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
