LLM生态下爬虫程序的现状与未来

最近出现一批与LLM有关的新的爬虫框架，一类是为LLM提供内容抓取解析的，比如 Jina Reader 和 FireCrawl ，可以将抓取的网页解析为markdown这样的对LLM友好的内容，例如markdown，这类本质上还是传统的爬虫解决方案。还有一类是通过LLM+agent工作流方式来构建的下一代爬虫程序，比如Skyvern、 Scrapegraph-ai等。

今天我们来分析下这两类爬虫框架原理并做简单的评价。

Jina Reader

Jina Reader 是jina开源的针对LLM的解析工具，不仅开源，还提供了api供免费调用，在 https://r.jina.ai/<url> 中填入 Url ，然后请求这个地址，就能获取到 对LLM 友好的 Parsed Content（ Markdown），例如访问https://r.jina.ai/https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-deepmind-isomorphic-alphafold-3-ai-model/， 会得到：

Markdown Content:

ps：当前访问国内地址好像不太行，可以自己部署(https://github.com/jina-ai/reader/)。

这个api可以通过http header传递控制参数：

• You can ask the Reader API to forward cookies settings via the x-set-cookie header.
  • Note that requests with cookies will not be cached.
• You can bypass readability filtering via the x-respond-with header, specifically:
  • x-respond-with: markdown returns markdown without going through reability
  • x-respond-with: html returns documentElement.outerHTML
  • x-respond-with: text returns document.body.innerText
  • x-respond-with: screenshot returns the URL of the webpage's screenshot
• You can specify a proxy server via the x-proxy-url header.
• You can bypass the cached page (lifetime 300s) via the x-no-cache header.
• You can enable the image caption feature via the x-with-generated-alt header.

安装

Reader基于nodejs开发，所以需要Node环境，另外还依赖Firebase

• Node v18 (The build fails for Node version >18)
• Firebase CLI (npm install -g firebase-tools)

然后clone代码，安装：

git clone git@github.com:jina-ai/reader.git
cd backend/functions
npm install

原理分析

前面有较长的代码分析，可以直接看到总结部分看整体实现。

http 接口

主要的代码在cloud-functions/crawler.ts里，初步看是基于civkit开发了一个web服务，入口代码是crawl方法。

 async crawl(
        @RPCReflect() rpcReflect: RPCReflection,
        @Ctx() ctx: {
            req: Request,
            res: Response,
        },
        auth: JinaEmbeddingsAuthDTO
    ) {
        const uid = await auth.solveUID();
        let chargeAmount = 0;
        const noSlashURL = ctx.req.url.slice(1);
        if (!noSlashURL) {
            // 省略。。。无url，返回错误
        }

        // 省略。。。 ratelimit限制

        let urlToCrawl;
        try {
            urlToCrawl = new URL(normalizeUrl(noSlashURL.trim(), { stripWWW: false, removeTrailingSlash: false, removeSingleSlash: false }));
        } catch (err) {
            throw new ParamValidationError({
                message: `${err}`,
                path: 'url'
            });
        }
        if (urlToCrawl.protocol !== 'http:' && urlToCrawl.protocol !== 'https:') {
            throw new ParamValidationError({
                message: `Invalid protocol ${urlToCrawl.protocol}`,
                path: 'url'
            });
        }
		// header参数解析
        const customMode = ctx.req.get('x-respond-with') || 'default';
        const withGeneratedAlt = Boolean(ctx.req.get('x-with-generated-alt'));
        const noCache = Boolean(ctx.req.get('x-no-cache'));
        const cookies: CookieParam[] = [];
        const setCookieHeaders = ctx.req.headers['x-set-cookie'];
        if (Array.isArray(setCookieHeaders)) {
            for (const setCookie of setCookieHeaders) {
                cookies.push({
                    ...parseSetCookieString(setCookie, { decodeValues: false }) as CookieParam,
                    domain: urlToCrawl.hostname,
                });
            }
        } else if (setCookieHeaders) {
            cookies.push({
                ...parseSetCookieString(setCookieHeaders, { decodeValues: false }) as CookieParam,
                domain: urlToCrawl.hostname,
            });
        }
        this.threadLocal.set('withGeneratedAlt', withGeneratedAlt);

        const crawlOpts: ScrappingOptions = {
            proxyUrl: ctx.req.get('x-proxy-url'),
            cookies,
            favorScreenshot: customMode === 'screenshot'
        };
		// event-stream 模式
        if (!ctx.req.accepts('text/plain') && ctx.req.accepts('text/event-stream')) {
            const sseStream = new OutputServerEventStream();
            rpcReflect.return(sseStream);

