Step-by-Step Guide to Using Spider Bot
Step 1: Invite the Bot to Your Server
Click the download link above, which will redirect you to the Discord OAuth2 authorization page. Select the server where you want to add the bot and follow the required steps to grant permissions.
Step 2: Authenticate with Spider
Before using the bot to crawl or scrape content, you need to authenticate. Start with the /authenticate command.
/authenticate
The bot will prompt you to enter your credentials for Spider. Follow the instructions provided by the bot to complete the authentication.
Step 3: Purchase Credits
To use Spider’s crawling and scraping capabilities, you need to purchase credits. Visit the Credits page to buy credits. You can reload credits anytime on Discord with the following command:
/purchase_credits
Enter the number of credits you wish to purchase and follow the bot’s instructions to complete the transaction.
Step 4: Crawl Content
With authentication and sufficient credits, you can start crawling websites. Use the /crawl command to specify the URL and other parameters.
/crawl url:<website_url> limit:<number_of_pages> return_format:<format> readability:<true_or_false>
- URL: Enter the URL of the website to be crawled.
- Limit: Specify the number of pages to crawl (up to 40).
- Return Format: Choose the format to return the scraped content (‘raw’, ‘markdown’, ‘commonmark’, or ‘bytes’).
- Readability: Optionally, enable readability to clean up content for large language models (LLMs).
Step 5: Scrape Content
If you need to scrape specific content from a website, use the /scrape command. This command is particularly useful for extracting data from single pages.
Step 6: Screenshot Website
If you need to take screenshots of specific content from a website, use the /screenshot command. This command is particularly useful for taking multi page screenshots.
/scrape url:<website_url> return_format:<format> readability:<true_or_false>
- URL: Enter the URL of the website to scrape.
- Return Format: Choose the format to return the scraped content (‘raw’, ‘markdown’, ‘commonmark’, or ‘bytes’).
- Readability: Optionally, enable readability to clean up content for LLMs.
Enhance Your Data Interaction with AI Bot
Once Spider is set up, you can utilize AI Bot or other AI tools to maximize the data you retrieve.
Query Data with AI
Use AI Bot to query the data extracted from websites. You can ask about main topics, recent trends, and more.
Generate Images from Data
AI tools can transform textual data into images, making it easier to share information with a broader audience. As Spider prepares data formats suitable for LLMs, you can effortlessly discuss various topics on Discord.
Text to Video
AI tools can also transform text into videos for you with a simple prompt and some data from the website, making your data even more engaging.
