Integration with Unstructured

[LoGic142]

I know unstructured is part of the integrations of haystack. I wanted to know how to use it? Also are all the features of unstructured present?

Thanks in advance!

Hey!

Unstructured is available as a file converter. Not all the features are supported.

Some resources:

• Docs
• Integration page

Thanks a ton!

My primary concern was I wanted to extract information from charts, diagrams, etc. (from financial documents), so which converter to use for that?
Unstructured does this, so will the file converter present as an integration here do the job? Or would I have to use some other integration or converter?

Thanks in advance!

Please provide a link to this Unstructured feature and I will tell you whether it is supported or not.

Really sorry for the late reply.
I was basically asking for the 'strategy' kwarg, whether this is present in the integration.

Thanks in advance

Yes, the UnstructuredFileConverter comes with an unstructured_kwargs init parameter.

It can be used to set API kwargs (including strategy). The full list of API parameters is available here.
