Build Web Scraper With Tool Calling
In the example below, we demonstrate how to use the Lyzr Agent API to create a web scraping assistant using the fetch content tool. This assistant is designed to efficiently extract and summarize content from a given website. The process starts by defining the OpenAPI schema for fetching webpage content. The model then sets up a tool using this schema, configures an environment that integrates LLM capabilities for tool calling, and finally deploys an agent specifically trained to scrape content. The agent interacts with the website, scrapes the data, and provides a concise summary.
To try this, refer to this Google Colab guide
Install Package
pip install lyzr-agent-api
from lyzr_agent_api.client import AgentAPI
from lyzr_agent_api.models.environment import EnvironmentConfig, FeatureConfig
from lyzr_agent_api.models.agents import AgentConfig
from lyzr_agent_api.models.chat import ChatRequest
from lyzr_agent_api.models.tools import OpenAPISchema
#Initiate Lyzr Agent API Client
client = AgentAPI(x_api_key="lyzr-api-key")
Define OpenAPI Schema:
Creates a schema to define the API for fetching webpage content.
user_id = "email@example.com"
json_body = OpenAPISchema(
{
"openapi": "3.1.0",
"info": {
"title": "FastAPI",
"description": "API for fetching webpage content.",

"required": True,
"schema": {
"type": "string",

}
}
],
"responses": {

"description": "Content fetched successfully",
"content": {
"application/json": {
"schema": {
"type": "object",

# Add more components as needed
)
Create Tool Endpoint
Sets up the web scraping tool using the OpenAPI schema.
response = client.create_tools_endpoint(
user_id=user_id,
json_body=json_body,
)
for tool in response['tool_ids']:
print(tool['name']) #e.g. gives `fetch_content` tool
Configure Environment:
Establishes the environment where the agent operates and configures the LLM.This configuration sets up an environment for the web scraping agent with the TOOL_CALLING feature, allowing the agent to call external tools like the fetch_content tool for scraping website data. It uses the gpt-4o-mini model from OpenAI with specified LLM parameters for reasoning and tool integration. The setup ensures up to 3 attempts to successfully use the tool.
environment_config = EnvironmentConfig(
name="Test Environment",
features=[
FeatureConfig(
type="TOOL_CALLING",
config={"max_tries":3},
priority=0,
)
],
tools=["fetch_content"],
llm_config={"provider": "openai",
"model": "gpt-4o-mini",
"config": {
"temperature": 0.5,
"top_p": 0.9
},
"env": {
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "OPENAI_API_KEY"
}},
)
environment = client.create_environment_endpoint(json_body=environment_config)
print(environment) #e.g.{'environment_id':'6wgjsdjbjxxxxxx'}
Create Web Scraper Agent
Sets up an agent with specific prompts for web scraping tasks.
agent_config = AgentConfig(
env_id="Enter-your-environment-id-here", # Example environment ID
system_prompt="You are a web scraping assistant. Your task is to use the provided fetch content tool to extract data from the given website efficiently.",
name="Web Scrapper Agent",
agent_description="This agent is used to scrap website.",
)
agent = client.create_agent_endpoint(json_body=agent_config)
print(agent) #e.g.{'agent_id':'6whdsdjbbjxxxxxx'}
Execute Task with Agent
Interacts with the agent to scrape and summarize content from a provided webpage. This code snippet demonstrates how to use the client API to create a chat task that instructs an AI agent to scrape and summarize content from a given website. It initiates a task with a specific user and agent ID.
response = client.create_chat_task(
json_body=ChatRequest(
user_id="your-user-id",
agent_id="your-agent-id",
message="scrap the content of https://www.lyzr.ai/ and give summary of it.",
session_id="your-session-id",
)
)
This checks the task’s status to retrieve the summary of the website.
response_status = client.get_task_status(
task_id=response.task_id, # Use the task_id from the create response
)
print(response_status)
TaskStatus(task_id='b6a9f317-b046-4458-a367-1be78f97ee3b', status='completed',
result={'response': 'The website "lyzr.ai" focuses on providing AI-driven
solutions for businesses, particularly in the areas of data analytics and
