    You will not win against SSRF using a blocklist of names. You need a comprehensive solution that is designed for this and will check the end address after redirections, DNS resolutions, ... have been applied in whatever library you use for HTTP. An example is advocate for Python https://github.com/JordanMilne/Advocate

    Depending upon the type of content, one might want to look into using the Readability (Browder's reader view) to parse the webpage. It will give you all the useful info without the junk. Then you can put it in the DB as needed.

    Btw, readability, is also available in few other languages like Kotlin:

    My Hacker News client HACK for iOS and Android has a reader mode ability browser. While on iOS, I was able to use the reader mode feature provided by SFSafariViewController, that wasn't available on android.

    So I had to read a ton about this. I ended up using a heavily modified Kotlin version of Readability:

    Not sure about OP but I just implemented this in my Hacker News android client (thanks for the idea OP).

    This is how I implemented it. I had already achieved article to "reader mode" by heavily customizing the Kotlin port of Mozilla‘s Readability:

    https://github.com/dankito/Readability4J

    Then I pass the text via Android's TextToSpeech library and it works very well:

        fun trySpeaking(str:String){
