The Cleanest AI-Powered Article Extraction API

Frequently Asked Questions

• What kind of data do you extract from an article?

  Ujeebu's Article Extraction API comprehensively and accurately extracts full article text (cleaned of ads and clutter), author, publish date, modification date, favicon, high-resolution images, embedded rich media (videos, tweets), and structured HTML. We even handle multi-page articles, automatically detecting and stitching together paginated content for seamless long-form extraction. Every piece of data is returned in ready-to-use JSON format, eliminating manual parsing and ensuring your workflows stay efficient. Perfect for SEO analysis, content aggregation, or AI training

• Which websites can I extract articles from using your platform?

  You can extract articles from any public website, in any language, using our Article Extractor API. If the site isn't publicly accessible, you can still pass us the HTML directly, and we'll parse it for you. This flexibility covers everything from news sites to private intranets (with appropriate access).

• What if the source website changes its Layout or structure?

  Our Article Extractor API is layout-agnostic—it analyzes and infers article data dynamically from the underlying HTML. This design ensures a high success rate (over 99.9% of sites) even if web pages undergo layout or structure changes.

• How do you handle large-scale scraping projects (scalability)?

  Our multi-datacenter auto-scaling infrastructure allows you to handle thousands of concurrent web scraping requests per user. We automatically scale up or down based on load, helping keep your web scraping costs manageable and ensuring consistent, high-speed performance for large-scale data extraction.

• What is a credit?

  A credit is our unit of measure for API usage. Each API request uses a certain number of credits, and this number varies based on your proxy type (data center, residential, geo-targeted, etc.) and the specific scraping parameters chosen. This transparent model helps you track and optimize your web scraping costs.

• What measures do you have to ensure data quality and accuracy?

  We rigorously monitor all scrapers and address potential data extraction issues as they arise. We also prioritize user-reported issues, ensuring a quick turnaround to maintain data accuracy and quality control. For more on our performance, check out our metrics on RapidAPI.

• Why use the Ujeebu article extractor API instead of open source tools?

  While open source tools like Readability or Newspaper3k can perform adequately in most scenarios, they sometimes struggle with non-Latin languages, JavaScript-heavy sites, and do not inherently handle proxy rotation or advanced features like pagination and uncommon character encodings. Our Article Extractor API seamlessly manages these complexities, making it production-ready with minimal overhead.

• What is the average article extraction time from a URL?

  Most articles are parsed in under 3 seconds, but actual extraction time can vary based on the website's load, article length, and whether JavaScript rendering is required. We offer customization parameters to fine-tune performance vs. quality, and we also cache results for faster repeated requests.

• Do you provide SLA guarantees?

  We use a pay-for-success model, so you're only billed for successful requests, and we maintain 99.9% uptime (see status.ujeebu.com). If you need a signed SLA for your enterprise, we can accommodate that—just let us know.
