article scraper
The article_scraper
crate provides a simple way to extract meaningful content from the web.
It contains two ways of locating the desired content
1. Rust implementation of Full-Text RSS
This makes use of website specific extraction rules. Which has the advantage of fast & accurate results. The disadvantages however are: the config needs to be updated as the website changes and a new extraction rule is needed for every website.
A central repository of extraction rules and information about writing your own rules can be found here: ftr-site-config. Please consider contributing new rules or updates to it.
article_scraper
embeds all the rules in the ftr-site-config repository for convenience. Custom and updated rules can be loaded from a user_configs
path.
2. Mozilla Readability
In case the ftr-config based extraction fails the mozilla Readability algorithm will be used as a fall-back. This re-implementation tries to mimic the original as closely as possible.
Example
use article_scraper::ArticleScraper;
use url::Url;
use reqwest::Client;
let scraper = ArticleScraper::new(None);
let url = Url::parse("https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/04/21/science/parrots-video-chat-facetime.html");
let client = Client::new();
let article = scraper.parse(&url, false, &client, None).await.unwrap();
