Readability-Extractor

This is a tiny JS wrapper library around Mozilla's article-text extraction tool https://github.com/mozilla/readability.

It's designed to be used as an ArchiveBox archive method.

Install

``bash npm install -g 'git+https://github.com/pirate/readability-extractor'

`which is equivalent to this:`


curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pirate/readability-extractor/master/readability-extractor > /usr/local/bin/readability-extractor
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/readability-extractor


Usage

bash
readability-extractor    > 

readability-extractor some_article.html 'https://exmaple.com/original/url/some/article.html' 'UTF-8' > some_article.json

json
{
    "title": "Title autodetected from article html",
    "byline": "Autodetected author...",
    "excerpt": "Autodetected short description",
    "dir": "ltr",
    "length": 1337,
    "lang": null,
    "charset": "UTF-8",
    "content": "abc some article body text...
",
    "textContent": "abc some article body text..."
}


ArchiveBox Integration

`bash

`You don't have to run these commands usually.`


Readability is on by default and ArchiveBox will find any 

installed version in your $PATH automatically
However, if you explicitly want to turn readability on

and/or specify a manual path to the binary, you can do this:

archivebox config --set SAVE_READABILITY=True
archivebox config --set READABILITY_BINARY="$(which readability-extractor)"
test archiving oneshot using only singlefile+readability

archivebox add --extract=singlefile,readability 'https://exmaple.com'
