Recipe request: Longform
Hi,
Completely new to Calibre and have no coding knowledge. Was wondering if anyone had a ready recipe for Longform.org? The website is essentially a collection of links to articles, so was hoping that the recipe would be able to get the underlying articles from the Longform feed. Thanks! Ros |

the problem with aggregator sites like that is that the formatting of each article is different, so it is hard to write a single recipe to extract the content from all articles.

You might want to try a two step process to send each article to something like outline.com by prepending that to the url like https://outline.com/www.vanityfair.c...amantha-markle
This standardizes the format but takes a while sometimes, so you'd want a hefty timeout plus a check on the returned URL. |
