Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThe library is no longer actively maintained; consider using readability-lxml or trafilatura instead.

fix

Switch to readability-lxml (pip install readability-lxml) or trafilatura for better maintained alternatives.

affects: all

gotchaImport paths differ from many tutorials. The main class 'Article' is in the 'breadability.readable' submodule, not directly in 'breadability'.

fix

Use 'from breadability.readable import Article'.

affects: all

gotchaThe library expects HTML string input, not a URL. You must fetch the page yourself (e.g., with requests).

fix

Use requests.get(url).text to get the HTML, then pass to Article().