            try {
	            // cachedScrap 抓取内容
                for await (const scrapped of this.cachedScrap(urlToCrawl, crawlOpts, noCache)) {
                    if (!scrapped) {
                        continue;
                    }
					// 格式化抓取内容
                    const formatted = await this.formatSnapshot(customMode, scrapped, urlToCrawl);
                    chargeAmount = this.getChargeAmount(formatted);
                    sseStream.write({
                        event: 'data',
                        data: formatted,
                    });
                }
            } catch (err: any) {
                this.logger.error(`Failed to crawl ${urlToCrawl}`, { err: marshalErrorLike(err) });
                sseStream.write({
                    event: 'error',
                    data: marshalErrorLike(err),
                });
            }

            sseStream.end();

            return sseStream;
        }
		// 。。。 省略，请求要求返回json等其他格式的

大概流程就是url参数解析，然后根据http请求头，做分别的处理，核心在cachedScrap(urlToCrawl, crawlOpts, noCache) 抓取内容，formatSnapshot 格式化抓取内容。

网页抓取

 async *cachedScrap(urlToCrawl: URL, crawlOpts: ScrappingOptions, noCache: boolean = false) {
        let cache;
        if (!noCache && !crawlOpts.cookies?.length) {
            cache = await this.queryCache(urlToCrawl);
        }

        if (cache?.isFresh && (!crawlOpts.favorScreenshot || (crawlOpts.favorScreenshot && cache?.screenshotAvailable))) {
            yield cache.snapshot;

            return;
        }

        try {
            yield* this.puppeteerControl.scrap(urlToCrawl, crawlOpts);
        } catch (err: any) {
            if (cache) {
                this.logger.warn(`Failed to scrap ${urlToCrawl}, but a stale cache is available. Falling back to cache`, { err: marshalErrorLike(err) });
                yield cache.snapshot;
                return;
            }
            throw err;
        }
    }

如果noCache不为false并且有cache，会返回cache，否则 this.puppeteerControl.scrap 抓取内容。puppeteerControl，对Puppeteer做了封装，提供网页抓取功能， Puppeteer是一个 Node 库，对外提供API 来通过 DevTools 协议控制 Chromium 或 Chrome，Puppeteer 默认以 headless 模式运行。用Puppeteer的好处就是能解决一些网页JavaScript渲染的问题，我们来看下PuppeteerControl 的大概实现流程。

 async *scrap(parsedUrl: URL, options: ScrappingOptions): AsyncGenerator<PageSnapshot | undefined> {
        // parsedUrl.search = '';
        const url = parsedUrl.toString();

        this.logger.info(`Scraping ${url}`, { url });
        let snapshot: PageSnapshot | undefined;
        let screenshot: Buffer | undefined;
		// pagePool 是一个Puppeteer的pool池子，会创建或返回创建好的Puppeteer page
        const page = await this.pagePool.acquire();
        // 提供proxy支持，这个比较实用
        if (options.proxyUrl) {
            await page.useProxy(options.proxyUrl);
        }
        if (options.cookies) {
            await page.setCookie(...options.cookies);
        }

        let nextSnapshotDeferred = Defer();
        const crippleListener = () => nextSnapshotDeferred.reject(new ServiceCrashedError({ message: `Browser crashed, try again` }));
        this.once('crippled', crippleListener);
        nextSnapshotDeferred.promise.finally(() => {
            this.off('crippled', crippleListener);
        });
        let finalized = false;
        const hdl = (s: any) => {
            if (snapshot === s) {
                return;
            }
            snapshot = s;
            nextSnapshotDeferred.resolve(s);
            nextSnapshotDeferred = Defer();
            this.once('crippled', crippleListener);
            nextSnapshotDeferred.promise.finally(() => {
                this.off('crippled', crippleListener);
            });
        };
        page.on('snapshot', hdl);
		// page跳转goto url，等待domcontentloaded等，30s超时
        const gotoPromise = page.goto(url, { waitUntil: ['load', 'domcontentloaded', 'networkidle0'], timeout: 30_000 })
            .catch((err) => {
	            // 错误处理
                this.logger.warn(`Browsing of ${url} did not fully succeed`, { err: marshalErrorLike(err) });
                return Promise.reject(new AssertionFailureError({
                    message: `Failed to goto ${url}: ${err}`,
                    cause: err,
                }));
            }).finally(async () => {
	            // 未抓取成功
                if (!snapshot?.html) {
                    finalized = true;
                    return;
                }
                // 调用js方法获取snapshot，
                snapshot = await page.evaluate('giveSnapshot()') as PageSnapshot;
                // 截图
                screenshot = await page.screenshot();
                if (!snapshot.title || !snapshot.parsed?.content) {
                    const salvaged = await this.salvage(url, page);
                    if (salvaged) {
                        snapshot = await page.evaluate('giveSnapshot()') as PageSnapshot;
                        screenshot = await page.screenshot();
                    }
                }
                finalized = true;
                this.logger.info(`Snapshot of ${url} done`, { url, title: snapshot?.title, href: snapshot?.href });
                this.emit(
                    'crawled',
                    { ...snapshot, screenshot },
                    { ...options, url: parsedUrl }
                );
            });

