# Dripper(MinerU-HTML)
**Dripper(MinerU-HTML)** is an advanced HTML main content extraction tool based on Large Language Models (LLMs). It provides a complete pipeline for extracting primary content from HTML pages using LLM-based classification and state machine-guided generation.
## Features
- ๐ **LLM-Powered Extraction**: Uses state-of-the-art language models to intelligently identify main content
- ๐ฏ **State Machine Guidance**: Implements logits processing with state machines for structured JSON output
- ๐ **Fallback Mechanism**: Automatically falls back to alternative extraction methods on errors
- ๐ **Comprehensive Evaluation**: Built-in evaluation framework with ROUGE and item-level metrics
- ๐ **REST API Server**: FastAPI-based server for easy integration
- โก **Distributed Processing**: Ray-based parallel processing for large-scale evaluation
- ๐ง **Multiple Extractors**: Supports various baseline extractors for comparison

## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Python >= 3.10
- CUDA-capable GPU (recommended for LLM inference)
- Sufficient memory for model loading
### Install from Source
The installation process automatically handles dependencies. The `setup.py` reads dependencies from `requirements.txt` and optionally from `baselines.txt`.
#### Basic Installation (Core Functionality)
For basic usage of Dripper, install with core dependencies only:
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU-HTML
cd MinerU-HTML
# Install the package with core dependencies only
# Dependencies from requirements.txt are automatically installed
pip install .
```
#### Installation with Baseline Extractors (for Evaluation)
If you need to run baseline evaluations and comparisons, install with the `baselines` extra:
```bash
# Install with baseline extractor dependencies
pip install -e .[baselines]
```
This will install additional libraries required for baseline extractors:
- `readabilipy`, `readability_lxml` - Readability-based extractors
- `resiliparse` - Resilient HTML parsing
- `justext` - JustText extractor
- `gne` - General News Extractor
- `goose3` - Goose3 article extractor
- `boilerpy3` - Boilerplate removal
- `crawl4ai` - AI-powered web content extraction
**Note**: The baseline extractors are only needed for running comparative evaluations. For basic usage of Dripper, the core installation is sufficient.
## Quick Start
### 1. Download the model
visit our model at [MinerU-HTML](https://huggingface.co/opendatalab/MinerU-HTML) and download the model, you can use the following command to download the model:
```bash
huggingface-cli download opendatalab/MinerU-HTML
```
### 2. Using the Python API
```python
from dripper.api import Dripper
# Initialize Dripper with model configuration
dripper = Dripper(
config={
'model_path': '/path/to/your/model',
'tp': 1, # Tensor parallel size
'state_machine': None, # or 'v1', or 'v2
'use_fall_back': True,
'raise_errors': False,
}
)
# Extract main content from HTML
html_content = "..."
result = dripper.process(html_content)
# Access results
main_html = result[0].main_html
```
### 3. Using the REST API Server
```bash
# Start the server
python -m dripper.server \
--model_path /path/to/your/model \
--state_machine v2 \
--port 7986
# Or use environment variables
export DRIPPER_MODEL_PATH=/path/to/your/model
export DRIPPER_STATE_MACHINE=v2
export DRIPPER_PORT=7986
python -m dripper.server
```
Then make requests to the API:
```bash
# Extract main content
curl -X POST "http://localhost:7986/extract" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"html": "...", "url": "https://example.com"}'
# Health check
curl http://localhost:7986/health
```
## Configuration
### Dripper Configuration Options

| --------------- | ---- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `model_path` | str | **Required** | Path to the LLM model directory |
| `tp` | int | 1 | Tensor parallel size for model inference |
| `state_machine` | str | None | State machine version: `'v1'`, `'v2'`, or `None` |
| `use_fall_back` | bool | True | Enable fallback to trafilatura on errors |
| `raise_errors` | bool | False | Raise exceptions on errors (vs returning None) |
| `debug` | bool | False | Enable debug logging |
| `early_load` | bool | False | Load model during initialization |
### Environment Variables

## Development
### Running Tests
```bash
# Add test commands here when available
```
### Code Style
The project uses pre-commit hooks for code quality. Install them:
```bash
pre-commit install
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **VLLM_USE_V1 Error**: When using state machine, ensure `VLLM_USE_V1=0` is set:
```bash
export VLLM_USE_V1=0
```
2. **Model Loading Errors**: Verify model path and ensure sufficient GPU memory
3. **Import Errors**: Ensure the package is properly installed:
```bash
# Reinstall the package (this will automatically install dependencies from requirements.txt)
pip install -e .
# If you need baseline extractors for evaluation:
pip install -e .[baselines]
```
