What is Contextractor?
Contextractor extracts clean, readable content from any web page — stripping away navigation, ads, and boilerplate to leave just the text you need.
It is built on the Rust port of Trafilatura for extraction, with Crawlee — a TypeScript crawler driving Playwright — handling the crawling. Ideal for building LLM training datasets, RAG pipelines, and research applications.
Run Contextractor at scale on Apify, or use the Playground to paste HTML and preview extraction results in your browser. Source code on GitHub.
What is Trafilatura?
Trafilatura is an open-source library that extracts the main content from web pages — article text, headings, and metadata — while stripping navigation, ads, sidebars, and footers. It uses a heuristic pipeline with fallback algorithms and consistently scores highest in independent extraction benchmarks. Contextractor runs the Rust port of Trafilatura through a napi-rs binding, paired with Crawlee and Playwright for crawling — same heuristics, no Python runtime required.