        try {
            let lastHTML = snapshot?.html;
            while (true) {
                await Promise.race([nextSnapshotDeferred.promise, gotoPromise]);
                if (finalized) {
                    yield { ...snapshot, screenshot } as PageSnapshot;
                    break;
                }
                if (options.favorScreenshot && snapshot?.title && snapshot?.html !== lastHTML) {
                    screenshot = await page.screenshot();
                    lastHTML = snapshot.html;
                }
                if (snapshot || screenshot) {
                    yield { ...snapshot, screenshot } as PageSnapshot;
                }
            }
        } finally {
            gotoPromise.finally(() => {
                page.off('snapshot', hdl);
                this.pagePool.destroy(page).catch((err) => {
                    this.logger.warn(`Failed to destroy page`, { err: marshalErrorLike(err) });
                });
            });
            nextSnapshotDeferred.resolve();
        }
    }

上面的giveSnapshot 是在初始化page的时候注入的js代码，原理是通过Readability读取正文，readability 是mozilla开源的一个nodejs库，https://github.com/mozilla/readability。

const READABILITY_JS = fs.readFileSync(require.resolve('@mozilla/readability/Readability.js'), 'utf-8');

 // 注入READABILITY_JS
 preparations.push(page.evaluateOnNewDocument(READABILITY_JS));
 // 注入giveSnapshot等方法
 preparations.push(page.evaluateOnNewDocument(`
// ...省略...
function giveSnapshot() {
    let parsed;
    try {
        parsed = new Readability(document.cloneNode(true)).parse();
    } catch (err) {
        void 0;
    }

    const r = {
        title: document.title,
        href: document.location.href,
        html: document.documentElement?.outerHTML,
        text: document.body?.innerText,
        parsed: parsed,
        imgs: [],
    };
    if (parsed && parsed.content) {
        const elem = document.createElement('div');
        elem.innerHTML = parsed.content;
        r.imgs = briefImgs(elem);
    } else {
        const allImgs = briefImgs();
        if (allImgs.length === 1) {
            r.imgs = allImgs;
        }
    }

    return r;
}
`));

可以看到，giveSnapshot通过Readability实现正文解析，然后返回title、url、html、imgs等，也就是Snapshot。

结果处理

获取到Snapshot后就是如何formatSnapshot。

 async formatSnapshot(mode: string | 'markdown' | 'html' | 'text' | 'screenshot', snapshot: PageSnapshot & {
        screenshotUrl?: string;
    }, nominalUrl?: URL) {
	 if (mode === 'screenshot') {
            if (snapshot.screenshot && !snapshot.screenshotUrl) {
                const fid = `instant-screenshots/${randomUUID()}`;
                await this.firebaseObjectStorage.saveFile(fid, snapshot.screenshot, {
                    metadata: {
                        contentType: 'image/png',
                    }
                });
                snapshot.screenshotUrl = await this.firebaseObjectStorage.signDownloadUrl(fid, Date.now() + this.urlValidMs);
            }

            return {
                screenshotUrl: snapshot.screenshotUrl,
                toString() {
                    return this.screenshotUrl;
                }
            };
        }
        if (mode === 'html') {
            return {
                html: snapshot.html,
                toString() {
                    return this.html;
                }
            };
        }
        if (mode === 'text') {
            return {
                text: snapshot.text,
                toString() {
                    return this.text;
                }
            };
        }

