Writer RAG tool: build production-ready RAG apps in minutes
RAG in just a few lines of code? Weโve 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 Writerโs 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.
๐ป 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. Itโs 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
Create Your Project Directory:
mkdir puppeteer-screenshot-api && cd puppeteer-screenshot-api
npm init -y
npm install express puppeteer
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}`);
});
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.
