This is great! Can't wait until they add steering, gas, and brake to the API.

yes, its on the roadmap. a full photo api is next.

Thanks. Yes, the page classifier still does miss, which is why it's still in beta status and not fully in production as with our other APIs. Would love to hear about your use case.

The next API we'll train an API for is likely image/photo pages. Event pages are definitely on our roadmap, but we've still got work to do there. Could definitely use your help with training data and learning more about your use case.

Glad you liked that! That infographic was made by the multi-talented Dan Mayer, who we highly recommend. Check out his portfolio at http://danmayer.com

The most pressing problem that the page classifier solves is for the current community of developers using Diffbot. We only offer APIs at the moment for extracting information out of frontpages and article pages (see http://www.diffbot.co

Wanted to thank the HN community for all your encouragement. I first released the Diffbot API as a "Show HN:" post last year ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2310852 ). $2M+ and lots of hard work later, we're powering some of the larg

I tried a couple wikipedia pages and it seemed to work ok. Can you email me an example?

I just timed that Huffington Post example on my computer and it took around 80ms to extract at 100% CPU. The rub though is that, if you type in a totally new URL on our demo page, most of the time is actually spent in downloading the page

In short, yes. The key innovation is that we've come up with a lossy, fixed-length representation of the visual features that we can use to do classification upon. I'll try to do a more detailed writeup on our blog when I find some time. bt

It's fairly CPU intensive. Like many classification-based techniques, much of the computation is in constructing the features. For our case, this means we had to implement most of CSS to get the visual features of every element on the pag

Right now, the API just returns back the raw text for simplicity's sake, but it would be possible to make an option for returning a bit of HTML structure, which would address the problem of sections, inline images, tables, etc. The combinat

We have a separate API for non-article pages (It's called the Follow API). It's not well documented yet, but you can get an idea for it from this demo: http://www.diffbot.com/mobilizer which will turn any webpage into a mobile version. T

I'd be happy to talk about the visual-based statistical classification technology in a follow-up blog post if there's interest.

by miket 16y ago
Great suggestion, you can use the article API already to do this (providing the URL of the post and the 'tag' parameter), but maybe you are thinking of analyzing other types of content? Or perhaps the ability to POST your own text data inst

Not at all, feel free to use it for commercial uses. I'm removing that from the terms.
