Content Extraction with Tinq.ai

Boulama Kandine -

Introduction

In today's digital age, the ability to efficiently extract and analyze web content is invaluable for researchers, marketers, developers, and content creators.

Tinq.ai's Article Extractor offers a powerful solution to this challenge, providing both an API and a user-friendly web interface. This tutorial will guide you through using both methods and explore how to integrate the Article Extractor with other Tinq.ai tools for a comprehensive content analysis workflow.

Part 1: Using the Tinq.ai Article Extractor API

The API allows for programmatic access to the article extraction functionality, perfect for integrating into your own applications or scripts.

Step 1: Setting Up

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • A Tinq.ai account with API access
  • Basic knowledge of making HTTP requests (we'll use curl in our examples, but you can use any programming language)

Step 2: Constructing the API Request

The API endpoint is:

https://tinq.ai/api/v2/extract-article

You'll need to send a POST request with the following headers:

accept: application/json
content-type: application/json

The request body should be a JSON object with the extract_url key:

{
  "extract_url": "https://example.com/your-article-url"
}

Step 3: Sending the Request

Here's an example using curl:

curl --request POST \
     --url https://tinq.ai/api/v2/extract-article \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "extract_url": "https://example.com/your-article-url"
}
'

Step 4: Processing the Response

The API will return a JSON object containing:

  • Article title
  • Main text content
  • Top image
  • Canonical link
  • Domain
  • Links within the article
  • Open Graph metadata
  • Keywords and tags
  • Images and videos

Here's a snippet of what the response might look like:

{
  "article": {
    "title": "Your Article Title",
    "top_image": {},
    "canonical_link": "https://example.com/your-article-url",
    "domain": "example.com",
    "article": "The main text content goes here...",
    "links": [
      {
        "url": "https://example.com/related-link",
        "text": "Related article"
      }
    ],
    // ... more fields ...
  },
  "usage": {
    "requests_left": 9903,
    "credits_left": 102000
  },
  "errors": [],
  "success": true,
  "status_code": 200
}

Part 2: Using the Tinq.ai Article Extractor Web Interface

For those who prefer a graphical interface or want to quickly extract content without coding, Tinq.ai provides a user-friendly web interface.

Step 1: Accessing the Interface


Navigate to the Tinq.ai Article Extractor page (you may need to log in to your account).

Step 2: Entering the URL

Locate the URL input field at the top of the page. It's clearly marked and typically the most prominent feature on the interface.

Step 3: Initiating Extraction

Enter the URL of the article you wish to extract and click the "EXTRACT" button. This will start the extraction process.

Step 4: Reviewing Extracted Content

The interface will display the extracted content in several sections:

  1. Text Output: This is the main body of the article, stripped of HTML and formatting.
  2. Links: A list of hyperlinks found within the article.
  3. Images: Thumbnails of images extracted from the webpage.

Step 5: Accessing Full JSON Output

For a complete view of all extracted data, including metadata, click on the "JSON" tab. This will show you the full API response, which can be useful for more detailed analysis or debugging.
