">[Apify Dataset](https://docs.apify.com/platform/storage/dataset) is a scaleable append-only storage with sequential access built for storing structured web scraping results, such as a list of products or Google SERPs, and then export them to various formats like JSON, CSV, or Excel. Datasets are mainly used to save results of [Apify Actors](https://apify.com/store)—serverless cloud programs for varius web scraping, crawling, and data extraction use cases.\n",
"This notebook shows how to load Apify datasets to LangChain.\n",

"## Prerequisites\n",
"\n",
"You need to have an existing dataset on the Apify platform. If you don't have one, please first check out [this notebook](../../../agents/tools/examples/apify.ipynb) on how to use Apify to extract content from documentation, knowledge bases, help centers, or blogs."
"Then provide a function that maps Apify dataset record fields to LangChain `Document` format.\n",
"\n",
"For example, if your dataset items are structured like this:\n",
"\n",
"```json\n",
"{\n",
" \"url\": \"https://apify.com\",\n",
" \"text\": \"Apify is the best web scraping and automation platform.\"\n",
"}\n",
"```\n",
"\n",
"The mapping function in the code below will convert them to LangChain `Document` format, so that you can use them further with any LLM model (e.g. for question answering)."
" Apify is a platform for developing, running, and sharing serverless cloud programs. It enables users to create web scraping and automation tools and publish them on the Apify platform.\n",
