Show HN: Instaparser – An API for Instapaper's parser
- bthdonohue 11y agoBrian Donohue from Instapaper here. Over the past few years we've gotten a significant number of requests from developers to have access to Instapaper's parser. Today we launched Instaparser, an API to access Instapaper's parser. Instaparser is a paid service, but there's a free tier under https://www.instaparser.com/signup/trial https://www.instaparser.com/signup/trial that can be used for testing or just quick weekend hacks. Personally, this is the first developer-focused product I've launched, and I'm very excited to get it out into the community and see what people will do with it.
- fiatjaf 11y agoSome time ago I would be madly looking for this. The prices are much much better than https://www.diffbot.com/pricing/ https://www.diffbot.com/pricing/
- bthdonohue 11y agoIt's also a lot faster than Diffbot. We were using Diffbot at Instapaper before launching the new parser, and our total parsing time dropped an order of magnitude: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staticinstapaper/blog/parsing_time.png https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staticinstapaper/blog/par...
- rahimnathwani 11y agoThis is cool. Fivefilters does something similar with their fulltextrss product. Despite the name, it also works for single pages, e.g. http://ftr.fivefilters.org/makefulltextfeed.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.instapaper.com%2Fpost%2F137288701461&max=3 http://ftr.fivefilters.org/makefulltextfeed.php?url=http%3A%... I haven't compared parsing quality.
