Show HN: Link.fish – API to extract data from websites as JSON

Re:Show HN: Link.fish – API to extract data from websites as... by laktek on Thursday November 02, 2017 @02:27PM (#15612952)

Nice work! I also built something very similar called Page.REST (Show HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15189099)

Page.REST supports extracting contents using CSS selectors. oEmbed and OpenGraph tags. Also, do you plan to support extracting from client-side rendered pages (a la React)?

BTW, I'm interested how you decided the pricing? I went with a $5 one time fee as most people use such tools for ad-hoc purposes.

General question to readers: What do you think of the Schema.org format? Is it easy to consume? (from a language library perspective)

Thanks, dito!

Is actually already supported when a special parameter is set(on the API-Test-Box on the landing page it is not set).

About the pricing. Was a longer process. Mainly involved what other similar services charge and much more important a price which makes the service viable in the long term.

Do you support authenticated calls? (you mention "public urls" but I do not if this means "on Internet" (as opposed to a pivate IP space) or "non-authenicated")

I will be launching authenticated requests soon. Would you like to get early access? drop me an email (contact details are on profile)

PS: I'd appreciate if you can become an early adopter of the service. That helps me to scale fast :)
