Extract posts and pages from any WordPress site as clean plain text, with authors, categories, tags and dates. Built for LLM training data, RAG corpora, content migration and competitive research.
WordPress runs a large share of the web, and almost all of it exposes a public REST API. This Actor uses it directly. No HTML parsing, no broken selectors when a theme changes, no login. Paste a URL and go.
What you get
| Field | Description |
|---|---|

publishedAt / modifiedAt | UTC timestamps |
author | Resolved author name |
excerpt | Plain-text excerpt |
content | Full article body as clean plain text |
wordCount | Words in the body |
categories / tags | Taxonomy names, not IDs |
featuredImage | Image URL |
commentCount | Comments, where exposed |
site | Source site |
scrapedAt | ISO timestamp |
Why the output is different
Plain text, not HTML. Most WordPress scrapers hand back content.rendered, which is raw HTML full of blocks, shortcodes and inline styles. Feeding that to a model wastes tokens on markup. This one strips it properly, including entity decoding, so records drop straight into a vector store.
Authors actually resolve. Sites handle authorship in different ways: some embed it, some expose Yoast metadata, some use Co-Authors Plus, some block the /users endpoint entirely. This Actor tries all four, so you get a name where other scrapers return null.
Category and tag names, not IDs. A number like 17 is useless without a second lookup. This returns ["Education"].
Filters
- Content type — posts or pages
- Search query — only matching content
- Category slug — one category, resolved to its ID for you
- Published after — a date cutoff for incremental runs
- Max items — caps the run so cost is predictable

Notes
- Uses only the public, unauthenticated WordPress REST API. No login, no private content.
- Retries with backoff on rate limits and reports clearly when a site has the REST API disabled.
- Pages are kept small deliberately, because embedded author and media data makes large pages time out on big sites.
- Works on self-hosted WordPress and on WordPress.com sites that expose the REST API.
