Writer RAG tool: build production-ready RAG apps in minutes

RAG in just a few lines of code? Weโ€™ve launched a predefined RAG tool on our developer platform, making it easy to bring your data into a Knowledge Graph and interact with it with AI. With a single API call, writer LLMs will intelligently call the RAG tool to chat with your data.

Integrated into Writerโ€™s full-stack platform, it eliminates the need for complex vendor RAG setups, making it quick to build scalable, highly accurate AI workflows just by passing a graph ID of your data as a parameter to your RAG tool.

๐Ÿ’ป TUTORIAL OF THE DAY

Part 1 - Setting Up a Screenshot API with Node.js and Puppeteer

Want to capture website screenshots effortlessly? Here's how to create a Node.js API that uses Puppeteer to do just that. Itโ€™s simple, efficient, and perfect for automating those screenshot tasks.

Quick Setup

Start by updating your system and installing Node.js:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs

Building Your Puppeteer API

  1. Create Your Project Directory:

mkdir puppeteer-screenshot-api && cd puppeteer-screenshot-api
npm init -y
npm install express puppeteer
  1. Write Your API

const express = require('express');
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

app.get('/screenshot', async (req, res) => {
    const { url } = req.query;
    if (!url) return res.status(400).send('Please provide a URL');

    try {
        const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ args: ['--no-sandbox'] });
        (...) // check the full tutorial
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
        res.status(500).send('Error capturing screenshot');
    }
});

app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`API running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});
  1. Launch Your API

node index.js

Now, visit http://localhost:3000/screenshot?url=https://example.com to see the magic in action. This simple setup lets you automate website screenshots like a pro.
