ReadabilityKit helps you to extract a relevant preview (title, description, image and video) from the URL.

The goal is to try and get the best extraction from the article for servicing applications that need to show a preview of a web URL along with an image. Comparison with other extraction libraries available here. Comparison with another iOS extraction library (SwiftLinkPreview) available here.

Inspired by snacktory and newspaper.

Extracts:

• Title
• Description
• Top image
• Top video
• Keywords

• iOS 8.0+ / Mac OS X 10.9+ / tvOS 9.0+ / watchOS 2.0+

Readability.parse(url: articleUrl, { data in
  let title = data?.title
  let description = data?.description
  let keywords = data?.keywords
  let imageUrl = data?.topImage
  let videoUrl = data?.topVideo
})

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

• ReadabilityKit uses part of ar90 algorithm which was transformed into the Redability.com product. This allows for more accurate extraction.
• Video support. ReadabilityKit detects videos on the page and extracts the most relevant to Readability.topVideo.
• Typed API that allows you to use statically typed properties without force casting.
• Keyword extraction.
