feat: Add prompt-driven recursive crawler script

Open tmocky1134 opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

This commit introduces a new example script, prompt_driven_crawler.py, located in docs/examples/.

The script enables you to perform a recursive crawl starting from a given URL. It uses an LLM (OpenAI GPT model) to extract content relevant to your provided prompt.

Key features:

  • Takes a start URL and a natural language prompt as input.
  • Recursively crawls pages up to a specified depth.
  • Uses KeywordRelevanceScorer to guide the crawler towards links relevant to your prompt.
  • Employs LLMContentFilter to extract information pertinent to the prompt from each crawled page.
  • Saves the extracted content for each page as a separate Markdown file in your specified output directory (output_dir/markdown/).
  • Generates a scraped_data.json file in output_dir/ summarizing the crawl, including URLs, prompts, paths to markdown files, page titles, and relevance scores.
  • Requires an OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.

A prompt_driven_crawler_README.md has been added to explain setup and usage.

The openai>=1.0.0 dependency has also been added to the main requirements.txt file.

Poem

A rabbit with prompts, a crawler at hand,
Hops through the web, across digital land.
Markdown and JSON, neatly in tow,
With OpenAI’s help, the insights will flow.
New scripts and docs, dependencies too—
This bunny’s web quest is ready for you! 🐇✨
