Article Content Extractor is an Apify Actor that takes a batch of article URLs (up to 300 per run by default) and returns the title, author, publish date, excerpt and main body as Markdown or plain text, with optional CSV export. It is built for RAG and LLM ingest, research workflows and content-processing jobs, and works on public HTTP(S) pages only.
Run it from the Apify Console, the Apify API (the page has a Python example) or Apify MCP. Pricing is pay per use: from $8.00 per 1,000 useful article rows, with failed or no-content rows not billed. Optional add-ons are $2.50 per article content audit report and $5.00 per batch export. The page has a Try for free button but defines no free-tier limits.
Every RAG pipeline starts with a wall of boilerplate such as nav bars, ad slots and related-post widgets. This Actor was built to do one job: hand it a URL and get back the article content as clean text or Markdown.
