A Query is one of the components that make up a Collection. It specifies exactly what data you want to be extracted from web pages.
A Query has two main parts:
Each Field describes a specific piece of information you want to extract. A field has a Name and a Description.
The Name is how the field will be referred to when data is collected. Think of it as a column header in a spreadsheet.
The Description is a simple, one-sentence English explanation of exactly what the AI should look for on the page.
Deduplication keys are used to combine duplicated records. Choose one or more of your fields as deduplication keys, and any records that share the same values for those keys (and don’t otherwise conflict) will be merged into a single combined record.
Helpful Tip When creating your Fields, picture the spreadsheet you want at the end. The Name is the column header, and the Description is the type of data that would fill that column.
Looking for information about restaurants in Edinburgh from a set of tourist websites.
Name: Restaurant name Description: What is this restaurant called?
Name: Restaurant summary Description: What is a one-sentence summary of this restaurant?
Set Restaurant name as a deduplication key so the same restaurant found on multiple pages is merged into one record.
