Gitbook loader

Overview

The GitBook Loader Node allows you to extract content from GitBook documentation pages. It can either load a single page or recursively load all pages from a GitBook documentation site, making it ideal for creating knowledge bases from GitBook documentation.

Usage cost: 1 credit for unique page / 10 credits for whole documentation

Configuration

Settings

1. GitBook URL

   • URL to the GitBook documentation

   • Can be a specific page URL or root URL when loading all paths

   • Required field

   • Supports variable interpolation

2. Load Options

   • Load All Paths: Toggle to recursively load all pages

     • When enabled: URL must be the GitBook root

     • When disabled: Loads only the specified page

Output Ports

1. documents (List[Document]): List of Document objects containing:

   • Page content

   • Metadata (URL, title, etc.)

2. documents_content (List[string]):

   • List of extracted text content

   • Content only, without metadata

Best Practices

1. URL Configuration

   • Use root URL when loading all paths

   • Ensure URLs are accessible (public documentation)

   • Verify URL format before execution

2. Content Loading

   • Use single page loading for specific content

   • Consider load time for large documentation sites

Common Issues

• Rate limiting from GitBook servers

• Memory limitations with large documentation sites

• Slow loading times for recursive fetching

• Malformed URLs causing loading failures
