Show HN: Emissary, a RESTful, scriptable content extraction service
- tectonic 11y agoMight be interesting if connected with Huginn.
- curiousjorge 11y agoNot sure what this does, is it able to automatically extract data from a page? Those are notoriously unreliable, in my own experience, but maybe I'm not getting the full picture here, I read the docs but not sure what this is
- LukeB42 11y agoYeah it's an RSS reader that stores plain text. There's an included client that will pipe the text into less but with it being a REST API you could retrieve the data from other stuff. For instance, a +news IRC channel mode: http://i.cubeupload.com/9ApdXQ.png http://i.cubeupload.com/9ApdXQ.png
- curiousjorge 11y agooh okay so it requires RSS feed, it can't automatically detect content on a given web page?
