Article Extractor — extract webpage content and metadata

Extract Article From Web API

What it does

Article Extractor pulls the main content from a webpage and returns a clean article record you can use in your app or pipeline. Send a url, get back extracted text plus metadata such as title, author, date, images, language, word_count, source_url, and per-field confidence scores.

Use it when you need to turn messy web pages into structured content for search indexing, content ingestion, reading apps, monitoring, or editorial workflows. The response is designed for pages where the article body is embedded in surrounding layout, ads, navigation, or other non-essential markup.

Because the endpoint works from a webpage URL, it fits common automation tasks like validating whether a page has publishable article content, building a content feed from public sources, or auditing source pages before downstream processing. If the extractor cannot identify a field, the schema reflects that by omitting it rather than inventing extra structure.

Article Extractor keeps the output focused on what was actually found on the page, so you can store, display, rank, or review the extracted article data with minimal post-processing.

What you'll get back

Returns a JSON object with article fields such as body, date, title, author, images, language, confidence, source_url, and word_count, when available.
