You can install this lib directly from github repository by execute these command
pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/slaveofcode/boilerpipe3@master
Or from official pypi
pip install boilerpipe3
Dependencies: jpype, charade
The boilerpipe jar files will get fetched and included automatically when building the package.
Be sure to have set JAVA_HOME properly since jpype depends on this setting.
The constructor takes a keyword argment extractor, being one of the available boilerpipe extractor types:
- DefaultExtractor
- ArticleExtractor
- ArticleSentencesExtractor
- KeepEverythingExtractor
- KeepEverythingWithMinKWordsExtractor
- LargestContentExtractor
- NumWordsRulesExtractor
- CanolaExtractor
If no extractor is passed the DefaultExtractor will be used by default. Additional keyword arguments are either html for HTML text or url.
from boilerpipe.extract import Extractor
extractor = Extractor(extractor='ArticleExtractor', url=your_url)
Then, to extract relevant content:
extracted_text = extractor.getText()
extracted_html = extractor.getHTML()
