🧠 Smart Article & Blog Extractor

The ultimate tool for LLMs, RAG pipelines, and Content Analyzers. Extract clean, ad-free text from any news site, blog, or article in seconds.

Why this Actor?

When you train AI models or build RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, you don't want menus, sidebars, cookie popups, or footer links ruining your dataset. You only want the Title, Author, and the actual Content.

This actor uses Mozilla's powerful Readability algorithm (the same engine that powers Firefox's Reader View) to automatically strip away all the junk and give you a beautifully clean text output.

Advantages:

• Universal: Works on Medium, TechCrunch, WordPress blogs, Substack, CNN, NYTimes, and 99% of other article pages.
• Ultra-Fast: Uses HTTP requests (CheerioCrawler), extracting articles in less than a second per page.
• Cost-Effective: Because it doesn't open heavy browsers, your Apify Compute Unit (CU) costs are practically zero.

💰 Pricing: Pay-Per-Result

We charge only $0.50 per 1,000 articles extracted.
