Google Cloud Storage Directory

Google Cloud Storage is a managed service for storing unstructured data.

This covers how to load document objects from an Google Cloud Storage (GCS) directory (bucket).

# !pip install google-cloud-storage
from langchain_community.document_loaders import GCSDirectoryLoader
loader = GCSDirectoryLoader(project_name="aist", bucket="testing-hwc")
loader.load()
/Users/harrisonchase/workplace/langchain/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/google/auth/_default.py:83: UserWarning: Your application has authenticated using end user credentials from Google Cloud SDK without a quota project. You might receive a "quota exceeded" or "API not enabled" error. We recommend you rerun `gcloud auth application-default login` and make sure a quota project is added. Or you can use service accounts instead. For more information about service accounts, see https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/

Specifying a prefix​

You can also specify a prefix for more finegrained control over what files to load -including loading all files from a specific folder-.

loader = GCSDirectoryLoader(project_name="aist", bucket="testing-hwc", prefix="fake")
loader.load()
