Readwise Reader

bash

pip install llama-index-readers-readwise

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

Setup

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

Usage

Here is an example usage of the Readwise Reader:

python

import os
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, download_loader

from llama_index.readers.readwise import ReadwiseReader

token = os.getenv("READWISE_API_KEY")
loader = ReadwiseReader(api_key=token)
documents = loader.load_data()
index = VectorStoreIndex.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:

python

import os
import datetime
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, download_loader

from llama_index.readers.readwise import 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 = VectorStoreIndex.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.
