In this blog post, we explore how you can generate a company description via an API endpoint. For this, we use pipe0.
Pipe0 is a framework for data enrichment. To enrich data with pipe0 you use enrichment pipes. There are several pipes available to generate a company description via API. For this blog post, we're using the pipe CompanyGetDescriptionPipe0:Website.
This pipe relies on scraping website data from a URL and summarizing this data with the help of an LLM.
The cost per invocation is ~1ct. per company description.
