etrafilatura
Python binding of trafilatura-rs — the pure-Rust engine by nchapman that extracts the main text, comments and metadata of web pages, stripping boilerplate, with trafilatura's syntax: same signatures, same lxml trees in trafilatura's vocabulary, trafilatura's own renderers — on a compiled engine, with three dependencies instead of seven and the GIL released.
📖 Documentation: https://edamlabs.github.io/etrafilatura/
pip install etrafilatura # or: uv add etrafilatura
import etrafilatura as trafilatura # drop-in syntax
downloaded = trafilatura.fetch_url("https://example.org/article")
trafilatura.extract(downloaded, output_format="markdown", with_metadata=True)
trafilatura.extract(html_string) # 'txt' by default
trafilatura.bare_extraction(html_string) # Document with .text, .body, .comments…
trafilatura.extract_metadata(html_string) # title, author, date, sitename…
trafilatura.extract("https://example.org/article", input_format="auto") # extension: fetch, then extract
Benchmark — pytest-benchmark medians against Python trafilatura 2.3.1: on the two real pages (PEP 8,
Wikipedia), 1.2–1.5× faster plain-text extraction, 1.6–2.1× with XML and metadata, 2.7–4.4× on metadata alone.
Extraction on small synthetic pages, under a millisecond, weighs the Python-side tree conversion more: 0.6–2.9×.
html2txt and baseline run the same vendored code on both sides and measure the noise: 0.9–1.2×
(full matrix and method).
Agreement with trafilatura — on the synthetic test pages, 64 of 84 format cases are byte-identical and the other 20 are declared differences (tags, TEI version). On the eight-page corpus, real pages included, word-token agreement is 99.5 % (txt) and 99.6 % (markdown); the real pages differ by the engine's content selection (method, map).

Extraction quality, heuristics and performance belong to trafilatura-rs: extraction issues go upstream, Python API issues here.
