It accepts either a URL (which it fetches directly) or a pre-fetched HTML string, returning the core content as a string. The package has no runtime dependencies, making it simple to integrate into web scraping pipelines or content processing workflows.\n\nThe package is in Alpha status and has been abandoned since its single release on 2020-05-24. It was last tested against Python 3.7 and 3.8. While the MIT license is permissive, the lack of maintenance means you are responsible for any fixes, compatibility patches, or adaptation to changes in web page structures. It is suitable only for projects where you can tolerate or work around potential issues without upstream support.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (no maintenance since 2020-05-24), marked Alpha, and offers no advantages over maintained alternatives. The lack of runtime dependencies is a minor plus, but cannot offset the risk of unaddressed bugs, compatibility drift, and no support for modern web structures. Install only if you have a legacy codebase already using it and cannot migrate."},"id":"readable-content","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/readable-content","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/readable-content.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/readable-content/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-05-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"readable-content","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Collect actual content of any article, blog, news, etc."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":84037,"position":14034,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.2"}
