Rzeczpospolita Scraper

Extract full article text or the newest headlines from Rzeczpospolita (rp.pl), one of Poland's leading daily broadsheets — no account or subscription needed for open-access articles.

Why use this actor

• Full article text included, not just a summary — headline, description, byline(s), publish/modified dates, keywords, reconstructed into clean paragraphs
• Automatically filters out "Czytaj więcej" (read-more) related-article widgets embedded inline in the article body
• Reports each article's paywall status (isAccessibleForFree + subscription tier) so you can separate free from premium content downstream
• Also fetches the newest headlines from the site's Google News sitemap without visiting each article individually
• Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, spreadsheets, or databases
• Automatic retries on temporary network hiccups

How it works

1. Give the actor one or more article URLs, or switch to "latest" mode to get the newest stories automatically.
2. In article mode, the actor opens each URL and pulls out the full text and every publicly available detail about the story.
3. In latest mode, the actor reads the site's Google News sitemap and returns the newest stories.
4. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't need to manage retries, rate limits, or figure out the site's internal data format — the actor handles all of that.

_input	string	The URL you requested, or "latest", for traceability.
_source	string	Which strategy produced this record.
_scrapedAt	string	UTC timestamp of when the record was captured.
headline / title	string	Article headline.
articleBody	string	Full plain-text article content (article mode only).

isAccessibleForFree	boolean	Raw upstream paywall-metering flag (article mode only).

A record with _error instead of article fields means that URL could not be processed (for example, "_error": "not_found" for a removed article).

A note on the paywall

Rzeczpospolita runs a metered paywall (isAccessibleForFree in the article data). Samples used to build this actor were all free-tier ("dostęp podstawowy"); the actor surfaces the flag and subscription-tier name rather than guessing, so downstream consumers can filter premium content themselves. Whatever text is present in the page HTML is returned as-is (raw passthrough) — no attempt is made to bypass or detect truncated premium bodies beyond reporting the flag.
