python-readability is a python package that allows developers to extract the main content of a web page, removing any unnecessary or unwanted elements, such as ads, navigation, and sidebars.

It is based on the algorithm used by the popular web-based service, Readability, and it uses the beautifulsoup4 package to parse the HTML and extract the main content.

Readability is similar to Newspaper in terms that it's extracting HTML data

sumy is a Python library for automatic summarization of text documents. It can be used to extract summaries from various input formats such as plaintext, HTML, and URLs. It supports multiple languages and multiple summarization algorithms, including Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), Luhn, Edmundson, TextRank, and SumBasic.

Example Use


import requests
from readability import document

response = requests.get('http://example.com')
doc = document(response.content)
doc.title()
'example domain'

doc.summary()
"""<html><body><div><body id="readabilitybody">\n<div>\n    <h1>example domain</h1>\n
<p>this domain is established to be used for illustrative examples in documents. you may
use this\n    domain in examples without prior coordination or asking for permission.</p>
\n    <p><a href="http://www.iana.org/domains/example">more information...</a></p>\n</div>
\n</body>\n</div></body></html>"""
