How to load URL content

Use the automatic path unless you are debugging or intentionally comparing Loaders. Kabigon matches the URL to a source-specific Pipeline, builds an Execution plan from Targeted loaders plus allowed Fallback loaders, and returns the first successful Loader result.

import kabigon

text = kabigon.load_url_sync("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ")

import asyncio
import kabigon

text = await kabigon.load_url("https://x.com/user/status/123")

# List supported loader names.
uvx kabigon --list

import kabigon

# Inspect the Pipeline, Targeted loaders, Execution plan, and requirements.
plan = kabigon.explain_plan("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ")
loaders = kabigon.available_loaders()

Advanced loader selection

Use --loader only when debugging, comparing Loaders, or intentionally bypassing automatic Pipeline planning. A comma-separated loader list runs in the exact order provided.

uvx kabigon --loader httpx https://example.com
uvx kabigon --loader firecrawl https://example.com

# Run loaders in explicit order. Example: try YouTube transcripts first,
# then fall back to `youtube-ytdlp` audio transcription if captions are missing.
uvx kabigon --loader youtube,youtube-ytdlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Supported sources

YouTube videos: youtube, then youtube-ytdlp audio transcription when needed.
Social posts: twitter, truthsocial, reddit, ptt, and reel.
News articles: bbc and cnn article-aware extraction.
Code and documents: github file/page content and pdf text extraction.
Generic web pages: playwright, httpx, or firecrawl.
Audio/video URLs: ytdlp generic audio transcription.

Failure behavior

A Loader that cannot handle the input raises a not-applicable attempt so the Load chain can continue.
Content extraction, timeout, and configuration failures are reported in the Load chain failure details.
Prefer kabigon.explain_plan(url) when you need to understand why a URL will use a specific Pipeline or Loader order.

Configuration notes

FIRECRAWL_API_KEY is required for the firecrawl loader.
FFMPEG_PATH can point to a custom FFmpeg binary for Whisper and yt-dlp transcription loaders.
