WebBaseLoader

This covers how to use WebBaseLoader to load all text from HTML webpages into a document format that we can use downstream. For more custom logic for loading webpages look at some child class examples such as IMSDbLoader, AZLyricsLoader, and CollegeConfidentialLoader.

If you don't want to worry about website crawling, bypassing JS-blocking sites, and data cleaning, consider using FireCrawlLoader or the faster option SpiderLoader.

Setup​

Credentials​

WebBaseLoader does not require any credentials.

Installation​

To use the WebBaseLoader you first need to install the langchain-community python package.

%pip install -qU langchain_community beautifulsoup4

Initialization​

Now we can instantiate our model object and load documents:

from langchain_community.document_loaders import WebBaseLoader

loader = WebBaseLoader("https://www.espn.com/")
API Reference:WebBaseLoader

To bypass SSL verification errors during fetching, you can set the "verify" option:

loader.requests_kwargs = {'verify':False}

Initialization with multiple pages​

You can also pass in a list of pages to load from.

loader_multiple_pages = WebBaseLoader(["https://www.espn.com/", "https://google.com"])

You can speed up the scraping process by scraping and parsing multiple urls concurrently.

There are reasonable limits to concurrent requests, defaulting to 2 per second. If you aren't concerned about being a good citizen, or you control the server you are scraping and don't care about load, you can change the requests_per_second parameter to increase the max concurrent requests. Note, while this will speed up the scraping process, but may cause the server to block you. Be careful!

Using proxies​

Sometimes you might need to use proxies to get around IP blocks. You can pass in a dictionary of proxies to the loader (and requests underneath) to use them.

loader = WebBaseLoader(
"https://www.walmart.com/search?q=parrots",
proxies={
"http": "http://{username}:{password}:@proxy.service.com:6666/",
"https": "https://{username}:{password}:@proxy.service.com:6666/",
},
)
docs = loader.load()
