Python-Goose is a Python library that extracts the main body text, metadata, top image, and embedded videos from news article web pages. It is a rewrite of the Java/Scala Goose article extractor with language-aware parsing.
Use cases
- extract main article text from news pages
- get the top image from an article url
- scrape meta description and meta tags
- extract embedded youtube or vimeo videos from articles
- parse articles in multiple languages
- build a readability-style clean reader view
When to choose
- you need to extract clean article content and metadata from news-style pages in Python
- you want automatic main-image detection from articles
When to avoid
- you need general-purpose web crawling or scraping of non-article pages
- you need a actively developed modern extractor with ongoing updates
