langchain_community.document_loaders.unstructured.UnstructuredFileLoader¶

class langchain_community.document_loaders.unstructured.UnstructuredFileLoader(file_path: Union[str, List[str]], mode: str = 'single', **unstructured_kwargs: Any)[source]¶

Load files using Unstructured.

The file loader uses the unstructured partition function and will automatically detect the file type. You can run the loader in one of two modes: “single” and “elements”. If you use “single” mode, the document will be returned as a single langchain Document object. If you use “elements” mode, the unstructured library will split the document into elements such as Title and NarrativeText. You can pass in additional unstructured kwargs after mode to apply different unstructured settings.

Examples

from langchain_community.document_loaders import UnstructuredFileLoader

loader = UnstructuredFileLoader(

“example.pdf”, mode=”elements”, strategy=”fast”,

) docs = loader.load()

async alazy_load() → AsyncIterator[Document]¶

A lazy loader for Documents.

Return type

AsyncIterator[Document]

lazy_load() → Iterator[Document]¶

Load file.

Return type

Iterator[Document]

load() → List[Document]¶

Load data into Document objects.

Return type

List[Document]

load_and_split(text_splitter: Optional[TextSplitter] = None) → List[Document]¶

Load Documents and split into chunks. Chunks are returned as Documents.

Do not override this method. It should be considered to be deprecated!

Parameters
