scraper.scrape("https://norton.house.gov/about/full-biography").data
```
```json
{'name': 'Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton',
'committees': [
'House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit',
'Committee on Oversight and Reform',
'Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure'
],
'bio': 'Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has been serving as the congresswoman for the District of Columbia since 1991. She is the Chair of the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit and serves on two committees: the Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Before her congressional service, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to serve as the first woman to chair the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.'}
```
These instructions can be useful for refining the results, but they are not required.
### Altering the API / Model
See <jamesturk/scrapeghost#18>
## Postprocessors
Postprocessors take the results of the API call and modify them before returning them to the user.
Three postprocessors are provided:
* `JSONPostprocessor` - Converts the results to JSON.
* `HallucinationChecker` - Checks the results for hallucinations.
* `PydanticPostprocessor` - Converts the results to JSON and validates them using a `pydantic` model.
By default, `JSONPostprocessor` and `HallucinationChecker` are enabled.
`HallucinationChecker` verifies that values in the response are present in the source HTML. This is useful for ensuring that the results are not "hallucinations".
This is done as a proof of concept, and to help determine how big of an issue hallucinations are for this use case.
### Using `pydantic` Models
If you want to validate that the returned data isn't just JSON, but data in the format you expect, you can use `pydantic` models.
```python
from pydantic import BaseModel
from scrapeghost import SchemaScraper, CSS
class CrewMember(BaseModel):
gender: str
race: str
alignment: str
# passing a pydantic model to the SchemaScraper # will generate a schema from it
# and add the PydanticPostprocessor to the postprocessors
scrape_crewmember = SchemaScraper(schema=CrewMember)
result = scrape_crewmember.scrape(
"https://spaceghost.fandom.com/wiki/Zorak",
extra_preprocessors=[CSS(".infobox")],
)
print(repr(result.data))
```
```log
CrewMember(gender='Male', race='Dokarian', alignment='Evil\\nProtagonist')
```
This works by converting the `pydantic` model to a schema and registering a `PydanticPostprocessor` to validate the results automatically.
## Pagination
One technique to handle pagination is provided by the `PaginatedSchemaScraper` class.
This class takes a schema that describes a single result, and wraps it in a schema that describes a list of results as well as an additional page.
For example:
```python
{"first_name": "str", "last_name": "str"}
```
Automatically becomes:
```python
{"next_page": "url", "results": [{"first_name": "str", "last_name": "str"}]}
```
The `PaginatedSchemaScraper` class then takes care of following the `next_page` link until there are no more pages.
!!! note
Right now, given the library's stance on customizing requests being "just use your own HTTP library", the `PaginatedSchemaScraper` class does not provide a means to customize the HTTP request used to retrieve the next page.
If you need a more complicated approach it is recommended you implement your own pagination logic for now,
<https://github.com/jamesturk/scrapeghost/blob/main/src/scrapeghost/scrapers.py#L238> may be a good starting point.
If you have strong opinions here, please open an issue to discuss.
It then takes the combined "results" and returns them to the user.
Here's a functional example that scrapes several pages of employees:
```python
import json
from scrapeghost.scrapers import PaginatedSchemaScraper
schema = {"first_name": "str", "last_name": "str", "position": "str", "url": "url"}
url = "https://scrapple.fly.dev/staff"
scraper = PaginatedSchemaScraper(schema)
resp = scraper.scrape(url)
# the resulting response is a ScrapeResponse object just like any other
# all the results are gathered in resp.data
json.dump(resp.data, open("yoyodyne.json", "w"), indent=2)
```
!!! warning
One caveat of the current approach: The `url` attribute on a `ScraperResult` from a `PaginatedSchemaScraper` is a semicolon-delimited list of all the URLs that were scraped to produce that result.

## ScrapeGhost
ScrapeGhost is a tool for extracting structured data from web pages using GPT-3. It takes a schema that describes the shape of the data you wish to extract, and returns a dictionary of that shape.
### API Reference
#### `SchemaScraper`
The `SchemaScraper` class is the main interface to the API.
It has one required parameter:
* `schema` - A dictionary describing the shape of the data you wish to extract.
And the following optional parameters:
* `models` - *list\[str\]* - A list of models to use, in order of preference. Defaults to `["gpt-3.5-turbo", "gpt-4"]`. (See [supported models](../openai/#costs) for details.
* `model_params` - *dict* - A dictionary of parameters to pass to the underlying GPT model. (See [OpenAI docs](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/create-completion) for details.)
* `max_cost` - *float* (dollars) - The maximum total cost of calls made using this scraper. This is set to 1 ($1.00) by default to avoid large unexpected charges.
* `extra_instructions` - *list\[str\]* - Additional instructions to pass to the GPT model as a system prompt.
* `extra_preprocessors` - *list* - A list of preprocessors to run on the HTML before sending it to the API. This is in addition to the default preprocessors.
* `postprocessors` - *list* - A list of postprocessors to run on the results before returning them. If provided, this will override the default postprocessors.
* `auto_split_length` - *int* - If set, the scraper will split the page into multiple calls, each of this length. See auto-splitting for details.
#### `scrape`
The `scrape` method of a `SchemaScraper` is used to scrape a page.
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper.scrape("https://example.com")
```
* `url_or_html` - The first parameter should be a URL or HTML string to scrape.
* `extra_preprocessors` - A list of Preprocessors to run on the HTML before sending it to the API.
