Extract clean article text, metadata, summary bullets, source snippets, and change signals from public article URLs.

This Actor is designed for AI agents, RAG preparation, newsletter workflows, SEO review, competitive research, and content monitoring where a generic web scraper is too noisy or unpredictable.

What It Returns

• Clean article text and preview
• Title, description, author, dates, canonical URL, language, and keywords
• Deterministic summary bullets
• Matched focus terms
• Content hash and new, changed, or unchanged status
• Evidence snippets and evidence URLs
• Confidence, completeness, missing fields, diagnostics, and readable errors

Pricing Design

The intended pay-per-event setup is:

• apify-actor-start: a tiny run-start fee
• useful-article-result: charged only for useful public article records
• no apify-default-dataset-item

Short pages, private-network URLs, sensitive token-like paths, failed fetches, duplicates, and unchanged comparison records should not charge the useful article event.

Good Fits

• Summarizing public blog posts or news articles for AI agents
• Preparing public article records for RAG or spreadsheets
• Monitoring whether important articles changed
• Checking article metadata completeness
• Building source-linked research briefs

Boundaries

This Actor does not log in, bypass paywalls, use cookies, crawl private feeds, or enrich private persons. It accepts public HTTP and HTTPS article URLs only. Credentials, query parameters, fragments, private-network addresses, localhost, .local, account/invite/reset/unsubscribe paths, and token-like paths are rejected or safely redacted.