上面是针对screenshot、html、text的处理，snapshot里有，直接返回就行。

针对默认的markdown，依赖'turndown'库将文本转换为markdown，turndown是一个将html转换为markdown的nodejs库。

	    const toBeTurnedToMd = mode === 'markdown' ? snapshot.html : snapshot.parsed?.content;
        let turnDownService = mode === 'markdown' ? this.getTurndown() : this.getTurndown('without any rule');
        for (const plugin of this.turnDownPlugins) {
            turnDownService = turnDownService.use(plugin);
        }
        const urlToAltMap: { [k: string]: string | undefined; } = {};
        if (snapshot.imgs?.length && this.threadLocal.get('withGeneratedAlt')) {
            const tasks = _.uniqBy((snapshot.imgs || []), 'src').map(async (x) => {
                const r = await this.altTextService.getAltText(x).catch((err: any) => {
                    this.logger.warn(`Failed to get alt text for ${x.src}`, { err: marshalErrorLike(err) });
                    return undefined;
                });
                if (r && x.src) {
                    urlToAltMap[x.src.trim()] = r;
                }
            });

            await Promise.all(tasks);
        }
        let imgIdx = 0;
        turnDownService.addRule('img-generated-alt', {
            filter: 'img',
            replacement: (_content, node) => {
                let linkPreferredSrc = (node.getAttribute('src') || '').trim();
                if (!linkPreferredSrc || linkPreferredSrc.startsWith('data:')) {
                    const dataSrc = (node.getAttribute('data-src') || '').trim();
                    if (dataSrc && !dataSrc.startsWith('data:')) {
                        linkPreferredSrc = dataSrc;
                    }
                }

                const src = linkPreferredSrc;
                const alt = cleanAttribute(node.getAttribute('alt'));
                if (!src) {
                    return '';
                }
                const mapped = urlToAltMap[src];
                imgIdx++;
                if (mapped) {
                    return `![Image ${imgIdx}: ${mapped || alt}](${src})`;
                }
                return alt ? `![Image ${imgIdx}: ${alt}](${src})` : `![Image ${imgIdx}](${src})`;
            }
        });

        let contentText = '';
        if (toBeTurnedToMd) {
            try {
                contentText = turnDownService.turndown(toBeTurnedToMd).trim();
            } catch (err) {
                this.logger.warn(`Turndown failed to run, retrying without plugins`, { err });
                const vanillaTurnDownService = this.getTurndown();
                try {
                    contentText = vanillaTurnDownService.turndown(toBeTurnedToMd).trim();
                } catch (err2) {
                    this.logger.warn(`Turndown failed to run, giving up`, { err: err2 });
                }
            }
        }

        if (
            !contentText || (contentText.startsWith('<') && contentText.endsWith('>'))
            && toBeTurnedToMd !== snapshot.html
        ) {
            try {
                contentText = turnDownService.turndown(snapshot.html);
            } catch (err) {

        const formatted = {
            title: (snapshot.parsed?.title || snapshot.title || '').trim(),

Jina reader总结

Jina reader 通过一个http服务对外提供crawl接口，通过Puppeteer调用浏览器进行网页渲染抓取，过程中会注入readability js库用于正文抽取，最后返回的内容再根据用户要求返回不同的格式，比如默认的markdown，会调用turndown将html转换为markdown。

从实现原理上来看，这里还是常规的爬虫技术，且还是相对小众的nodejs爬虫技术栈，非常规的python技术栈。

Scrapegraph-ai

介绍与入门使用

Scrapegraph-ai 是有别于Jina Reader，可以看做是基于 LLM 与 Agent Workflow 构建的下一代网络爬虫。

官方介绍是：

ScrapeGraphAI is a web scraping python library that uses LLM and direct graph logic to create scraping pipelines for websites, documents and XML files.

ScrapeGraphAI 是一个使用 LLM（大型语言模型）和工作流来为网站、文档和XML文件创建抓取管道的Python网络爬虫库。

官方 streamlit demo: https://scrapegraph-ai-demo.streamlit.app

还提供了Google Colab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1sEZBonBMGP44CtO6GQTwAlL0BGJXjtfd?usp=sharing

安装：

pip install scrapegraphai

使用，假设使用Open AI的chatgpt3.5：

OPENAI_API_KEY = "YOUR API KEY"

官方有不少预设的graph，SmartScraperGraph是其中之一，这个graph包含抓取、解析、rag和生成几个处理节点。

from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph

# llm 配置
graph_config = {
    "llm": {
        "api_key": OPENAI_API_KEY,
        "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
        "temperature":0,
    },
}

# 定义graph
smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
	# prompt是给程序下达具体的指令，比如下面让返回页面中所有的project和相关描述
    prompt="List me all the projects with their descriptions.",
    # also accepts a string with the already downloaded HTML code
    # source可以是http地址，也可以是本地的html代码
    source="https://perinim.github.io/projects/",
    config=graph_config
)

