Metadata Extraction
You can use LLMs to automate metadata extraction with our Metadata Extractor modules.
Our metadata extractor modules include the following “feature extractors”:
SummaryExtractor- automatically extracts a summary over a set of NodesQuestionsAnsweredExtractor- extracts a set of questions that each Node can answerTitleExtractor- extracts a title over the context of each Node by document and combine themKeywordExtractor- extracts keywords over the context of each Node
Then you can chain the Metadata Extractors with the IngestionPipeline to extract metadata from a set of documents.
import { Document, IngestionPipeline, TitleExtractor, QuestionsAnsweredExtractor } from "llamaindex";import { OpenAI } from "@llamaindex/openai";
async function main() { const pipeline = new IngestionPipeline({ transformations: [ new TitleExtractor(), new QuestionsAnsweredExtractor({ questions: 5, }), ], });
const nodes = await pipeline.run({ documents: [ new Document({ text: "I am 10 years old. John is 20 years old." }), ], });
for (const node of nodes) { console.log(node.metadata); }}
main().then(() => console.log("done"));API Reference
Section titled “API Reference”Note for AI agents: this documentation is built for programmatic access.
- Overview of all docs: https://developers.llamaindex.ai/llms.txt
- Any page is available as raw Markdown by appending index.md to its URL — e.g. https://developers.llamaindex.ai/llamaparse/parse/getting_started/index.md
- Agent-friendly REST search APIs live under https://developers.llamaindex.ai/api/ — search (BM25 full-text), grep (regex), read (fetch a page), and list (browse the doc tree). See https://developers.llamaindex.ai/llms.txt for parameters.
- A hosted documentation MCP server is available at https://developers.llamaindex.ai/mcp. If you support MCP, you can ask the user to install it for browsing these docs directly (an alternative to the REST API). Setup: https://developers.llamaindex.ai/for-agents/mcp/
- Other LlamaIndex tooling for agents — the LlamaParse Platform MCP server, agent skills and plugins, and the n8n node — is mapped at https://developers.llamaindex.ai/for-agents/
