What does the Article and Text Extractor return?

It returns the readable body as plain text and Markdown, available page metadata, section details, word count, estimated reading time, and fetch evidence.

Does the tool summarize or rewrite the article?

No. It extracts source content and does not generate an AI summary or rewrite.

Can it read subscription or private articles?

No. It processes only the public static response it can fetch and does not bypass logins, paywalls, or access controls.

Reader-mode thinking

Keep the body. Preserve the context.

Find the readable region

The extraction engine favors the main document content over navigation, scripts, styles, and repeated page chrome.

Retain article identity

Available title, author, publication date, language, sections, final URL, and content hash stay beside the body.

Return source text

The tool does not summarize, paraphrase, translate, or add claims. It returns the extracted source content for review.

Use the result carefully

Extraction is not permission or verification

The tool can separate likely main content from a public static response, but it cannot guarantee that every paragraph belongs to the article or that every article element was captured. Compare important extracts with the original page.

It does not bypass subscriptions, logins, consent controls, or technical restrictions. JavaScript-only content may be missing. Each displayed body format is limited to 100,000 characters, and the report states when shortening occurs.

Respect applicable law, website terms, copyright, privacy, and attribution requirements. Use the Content Extraction API for rendering options, controlled automation, and additional structured outputs.

Common questions

Article extractor FAQ

What pages work best?

Articles, blog posts, guides, documentation, and other pages with a clear main reading region work best. Homepages, dashboards, catalogs, and highly interactive pages may produce less focused results.

How is this different from the Web Page Scraper?

The Web Page Scraper focuses on converting a general webpage into Markdown and text. This tool presents the content as an article with byline metadata, reading length, and a detected outline.

Can I use the output for AI or RAG?

Yes, when you have permission and retain provenance. Keep the final URL, extraction evidence, and content hash with stored text.

Extract the article, not the interface

The free Article Text Extractor isolates the readable story from navigation, promotional blocks, cookie notices, and repeated page furniture. Enter one public article URL to obtain a cleaner source for research, editorial review, or an AI knowledge workflow.

Confirm important facts against the original publisher. For programmatic collection, compare the structured response available through the Content Extraction API.

What it extracts

Review the title, readable body, byline, publication date, section outline, Markdown, and plain text when those elements exist.

When to use it

Use it for content research, summarization preparation, RAG ingestion tests, and checking whether a page exposes a meaningful article body.
