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 scrapped server, or don\'t care about load. Note, while this will speed up the scraping process, but it may cause the server to block you.

LangChain#\\nLarge language models (LLMs) are emerging as a transformative technology, enabling\\ndevelopers to build applications that they previously could not.\\nBut using these LLMs in isolation is often not enough to\\ncreate a truly powerful app - the real power comes when you are able to\\ncombine them with other sources of computation or knowledge.\\nThis library is aimed at assisting in the development of those types of applications. Common examples of these types of applications include:\\n❓ Question Answering over specific documents\\n\\nDocumentation\\nEnd-to-end Example: Question Answering over Notion Database\\n\\n💬 Chatbots\\n\\nDocumentation\\nEnd-to-end Example: Chat-LangChain\\n\\n🤖 Agents\\n\\nDocumentation\\nEnd-to-end Example: GPT+WolframAlpha\\n\\n\\nGetting Started#\\nCheckout the below guide for a walkthrough of how to get started using LangChain to create an Language Model application.\\n\\nGetting Started Documentation\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nModules#\\nThere are several main modules that LangChain provides support for.\\nFor each module we provide some examples to get started, how-to guides, reference docs, and conceptual guides.\\nThese modules are, in increasing order of complexity:\\n\\nPrompts: This includes prompt management, prompt optimization, and prompt serialization.\\nLLMs: This includes a generic interface for all LLMs, and common utilities for working with LLMs.\\nDocument Loaders: This includes a standard interface for loading documents, as well as specific integrations to all types of text data sources.\\nUtils: Language models are often more powerful when interacting with other sources of knowledge or computation. This can include Python REPLs, embeddings, search engines, and more. LangChain provides a large collection of common utils to use in your application.\\nChains: Chains go beyond just a single LLM call, and are sequences of calls (whether to an LLM or a different utility). LangChain provides a standard interface for chains, lots of integrations with other tools, and end-to-end chains for common applications.\\nIndexes: Language models are often more powerful when combined with your own text data - this module covers best practices for doing exactly that.\\nAgents: Agents involve an LLM making decisions about which Actions to take, taking that Action, seeing an Observation, and repeating that until done. LangChain provides a standard interface for agents, a selection of agents to choose from, and examples of end to end agents.\\nMemory: Memory is the concept of persisting state between calls of a chain/agent. LangChain provides a standard interface for memory, a collection of memory implementations, and examples of chains/agents that use memory.\\nChat: Chat models are a variation on Language Models that expose a different API - rather than working with raw text, they work with messages. LangChain provides a standard interface for working with them and doing all the same things as above.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nUse Cases#\\nThe above modules can be used in a variety of ways. LangChain also provides guidance and assistance in this. Below are some of the common use cases LangChain supports.\\n\\nAgents: Agents are systems that use a language model to interact with other tools. These can be used to do more grounded question/answering, interact with APIs, or even take actions.\\nChatbots: Since language models are good at producing text, that makes them ideal for creating chatbots.\\nData Augmented Generation: Data Augmented Generation involves specific types of chains that first interact with an external datasource to fetch data to use in the generation step. Examples of this include summarization of long pieces of text and question/answering over specific data sources.\\nQuestion Answering: Answering questions over specific documents, only utilizing the information in those documents to construct an answer. A type of Data Augmented Generation.\\nSummarization: Summarizing longer documents into shorter, more condensed chunks of information. A type of Data Augmented Generation.\\nQuerying Tabular Data: If you want to understand how to use LLMs to query data that is stored in a tabular format (csvs, SQL, dataframes, etc) you should read this page.\\nEvaluation: Generative models are notoriously hard to evaluate with traditional metrics. One new way of evaluating them is using language models themselves to do the evaluation. LangChain provides some prompts/chains for assisting in this.\\nGenerate similar examples: Generating similar examples to a given input. This is a common use case for many applications, and LangChain provides some prompts/chains for assisting in this.\\nCompare models: Experimenting with different prompts, models, and chains is a big part of developing the best possible application. The ModelLaboratory makes it easy to do so.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nReference Docs#\\nAll of LangChain’s reference documentation, in one place. Full documentation on all methods, classes, installation methods, and integration setups for LangChain.\\n\\nReference Documentation\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nLangChain Ecosystem#\\nGuides for how other companies/products can be used with LangChain\\n\\nLangChain Ecosystem\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAdditional Resources#\\nAdditional collection of resources we think may be useful as you develop your application!\\n\\nLangChainHub: The LangChainHub is a place to share and explore other prompts, chains, and agents.\\nGlossary: A glossary of all related terms, papers, methods, etc. Whether implemented in LangChain or not!\\nGallery: A collection of our favorite projects that use LangChain. Useful for finding inspiration or seeing how things were done in other applications.\\nDeployments: A collection of instructions, code snippets, and template repositories for deploying LangChain apps.\\nDiscord: Join us on our Discord to discuss all things LangChain!\\nTracing: A guide on using tracing in LangChain to visualize the execution of chains and agents.\\nProduction Support: As you move your LangChains into production, we’d love to offer more comprehensive support.

