Trafilatura is a Python package and command-line tool designed to gather text on the Web. It includes discovery, extraction and text-processing components. Its main applications are web crawling, downloads, scraping, and extraction of main texts, metadata and comments.

...Developers can use the software either as a standalone command line application or integrate it into their own Python applications through its library interface. Extracted article data can be stored in different formats and systems, including JSON files or database-backed storage solutions.
