Unstructured

This example covers how to use Unstructured to load files of many types. Unstructured currently supports loading of text files, powerpoints, html, pdfs, images, and more.

Setup​

You can run Unstructured locally in your computer using Docker. To do so, you need to have Docker installed. You can find the instructions to install Docker here.

docker run -p 8000:8000 -d --rm --name unstructured-api quay.io/unstructured-io/unstructured-api:latest --port 8000 --host 0.0.0.0

Usage​

Once Unstructured is running, you can use it to load files from your computer. You can use the following code to load a file from your computer.

import { UnstructuredLoader } from "langchain/document_loaders/fs/unstructured";

const options = {
  apiKey: "MY_API_KEY",
};

const loader = new UnstructuredLoader(
  "src/document_loaders/example_data/notion.md",
  options
);
const docs = await loader.load();

Directories​

You can also load all of the files in the directory using UnstructuredDirectoryLoader, which inherits from DirectoryLoader:

import { UnstructuredDirectoryLoader } from "langchain/document_loaders/fs/unstructured";

const options = {
  apiKey: "MY_API_KEY",
};

const loader = new UnstructuredDirectoryLoader(
  "langchain/src/document_loaders/tests/example_data",
  options
);
const docs = await loader.load();
