How this service works
Extract a readable article from supplied HTML, including title, author, language, metadata, clean Markdown, links and tables. Uses Mozilla Readability with a fallback for short pages. No remote fetches or script execution; URLs resolve relative links.
Output
Returns a structured object containing the article title, author name, detected language, clean Markdown body, extracted hyperlinks, any tables present in the article, and additional metadata — all parsed from the supplied HTML using Mozilla Readability, with a fallback for short pages.
Example use cases
Summarize a paywalled article snippet
“I've got the HTML source of this article I saved locally — pull out the main readable text as Markdown so I can summarize it without all the nav bars and ads getting in the way.”
Extract structured data from a blog post
“Here's the raw HTML of a blog post — extract the title, author, language, and body as clean Markdown, and make sure to include any tables it contains.”
Feed article content into a RAG pipeline
“I need to index this article into my knowledge base — take this HTML and give me the clean article text in Markdown format along with any metadata like title and author so I can store it properly.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://reader-api-production-bde1.up.railway.app/v1/articles/extract?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you already have the raw HTML of a page and need to extract its readable article content without making any outbound HTTP requests. It is ideal for pipelines where fetching is handled upstream, for privacy-sensitive workflows where no remote calls should be made, or when you need reliable Markdown output plus structured metadata (title, author, language, tables, links) from article-style HTML. Prefer alternatives if you need the service to fetch the URL itself.
Side effects
- HTML too short or lacking article-like content — fallback heuristic may return minimal content
- HTML exceeds 250,000 character limit — request rejected
- Malformed or unparseable HTML — parser may return empty or incomplete fields
- Relative links in HTML cannot be resolved without a base URL supplied in the url field
- Non-article pages (e.g. homepages, search results) may yield poor extraction quality
