node-red-contrib-readability

A Node-RED readability node

A node that runs readability-js on the input payload.

Installation

Install node-red-contrib-readability using npm:

npm install --save node-red-contrib-readability

To use the node, launch Node-RED (see running Node-RED for help getting started).

The input payload should be the HTML to run readability on.

The output payload will have the following properties (if an article was found in the HTML):

title - the article title
content - the article content HTML
text - the article content text
excerpt - the article description from any description, og:description or twitter:description <meta>
length - length of article, in characters
icons - array of any icons specified as <link rel=...> icon tags
meta - a nested object of meta data, e.g. <meta property="og:type" content="article"> gives meta = {og: {type: 'article'}}

All other properties on the msg object will be preserved.

The node icon is the readability icon from Material Design Icons by Austin Andrews @Templarian.
