unstructured, community, initialize langchain-unstructured package (#22779)
#### Update (2): 
A single `UnstructuredLoader` is added to handle both local and api
partitioning. This loader also handles single or multiple documents.

#### Changes in `community`:
Changes here do not affect users. In the initial process of using the
SDK for the API Loaders, the Loaders in community were refactored.
Other changes include:
The `UnstructuredBaseLoader` has a new check to see if both
`mode="paged"` and `chunking_strategy="by_page"`. It also now has
`Element.element_id` added to the `Document.metadata`.
`UnstructuredAPIFileLoader` and `UnstructuredAPIFileIOLoader`. As such,
now both directly inherit from `UnstructuredBaseLoader` and initialize
their `file_path`/`file` attributes respectively and implement their own
`_post_process_elements` methods.

--------
#### Update:
New SDK Loaders in a [partner
package](https://python.langchain.com/v0.1/docs/contributing/integrations/#partner-package-in-langchain-repo)
are introduced to prevent breaking changes for users (see discussion
below).

##### TODO:
- [x] Test docstring examples
--------
- **Description:** UnstructuredAPIFileIOLoader and
UnstructuredAPIFileLoader calls to the unstructured api are now made
using the unstructured-client sdk.
- **New Dependencies:** unstructured-client

- [x] **Add tests and docs**: If you're adding a new integration, please
include
- [x] a test for the integration, preferably unit tests that do not rely
on network access,
- [x] update the description in
`docs/docs/integrations/providers/unstructured.mdx`
- [x] **Lint and test**: Run `make format`, `make lint` and `make test`
from the root of the package(s) you've modified. See contribution
guidelines for more: https://python.langchain.com/docs/contributing/

Additional guidelines:
- Make sure optional dependencies are imported within a function.
- Please do not add dependencies to pyproject.toml files (even optional
ones) unless they are required for unit tests.
- Most PRs should not touch more than one package.
- Changes should be backwards compatible.
- If you are adding something to community, do not re-import it in
langchain.

TODO:
- [x] Update
https://python.langchain.com/v0.1/docs/integrations/document_loaders/unstructured_file/#unstructured-api
-
`langchain/docs/docs/integrations/document_loaders/unstructured_file.ipynb`
- The description here needs to indicate that users should install
`unstructured-client` instead of `unstructured`. Read over closely to
look for any other changes that need to be made.
- [x] Update the `lazy_load` method in `UnstructuredBaseLoader` to
handle json responses from the API instead of just lists of elements.
- This method may need to be overwritten by the API loaders instead of
changing it in the `UnstructuredBaseLoader`.
- [x] Update the documentation links in the class docstrings (the
Unstructured documents have moved)
- [x] Update Document.metadata to include `element_id` (see thread
[here](https://unstructuredw-kbe4326.slack.com/archives/C044N0YV08G/p1718187499818419))

# langchain-unstructured
This package contains the LangChain integration with Unstructured
## Installation
```bash
pip install -U langchain-unstructured
```
And you should configure credentials by setting the following environment variables:
```bash
export UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
## Loaders
Partition and load files using either the `unstructured-client` sdk and the
Unstructured API or locally using the `unstructured` library.
API:
To partition via the Unstructured API `pip install unstructured-client` and set
`partition_via_api=True` and define `api_key`. If you are running the unstructured API
locally, you can change the API rule by defining `url` when you initialize the
loader. The hosted Unstructured API requires an API key. See the links below to
learn more about our API offerings and get an API key.
Local:
By default the file loader uses the Unstructured `partition` function and will
automatically detect the file type.
In addition to document specific partition parameters, Unstructured has a rich set
of "chunking" parameters for post-processing elements into more useful text segments
for uses cases such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). You can pass additional
Unstructured kwargs to the loader to configure different unstructured settings.
Setup:
```bash
pip install -U langchain-unstructured
pip install -U unstructured-client
export UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
Instantiate:
```python
from langchain_unstructured import UnstructuredLoader
loader = UnstructuredLoader(
file_path = ["example.pdf", "fake.pdf"],
api_key=UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY,
partition_via_api=True,
chunking_strategy="by_title",
strategy="fast",
)
```
Load:
```python
docs = loader.load()
print(docs[0].page_content[:100])
print(docs[0].metadata)
```