LangChain#\\nLangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. We believe that the most powerful and differentiated applications will not only call out to a language model via an API, but will also:\\n\\nBe data-aware: connect a language model to other sources of data\\nBe agentic: allow a language model to interact with its environment\\n\\nThe LangChain framework is designed with the above principles in mind.\\nThis is the Python specific portion of the documentation. For a purely conceptual guide to LangChain, see here. For the JavaScript documentation, see here.\\n\\nGetting Started#\\nCheckout the below guide for a walkthrough of how to get started using LangChain to create an Language Model application.\\n\\nGetting Started Documentation\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nModules#\\nThere are several main modules that LangChain provides support for.\\nFor each module we provide some examples to get started, how-to guides, reference docs, and conceptual guides.\\nThese modules are, in increasing order of complexity:\\n\\nModels: The various model types and model integrations LangChain supports.\\nPrompts: This includes prompt management, prompt optimization, and prompt serialization.\\nMemory: Memory is the concept of persisting state between calls of a chain/agent. LangChain provides a standard interface for memory, a collection of memory implementations, and examples of chains/agents that use memory.\\nIndexes: Language models are often more powerful when combined with your own text data - this module covers best practices for doing exactly that.\\nChains: Chains go beyond just a single LLM call, and are sequences of calls (whether to an LLM or a different utility). LangChain provides a standard interface for chains, lots of integrations with other tools, and end-to-end chains for common applications.\\nAgents: Agents involve an LLM making decisions about which Actions to take, taking that Action, seeing an Observation, and repeating that until done. LangChain provides a standard interface for agents, a selection of agents to choose from, and examples of end to end agents.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nUse Cases#\\nThe above modules can be used in a variety of ways. LangChain also provides guidance and assistance in this. Below are some of the common use cases LangChain supports.\\n\\nPersonal Assistants: The main LangChain use case. Personal assistants need to take actions, remember interactions, and have knowledge about your data.\\nQuestion Answering: The second big LangChain use case. Answering questions over specific documents, only utilizing the information in those documents to construct an answer.\\nChatbots: Since language models are good at producing text, that makes them ideal for creating chatbots.\\nQuerying Tabular Data: If you want to understand how to use LLMs to query data that is stored in a tabular format (csvs, SQL, dataframes, etc) you should read this page.\\nInteracting with APIs: Enabling LLMs to interact with APIs is extremely powerful in order to give them more up-to-date information and allow them to take actions.\\nExtraction: Extract structured information from text.\\nSummarization: Summarizing longer documents into shorter, more condensed chunks of information. A type of Data Augmented Generation.\\nEvaluation: Generative models are notoriously hard to evaluate with traditional metrics. One new way of evaluating them is using language models themselves to do the evaluation. LangChain provides some prompts/chains for assisting in this.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nReference Docs#\\nAll of LangChain’s reference documentation, in one place.

The SitemapLoader constructor accepts a custom scraping function. This feature can be helpful to tailor the scraping process to your specific needs; for example, you might want to avoid scraping headers or navigation elements. The following example shows how to develop and use a custom function to avoid navigation and header elements.Import the beautifulsoup4 library and define the custom function.pip install beautifulsoup4from bs4 import BeautifulSoupdef remove_nav_and_header_elements(content: BeautifulSoup) -> str:    # Find all \'nav\' and \'header\' elements in the BeautifulSoup object    nav_elements = content.find_all("nav")    header_elements = content.find_all("header")    # Remove each \'nav\' and \'header\' element from the BeautifulSoup object    for element in nav_elements + header_elements:        element.decompose()    return str(content.get_text())Add your custom function to the SitemapLoader object.loader = SitemapLoader(    "https://langchain.readthedocs.io/sitemap.xml",    filter_urls=["https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/"],    parsing_function=remove_nav_and_header_elements,)Local Sitemap\u200bThe sitemap loader can also be used to load local files.sitemap_loader = SitemapLoader(web_path="example_data/sitemap.xml", is_local=True)docs = sitemap_loader.load()    Fetching pages: 100%|####################################################################################################################################| 3/3 [00:00<00:00,  3.91it/s]PreviousRSTNextSlackFiltering sitemap URLsAdd custom scraping rulesLocal SitemapCommunityDiscordTwitterGitHubPythonJS/TSMoreHomepageBlogCopyright © 2023 LangChain, Inc.\n\n\n\n', metadata={'source': 'https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/document_loaders/sitemap', 'loc': 'https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/document_loaders/sitemap', 'changefreq': 'weekly', 'priority': '0.5'})

Add custom scraping rules

By default, the parser removes all but the main content of the docusaurus page, which is normally the <article> tag. You also have the option to define an inclusive list HTML tags by providing them as a list utilizing the custom_html_tags parameter. For example:

loader = DocusaurusLoader(
    "https://python.langchain.com",
    filter_urls=[
        "https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/document_loaders/sitemap"
    ],
    # This will only include the content that matches these tags, otherwise they will be removed
    custom_html_tags=["#content", ".main"],
)

You can also define an entirely custom parsing function if you need finer-grained control over the returned content for each page.

The following example shows how to develop and use a custom function to avoid navigation and header elements.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


def remove_nav_and_header_elements(content: BeautifulSoup) -> str:
    # Find all 'nav' and 'header' elements in the BeautifulSoup object
    nav_elements = content.find_all("nav")
    header_elements = content.find_all("header")

    # Remove each 'nav' and 'header' element from the BeautifulSoup object
    for element in nav_elements + header_elements:
        element.decompose()

    return str(content.get_text())

Add your custom function to the DocusaurusLoader object.

loader = DocusaurusLoader(
    "https://python.langchain.com",
    filter_urls=[
        "https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/document_loaders/sitemap"
    ],
    parsing_function=remove_nav_and_header_elements,
)