It is also possible to call the scraper directly, which is equivalent to calling `scrape`:
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper("https://example.com")
# same as writing
scraper.scrape("https://example.com")
```
#### Exceptions
The following exceptions can be raised by the scraper:
(all are subclasses of `ScrapeghostError`)
##### `MaxCostExceeded`
The maximum cost of the scraper has been exceeded.
Raise the `max_cost` parameter to allow more calls to be made.
##### `PreprocessorError`
A preprocessor encountered an error (such as returning an empty list of nodes).
##### `TooManyTokens`
Raised when the number of tokens being sent exceeds the maximum allowed.
This indicates that the HTML is too large to be processed by the API.
!!! tip
Consider using the `css` or `xpath` selectors to reduce the number of tokens being sent, or use the `auto_split_length` parameter to split the request into multiple requests if necessary.
##### `BadStop`
Indicates that OpenAI ran out of space before the stop token was reached.
!!! tip
OpenAI considers both the input and the response tokens when determining if the token limit has been exceeded.
If you are using `auto_split_length`, consider decreasing the value to leave more space for responses.
##### `InvalidJSON`
Indicates that the JSON returned by the API is invalid.
### Usage
#### Data Flow
Since most of the work is done by the API, the job of a `SchemaScraper` is to make it easier to pass HTML and get valid output.
If you are going to go beyond the basics, it is important to understand the data flow:

b. If an `XPath` or `CSS` preprocessor is used, the results are selected and re-combined into a single HTML string.
c. Custom preprocessors can also execute here.
2. The HTML and schema are sent to the LLM with instructions to extract.
3. The results are passed through any [postprocessors](#postprocessors).
a. The `JSONPostprocessor` converts the results to JSON. (This is done by default.) If the results are not valid JSON, a second (much smaller) request can be made to ask it to fix the JSON.
b. Custom postprocessors can also execute here.
You can modify nearly any part of the process to suit your needs. (See [Customization](#customization) for more details.)

If you set the `auto_split_length` parameter to a positive integer, the HTML will be split into multiple requests where each
request aims to be no larger than `auto_split_length` tokens.
!!! warning
In **list mode**, a single call can make many requests. Keep an eye on the `max_cost` parameter if you're using this.
While this seems to work well enough for long lists of similar items, the question of it is worth the time and money is up to you.

#### Customization
To make it easier to experiment with different approaches, it is possible to customize nearly every part of the process from how the HTML is retrieved to how the results are processed.
##### HTTP Requests
Instead of providing mechanisms to customize the HTTP request made by the library (e.g. to use caching, or make a `POST`), you can simply pass already retrieved HTML to the `scrape` method.
This means you can use any HTTP library you want to retrieve the HTML.
##### Preprocessors
Preprocessors allow you to modify the HTML before it is sent to the API.
Three preprocessors are provided:
* `CleanHTML` - Cleans the HTML using `lxml.html.clean.Cleaner`.
* `XPath` - Applies an XPath selector to the HTML.
* `CSS` - Applies a CSS selector to the HTML.
!!! note
`CleanHTML` is always applied first, as it is part of the default preprocessors list.
You can add your own preprocessors by passing a list to the `extra_preprocessors` parameter of `SchemaScraper`.
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema, extra_preprocessors=[CSS("table")])
```
It is also possible to pass preprocessors at scrape time:
```python
scraper = SchemaScraper(schema)
scraper.scrape("https://example.com", extra_preprocessors=[CSS("table")])
```
Implementing your own preprocessor is simple, just create a callable that takes a `lxml.html.HtmlElement` and returns a list of one or more `lxml.html.HtmlElement` objects. Look at `preprocessors.py` for examples.
##### Altering the Instructions to GPT
Right now you can pass additional instructions to GPT by passing a list of strings to the `extra_instructions` parameter of `SchemaScraper`.
You can also pass `model_params` to pass additional arguments to the API.
```python
schema = {"name": "str", "committees": [], "bio": "str"}
scraper = SchemaScraper(
schema,
models=["gpt-4"],
extra_instructions=["Put the legislator's bio in the 'bio' field. Summarize it so that it is no longer than 3 sentences."],
)
scraper.scrape("https://norton.house.gov/about/full-biography").data
```
```json
{'name': 'Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton',
'committees': [
'House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit',
'Committee on Oversight and Reform',
'Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure'
],
'bio': 'Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has been serving as the congresswoman for the District of Columbia since 1991. She is the Chair of the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit and serves on two committees: the Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Before her congressional service, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to serve as the first woman to chair the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.'}
```
These instructions can be useful for refining the results, but they are not required.
##### Altering the API / Model
See <jamesturk/scrapeghost#18>
#### Postprocessors
Postprocessors take the results of the API call and modify them before returning them to the user.
Three postprocessors are provided:

scrape_crewmember = SchemaScraper(schema=CrewMember)
result = scrape_crewmember.scrape(
"https://spaceghost.fandom.com/wiki/Zorak",
extra_preprocessors=[CSS(".infobox")],
)
print(repr(result.data))
```
```log
CrewMember(gender='Male', race='Dokarian', alignment='Evil\\nProtagonist')

This seems like it'll be the most important task to make this more viable for people.
Alternative models will be cheaper, potentially much faster, allow running on someone's own hardware (LLaMa), and allow for more experimentation (e.g. models that are trained on HTML->JSON).
Quite a few models are attention free, which would remove the token limit altogether.