# 执行graph
result = smart_scraper_graph.run()

print(result)

先定义graph，设定prompt指令，给一个url，然后graph.run 执行，就能得到json化的抓取结果：

{
  "projects": [
    {
      "title": "Rotary Pendulum RL",
      "description": "Open Source project aimed at controlling a real life rotary pendulum using RL algorithms"
    },
    {
      "title": "DQN Implementation from scratch",
      "description": "Developed a Deep Q-Network algorithm to train a simple and double pendulum"
    },
    {
      "title": "Multi Agents HAED",
      "description": "University project which focuses on simulating a multi-agent system to perform environment mapping. Agents, equipped with sensors, explore and record their surroundings, considering uncertainties in their readings."
    },
    {
      "title": "Wireless ESC for Modular Drones",
      "description": "Modular drone architecture proposal and proof of concept. The project received maximum grade."
    }
  ]
}

对应的网页截图：

看到这里，大概就能理解为什么说这是下一代的网络爬虫。

深入Scrapegraph-ai

翻看源码，可以发现Scrapegraph-ai大量使用了langchain的工具函数，之前看到过说不适合把langchain直接用作生产，但是里面的工具函数用来干活还是不错的。

Scrapegraph-ai 有几个核心概念：

• LLM Model，官方实现了对AzureOpenAI, Bedrock, Gemini, Groq, HuggingFace, Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic的支持
• Node 处理节点，官方实现了FetchNode抓取节点、ParseNode解析节点、RAGNode用于寻找和指令相关的片段，还有GenerateAnswerNode这样最后生成answer的节点
• Graph图，这是一个类似agent workflow的东西，类别网络、知识图谱，Node通过edge连接到一起就是图，我们前面说的SmartScraperGraph 是一种图，另外还有SpeechGraph 增加了tts节点，SearchGraph支持搜索，PDFScraperGraph 支持pdf

然后再看几个图：

所以串起来就懂了，将Node串起来形成图Graph，可以扩展Node增加新的功能，也可以自定义Graph，按需编排功能。

看smart的实现：

	def _create_graph(self) -> BaseGraph:
        """
        Creates the graph of nodes representing the workflow for web scraping.

        Returns:
            BaseGraph: A graph instance representing the web scraping workflow.
        """
        fetch_node = FetchNode(
            input="url | local_dir",
            output=["doc"]
        )
        parse_node = ParseNode(
            input="doc",
            output=["parsed_doc"],
            node_config={
                "chunk_size": self.model_token
            }
        )
        rag_node = RAGNode(
            input="user_prompt & (parsed_doc | doc)",
            output=["relevant_chunks"],
            node_config={
                "llm_model": self.llm_model,
                "embedder_model": self.embedder_model
            }
        )
        generate_answer_node = GenerateAnswerNode(
            input="user_prompt & (relevant_chunks | parsed_doc | doc)",
            output=["answer"],
            node_config={
                "llm_model": self.llm_model
            }
        )

        return BaseGraph(
            nodes=[
                fetch_node,
                parse_node,
                rag_node,
                generate_answer_node,
            ],
            edges=[
                (fetch_node, parse_node),
                (parse_node, rag_node),
                (rag_node, generate_answer_node)
            ],
            entry_point=fetch_node
        )

• 这里的每个node，有input，output，每个节点执行时有一个state状态dict，node的input从state里取值，执行完成后output作为key，这个node的结果作为value放回state
• 注意类似user_prompt & (relevant_chunks | parsed_doc | doc) 这样的表达式，里面的& 和 | 方便做容错，比如如果没有relevant_chunks，则会取parsed_doc，最后才考虑原始的doc

关键Node分析

FetchNode

负责获取指定 URL 的 HTML 内容，使用LangChain的 AsyncChromiumLoader 异步获取内容。

这个节点在许多抓取工作流程中充当起始点，为图中后续节点的进一步处理准备必要的 HTML 内容状态。

from langchain_community.document_loaders import AsyncChromiumLoader

from langchain_core.documents import Document

class FetchNode(BaseNode):

