How this service works

Extract clean article text, author, date, images, tags, and sentiment from news/blog pages.

Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing the parsed article's title, full text content, author name(s), publication date, primary image, tags (up to maxTags), NLP-derived entities/sentiment/summary if requested, and optionally comment threads — all extracted cleanly from the raw HTML of the given URL.

Example use cases

Example prompt

“Pull the full article from https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/15/technology/ai-regulation.html — extract the title, author, publish date, body text, and up to 15 tags, and also run NLP to get entities and sentiment.”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://diffbot.mpp.paywithlocus.com/diffbot/article?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need to extract structured data specifically from article or news pages, including NLP enrichment like entities, sentiment, and summaries. Prefer this over the generic Analyze endpoint when you know the page is an article. Choose it over manual HTML parsing when you need clean, normalized fields like author, publish date, and body text without boilerplate.

Side effects

URL is behind a hard paywall or login wall — returns empty or partial content
URL is not an article page — returns low-confidence or mismatched content
Timeout exceeded for slow-loading pages — returns timeout error
Invalid or unreachable URL — returns HTTP error or connection failure
Multi-page article not fully concatenated if paging param not set
NLP features not available for non-English content
