## WebBaseLoader

This covers how to use `WebBaseLoader` to load all text from `HTML` webpages into a document format that we can use downstream. For more custom logic for loading webpages look at some child class examples such as `IMSDbLoader`, `AZLyricsLoader`, and `CollegeConfidentialLoader`.

If you don’t want to worry about website crawling, bypassing JS-blocking sites, and data cleaning, consider using `FireCrawlLoader`.

```
from langchain_community.document_loaders import WebBaseLoader
```

```
loader = WebBaseLoader("https://www.espn.com/")
```

To bypass SSL verification errors during fetching, you can set the “verify” option:

loader.requests\_kwargs = {‘verify’:False}

```

### Load multiple urls concurrently[​](#load-multiple-urls-concurrently "Direct link to Load multiple urls concurrently")

You can speed up the scraping process by scraping and parsing multiple urls concurrently.

There are reasonable limits to concurrent requests, defaulting to 2 per second. If you aren’t concerned about being a good citizen, or you control the server you are scraping and don’t care about load, you can change the `requests_per_second` parameter to increase the max concurrent requests. Note, while this will speed up the scraping process, but may cause the server to block you. Be careful!

## Using proxies[​](#using-proxies "Direct link to Using proxies")

Sometimes you might need to use proxies to get around IP blocks. You can pass in a dictionary of proxies to the loader (and `requests` underneath) to use them.

```
loader = WebBaseLoader(    "https://www.walmart.com/search?q=parrots",    proxies={        "http": "http://{username}:{password}:@proxy.service.com:6666/",        "https": "https://{username}:{password}:@proxy.service.com:6666/",    },)docs = loader.load()
