Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not really. I can Right Click -> Copy XPath in Firebug's element inspector then just Nokogiri::HTML(page_source).xpath('/blah') to get at it. You can do it with the CSS selector as well. :) Setting up a quick script to rip all the content from another site is trivial. There's also wget -m

I literally cannot get nokogiri set up on my Mac for love nor money, I'm a noob whose been trying for a week or two. Tried everything. Its preventing me from running tests. Damn xmllibs2.

Install MacPorts: http://www.macports.org

Add /opt/local/bin to your PATH (bashrc or zshrc or whatever you use).

sudo port install libxml2 and sudo port install libxslt

Then sudo gem install nokogiri --no-rdoc --no-ri should run with no issues. That's all I had to do for the system ruby (1.8.7 on OSX 10.6) and 1.9.2 via rvm.

Do you have XCode installed? Nokogiri is a native extension, I don't think you can build them without the compiler tools installed.

This is nice but what's the difference from ViewText ( http://www.viewtext.org )? ViewText has a JSONP API, which made it perfect for building into a recent little project I did (it was a web app). Plus, it's been around for a lot longer.

Just tried viewtext on lifehacker's feed and got:

"We understand you'd like to delete your account. If you delete your account all of your information including your comments, messages, posts, and friends and followers associations will be removed from our system. Please consider the following options before clicking delete."

Yikes! =X

A similar service: http://fivefilters.org/content-only/ and it is opensource too. It uses a PHP version of readability to extract the full content. Also can the author of fulltextrssfeed.com explain some of the implementation details? I was planning on a similar project with node.js, jsdom and readability.

Give the full feeds that Lifehacker (et al) already offer: http://lifehacker.com/vip.xml (this article to it came up in a google search - http://lifehacker.com/5489210/)!

(also, that needs to be fixed asap, lest anyone get the wrong idea)

Does this work for anybody? I've plugged in 3 feeds, one was "unable to retrieve full-text content" (an sfgate.com feed) and the other two returned nothing at all in the preview (one a feed from kqed.org, the other an older wordpress blog).

The preview for Lifehacker returned nothing at all, but adding the feed to Google Reader worked as advertised. I guess, don't rely on the preview box.

This may be common knowledge, but all gawker blogs are available in full feed, ad free form at .com/vip.xml

i.e. http://lifehacker.com/vip.xml
