Is there a way to extract a top image from an article? #57

Closed ArturasDruteika closed 9 months ago

ArturasDruteika commented 3 years ago 
article_trafilatura = trafilatura.bare_extraction(trafilatura.fetch_url(url), include_images=True)

When I set include_images=True, I get article src, but it seems to miss the top article image src. Is it meant to be this way or is it still not implemented or am I doing something wrong? I have tried passing different urls from different websites but still I cannot find a way how to extract that image.

Hi, trafilatura is optimized for text retrieval, if the images you're looking for are not within the main text they will not be displayed in the processed document. Can you please give me an example of a webpage where the top image is missing?

ArturasDruteika commented 3 years ago

@adbar Fox example this article: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/08/uk/meghan-harry-oprah-interview-recap-scli-gbr-intl/index.html. Maybe I am missing something but aren't all the article photos inside the main text frame?

Thanks for the input, this is indeed a bug, I'll look into it. Do you have other similar examples?

Hi @phongtnit, the SCMP article you mention is a different bug, I opened another thread.

The second link above and the others mentioned earlier are now fixed in a4d0bd1dc903d79b812f897d9e7cfe07ba6550f6. @phongtnit @ArturasDruteika @AliaHamwi

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I have several examples where it fails to fetch images:

  1. https://openstax.org/books/anatomy-and-physiology/pages/6-1-the-functions-of-the-skeletal-system#fig-ch06_01_04
  2. https://openstax.org/books/anatomy-and-physiology/pages/1-1-overview-of-anatomy-and-physiology

Basically, all images on that domain seem to get missed on the output XML

adbar commented 1 year ago

Hi @pranav-profjim, images are not my priority but I reopen the thread and will have a look at your cases later.

<p><img src="/assets/dashboard_apikeys.fff14e02.jpg" alt="API Keys"></p> test page: https://docs.aiproxy.io/guide/quick-start This type of link also cannot be resolved, is it possible to fix it, or can you provide suggestions for improvement?

adbar commented 1 year ago

@pofey Images are not my priority, I'm not sure how to fix it but let's keep the issue open to have a look at it.
