Readwise Reader

Use Readwise's export API to fetch your highlights from web articles, epubs, pdfs, Kindle, YouTube, and load the resulting text into LLMs.

Setup

  1. Get your Readwise API key from readwise.io/access_token.

Usage

Here is an example usage of the Readwise Reader:

import os
from llama_index import GPTVectorStoreIndex, download_loader

ReadwiseReader = download_loader("ReadwiseReader")
token = os.getenv("READWISE_API_KEY")
loader = ReadwiseReader(api_key=token)
documents = loader.load_data()
index = GPTVectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)

index.query("What was the paper 'Attention is all you need' about?")

You can also query for highlights that have been created after a certain time:

import os
import datetime
from llama_index import GPTVectorStoreIndex, download_loader

ReadwiseReader = download_loader("ReadwiseReader")
token = os.getenv("READWISE_API_KEY")
loader = ReadwiseReader(api_key=token)
seven_days_ago = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=7)
documents = loader.load_data(updated_after=seven_days_ago)
index = GPTVectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)

index.query("What has Elon Musk done this time?")

This loader is designed to be used as a way to load data into LlamaIndex and/or subsequently used as a Tool in a LangChain Agent. See here for examples.
