How to collect data for vectorizing

This process should be run first. This will enable you to collect a ton of data across various sources. Currently the following services are supported:

  • YouTube Channels
  • Medium
  • Substack
  • Arbitrary Link
  • Gitbook
  • Local Files (.txt, .pdf, etc) See full list these resources are under development or require PR
  • Twitter Choices

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • Google Cloud Account (for YouTube channels)
  • brew install pandoc pandoc (for .ODT document processing)

Setup

This example will be using python3.9, but will work with 3.8+. Tested on MacOs. Untested on Windows

  • install virtualenv for python3.8+ first before any other steps. python3.9 -m pip install virtualenv
  • cd collector from root directory
  • python3.9 -m virtualenv v-env
  • source v-env/bin/activate
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
  • cp .env.example .env
  • python main.py for interactive collection or python watch.py to process local documents.
  • Select the option you want and follow follow the prompts - Done!
  • run deactivate to get back to regular shell

Outputs

All JSON file data is cached in the output/ folder. This is to prevent redundant API calls to services which may have rate limits to quota caps. Clearing out the output/ folder will execute the script as if there was no cache.

As files are processed you will see data being written to both the collector/outputs folder as well as the server/documents folder. Later in this process, once you boot up the server you will then bulk vectorize this content from a simple UI!

If collection fails at any point in the process it will pick up where it last bailed out so you are not reusing credits.
