ScrapeGraphAI is a web scraping python library that uses LLM and direct graph logic to create scraping pipelines for websites and local documents (XML, HTML, JSON, Markdown, etc.).
Just say which information you want to extract and the library will do it for you!
🚀 Integrations
ScrapeGraphAI offers seamless integration with popular frameworks and tools to enhance your scraping capabilities. Whether you're building with Python or Node.js, using LLM frameworks, or working with no-code platforms, we've got you covered with our comprehensive integration options..
You can find more informations at the following link
Integrations:
- API: Documentation
- SDKs: Python, Node
- LLM Frameworks: Langchain, Llama Index, Crew.ai, Agno, CamelAI
- Low-code Frameworks: Pipedream, Bubble, Zapier, n8n, Dify, Toolhouse
- MCP server: Link
🚀 Quick install
The reference page for Scrapegraph-ai is available on the official page of PyPI: pypi.
pip install scrapegraphai
# IMPORTANT (for fetching websites content)
playwright install
Note: it is recommended to install the library in a virtual environment to avoid conflicts with other libraries 🐱
💻 Usage
There are multiple standard scraping pipelines that can be used to extract information from a website (or local file).
The most common one is the SmartScraperGraph, which extracts information from a single page given a user prompt and a source URL.
from scrapegraphai.graphs import SmartScraperGraph
# Define the configuration for the scraping pipeline
graph_config = {
"llm": {
"model": "ollama/llama3.2",
"model_tokens": 8192,
"format": "json",
},
"verbose": True,
"headless": False,
}
# Create the SmartScraperGraph instance
smart_scraper_graph = SmartScraperGraph(
prompt="Extract useful information from the webpage, including a description of what the company does, founders and social media links",
source="https://scrapegraphai.com/",
config=graph_config
)
# Run the pipeline
result = smart_scraper_graph.run()
import json
print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))
[!NOTE]
For OpenAI and other models you just need to change the llm config!
graph_config = {
"llm": {
"api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",
"model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
},
"verbose": True,
"headless": False,
}
The output will be a dictionary like the following:
{
"description": "ScrapeGraphAI transforms websites into clean, organized data for AI agents and data analytics. It offers an AI-powered API for effortless and cost-effective data extraction.",
"founders": [
{
"name": "",

},
{

"linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorenzo-padoan-4521a2154/"
}
],
"social_media_links": {
"linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/101881123",
"twitter": "https://x.com/scrapegraphai",
"github": "https://github.com/ScrapeGraphAI/Scrapegraph-ai"
}
}
There are other pipelines that can be used to extract information from multiple pages, generate Python scripts, or even generate audio files.
| Pipeline Name |
Description |
| SmartScraperGraph |
Single-page scraper that only needs a user prompt and an input source. |
| SearchGraph |
Multi-page scraper that extracts information from the top n search results of a search engine. |
| SpeechGraph |
Single-page scraper that extracts information from a website and generates an audio file. |
| ScriptCreatorGraph |
Single-page scraper that extracts information from a website and generates a Python script. |
| SmartScraperMultiGraph |
Multi-page scraper that extracts information from multiple pages given a single prompt and a list of sources. |
| ScriptCreatorMultiGraph |
Multi-page scraper that generates a Python script for extracting information from multiple pages and sources. |
For each of these graphs there is the multi version. It allows to make calls of the LLM in parallel.
It is possible to use different LLM through APIs, such as OpenAI, Groq, Azure, Gemini, MiniMax and more, or local models using Ollama.
Remember to have Ollama installed and download the models using the ollama pull command, if you want to use local models.

🆚 Open Source vs Managed API
ScrapeGraphAI comes in two flavours: this open-source library, which you run yourself, and the managed cloud API (used via the Python and JS/TS SDKs). This table explains the difference so you can pick the right one.
|
Open Source (scrapegraphai) |
Managed API (scrapegraph-py / scrapegraph-js) |
| What it is |
A Python library you run yourself |
A hosted cloud service you call via SDK |
| Where it runs |
Your own infrastructure (self-hosted) |
ScrapeGraphAI cloud |
| LLM |
Bring your own (OpenAI, Groq, Gemini, Azure, local via Ollama) |
Managed for you |
| Browser / JS rendering |
You configure it (Playwright) |
Managed (stealth, auto/fast/js modes) |
| Proxies & anti-bot |
Your responsibility |
Included |
| Scaling & maintenance |
Your responsibility |
Fully managed |
| Cost model |
LLM tokens + your own infra |
Pay-as-you-go credits |
| Auth |
Your own LLM keys |
SGAI_API_KEY |
| Capabilities |
Graph pipelines (SmartScraper, Search, Speech, ScriptCreator…) |
Scrape, Extract, Search, Crawl, Monitor, History |
| Setup effort |

Minimal — API key + one call |
| License |
MIT |
SDK is MIT; the API service is paid |
Choose the open-source library if you want full control, on-prem/self-hosted data, local LLMs (Ollama), or fine-grained cost tuning — and you're happy to manage browsers, proxies and scaling yourself.
Choose the managed API if you want zero infrastructure, managed JS rendering & anti-bot, built-in Crawl and scheduled Monitor jobs, and the fastest path to production — billed per credit.
Codes for ScrapeGraphAI users: SCRAPEGRAPH35 (35% off mobile and residential proxies), SCRAPEGRAPH40 (40% off ISP / static proxies).