	# 。。。省略。。。

    def execute(self, state):
		    # 。。。省略。。。
            if self.node_config is not None and self.node_config.get("endpoint") is not None:

                loader = AsyncChromiumLoader(
                    [source],
                    proxies={"http": self.node_config["endpoint"]},
                    headless=self.headless,
                )
            else:
                loader = AsyncChromiumLoader(
                    [source],
                    headless=self.headless,
                )

            document = loader.load()
            compressed_document = [
                Document(page_content=remover(str(document[0].page_content)))]

        state.update({self.output[0]: compressed_document})
        return state

ParseNode

负责从文档中解析 HTML 内容的节点。解析后的内容被分割成块，以便进一步处理。

这个节点通过允许针对性地提取内容，增强了抓取工作流程，从而优化了大型 HTML 文档的处理。

from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter
from langchain_community.document_transformers import Html2TextTransformer

class ParseNode(BaseNode):
    # 。。。省略。。。
    def execute(self,  state: dict) -> dict:

        if self.verbose:
            print(f"--- Executing {self.node_name} Node ---")

        # Interpret input keys based on the provided input expression
        input_keys = self.get_input_keys(state)

        # Fetching data from the state based on the input keys
        input_data = [state[key] for key in input_keys]

        text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter.from_tiktoken_encoder(
            chunk_size=self.node_config.get("chunk_size", 4096),
            chunk_overlap=0,
        )

        # Parse the document
        docs_transformed = Html2TextTransformer(
        ).transform_documents(input_data[0])[0]

        chunks = text_splitter.split_text(docs_transformed.page_content)

        state.update({self.output[0]: chunks})

        return state

这里直接用langchain的Html2TextTransformer解析正文，当你把langchain当tool工具的时候，还是挺香的。

RAGNode

看名字RAG就知道了，负责将文档chunk向量化存储到向量库进行检索的节点。

贴关键代码：

# check if embedder_model is provided, if not use llm_model
self.embedder_model = self.embedder_model if self.embedder_model else self.llm_model
embeddings = self.embedder_model

retriever = FAISS.from_documents(
	chunked_docs, embeddings).as_retriever()

redundant_filter = EmbeddingsRedundantFilter(embeddings=embeddings)
# similarity_threshold could be set, now k=20
relevant_filter = EmbeddingsFilter(embeddings=embeddings)
pipeline_compressor = DocumentCompressorPipeline(
	transformers=[redundant_filter, relevant_filter]
)
# redundant + relevant filter compressor
compression_retriever = ContextualCompressionRetriever(
	base_compressor=pipeline_compressor, base_retriever=retriever
)

# relevant filter compressor only
# compression_retriever = ContextualCompressionRetriever(
#     base_compressor=relevant_filter, base_retriever=retriever
# )

compressed_docs = compression_retriever.invoke(user_prompt)

if self.verbose:
	print("--- (tokens compressed and vector stored) ---")

state.update({self.output[0]: compressed_docs})

GenerateAnswerNode

使用大型语言模型（LLM）根据用户的输入和从网页中提取的内容生成答案。它从用户输入和抓取的内容构建一个提示，将其输入LLM，并解析LLM的响应以产生答案。

   def execute(self, state: dict) -> dict:
        """
        Generates an answer by constructing a prompt from the user's input and the scraped
        content, querying the language model, and parsing its response.

        Args:

                            to fetch the correct data from the state.

        Returns:
            dict: The updated state with the output key containing the generated answer.

        Raises:
            KeyError: If the input keys are not found in the state, indicating
                      that the necessary information for generating an answer is missing.
        """

        if self.verbose:
            print(f"--- Executing {self.node_name} Node ---")

        # Interpret input keys based on the provided input expression
        input_keys = self.get_input_keys(state)

        # Fetching data from the state based on the input keys
        input_data = [state[key] for key in input_keys]

        doc = input_data[1]

        output_parser = JsonOutputParser()
        format_instructions = output_parser.get_format_instructions()

        template_chunks = """

上述代码，主要就是调用langchain去做答案生成，区分了多chunk和单chunk情况，多chunk的最后涉及到merge合并。

ScrapeGraphAI 总结

ScrapeGraphAI利用langchain，扩展出一套框架，可以根据用户需求取抓取和解析网页中的指定部分内容，官方提供了一些基础实现，可以满足一些简单任务的抓取，但是对于更复杂的任务，如果结合agents更好的来实现，还需要继续完善。另外是否可以与CV模型、多模模型结合延伸出更有趣的解析功能？

小结

本文分析了Jina Reader和ScrapeGraphAI两块具有代表性的LLM时代的抓取工具功能、实现原理，可以看出LLM出来后对爬虫程序有了新的要求，LLM也给爬虫带来了新的解决方案，LLM+爬虫后续会有怎么进一步的发展方向呢，我们拭目以待！
