Trafilatura: Python tool to gather text on the Web
The feature list answers that question pretty well: https://github.com/adbar/trafilatura#features
Basically: you could implement all of this on top of BeautifulSoup - polite crawling policies, sitemap and feed parsing, URL de-duplication, parallel processing, download queues, heuristics for extracting just the main article content, metadata extraction, language detection... but it would require writing an enormous amount of extra code.

Show HN: Build AI Dags with Memory; Run and Validate LLM Tools in Containers
The WebScraper tool uses Trafilatura [1] to scrape and parse HTML—nothing too fancy. "Scraping" a React site would require a totally different approach, probably something more akin to Adept's ACT-1 [2].
I run a local chat app built with Griptape and I use it to give me summaries of web pages or answer specific questions all the time :)

Powerful and free scraper with a headless browser under the hood and Readability for parsing
I've been playing with Trafilatura lately, and it's very good. There are a few very thorough comparisons to other projects and it really shines. It doesn't do anything headless from what I can tell, but it doesn't have to do the scraping itself. Maybe an option could be to use Playwright to scrape, then Trafilatura to parse. Food for thought.

I made a Chrome Extension that lets you ask any question about the page you are on (bluf.ai)
Cool! If you care to explain me further... :) ... I tried parsing a page using: https://github.com/adbar/trafilatura, json stringify it and passing it to https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/embeddings/create. How do I use the response as an input later? <3
