trafilatura VS newspaper

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.

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 :)

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.

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

I want to test how easy it is to install a package plus special extra dependencies to run a certain script in that package: https://github.com/adbar/trafilatura

I think then you're looking for something similar to newspaper3k. Unfortunately it's written in python. https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper

There are also many ready made libraries available for content extraction written in python which is more commonly used in data science, e.g. goose3 (https://github.com/goose3/goose3) and newspaper (https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper).

I have searched the web but the library I have found was for Python only. I need a library written in Java or Kotlin so that I could use it on Android. Is there any library for that? If you know that there is no such Java library, please let me know that so that I could stop searching.

I have tried several freemium API, but they drop some whole paragraphs of a simple blog article. Next I'm considering to try out https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper , which executes NLP processing.

I don't think there is any library that works better with the Notion API than others. I used https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper a few years back for article extractions and it worked great!

just by looking for a sec on GitHub I found this. The docs are here and at first glance this thing seems to still be maintained and absolutely feature packed

These Python scrapers take RAW RSS 2.0 XML data as input and replace their description s with full source articles parsed/fetched via Newspaper (first scraper) or Article-Parser (second scraper).
