RAG Knowledge Base Building

Build comprehensive knowledge bases for retrieval-augmented generation. Power your AI chatbots and assistants with structured web content.

RAG Needs Quality Content

Retrieval-augmented generation systems are only as good as their knowledge base. Building a comprehensive, up-to-date corpus requires efficient web content extraction.

Static documents become outdated quickly. You need automated collection of fresh content from documentation sites, knowledge bases, and authoritative sources.

WebScraping.AI Solution

  • Clean Text Extraction: Get properly formatted content ready for embedding
  • Metadata Preservation: Keep titles, sections, and source URLs
  • AI Summarization: Generate summaries and key points automatically
  • Structured Chunks: Content pre-organized for vector databases

Knowledge Base Features

Everything you need for RAG systems

Clean Content

Extract main content without navigation, ads, or boilerplate.

Section Parsing

Preserve document structure with headings and sections.

AI Extraction

Extract specific information using natural language queries.

Source Tracking

Maintain source URLs for citation and verification.

Code Examples

Build your RAG knowledge base

const axios = require('axios');

const API_KEY = 'your_api_key';

// Extract documentation content for RAG
const docUrl = 'https://docs.example.com/api/authentication';
const content = await axios.get('https://api.webscraping.ai/ai/fields', {
  params: {
    api_key: API_KEY,
    url: docUrl,
    fields: JSON.stringify({
      title: 'Page title',
      main_content: 'Main content text without navigation',
      sections: 'Array of section headings and their content',
      code_examples: 'Any code snippets on the page',
      key_concepts: 'Key concepts or terms defined',
      related_topics: 'Links to related documentation pages'
    })
  }
});

console.log(content.data);
// {
//   "title": "API Authentication Guide",
//   "main_content": "This guide covers authentication methods...",
//   "sections": [
//     {"heading": "API Keys", "content": "API keys are..."},
//     {"heading": "OAuth 2.0", "content": "For OAuth flow..."}
//   ],
//   "code_examples": ["curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer...'"],
//   "key_concepts": ["API key", "Bearer token", "OAuth scope"],
//   "related_topics": ["/docs/rate-limits", "/docs/errors"]
// }

// Generate a summary for the knowledge base
const summary = await axios.get('https://api.webscraping.ai/ai/question', {
  params: {
    api_key: API_KEY,
    url: docUrl,
    question: 'Provide a 2-3 sentence summary of this page suitable for a knowledge base index.'
  }
});
curl -G "https://api.webscraping.ai/ai/fields" \
  --data-urlencode "api_key=your_api_key" \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://docs.example.com/api/auth" \
  --data-urlencode 'fields={"title":"Page title","main_content":"Main content","sections":"Sections with headings","key_concepts":"Key terms defined"}'

# Get a summary
curl -G "https://api.webscraping.ai/ai/question" \
  --data-urlencode "api_key=your_api_key" \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://docs.example.com/api/auth" \
  --data-urlencode "question=Summarize this page in 2-3 sentences"
