Not returning any results for article on a particular website

Ok so TechCrunch works fine and most of the famous ones as well.

But for example this article is returning no text: https://www.netokracija.rs/startech-2024-217152

And this is taking too long: https://www.netokracija.rs/garaza-open-source-documentation-218678

Here's another one job: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/d43yXragnqMqyK4CD

I've removed "what is an article" JSON, it had number of dashes and date set. But still nothing. The job above returns 1 word.

Hi, thanks for your patience.

The extractor is not perfect and sometimes struggles to locate all fields automatically, especially if the content has a non-standard structure.

There is a way to override the parser using the Extend Output Function field, like this:

1($) => {
2    const result = {};
3    result.text = $('.post__content').text();
4
5    return result;
6}

This should yield you the correct result for this website.
