Using Firecrawl to Gather an Entire Website
from llama_index.readers.web import FireCrawlWebReader
from llama_index.core import SummaryIndex
import os
# Initialize FireCrawlWebReader to crawl a website
firecrawl_reader = FireCrawlWebReader(
api_key="<your_api_key>", # Replace with your actual API key from https://www.firecrawl.dev/
mode="crawl", # "scrape", "crawl", or "extract"
params={"additional": "parameters"} # Optional additional parameters
)
# Set the environment variable for the virtual key
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "<OPENAI_API_KEY>"
# Load documents from a single page URL
documents = firecrawl_reader.load_data(url="http://paulgraham.com/")
index = SummaryIndex.from_documents(documents)
# Set Logging to DEBUG for more detailed outputs
query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
response = query_engine.query("What did the author do growing up?")
display(Markdown(f"<b>{response}</b>"))
