Frequently asked questions about the Diffbot MCP Server

Can my agent automatically identify what kind of page a URL points to?

Yes. Use the 'analyze_page' tool. Diffbot uses ML to classify the URL as an article, product, image, video, or list, and returns the appropriate structured JSON payload automatically.

How do I extract only the main text from a blog post without comments?

Use the 'extract_article' tool and set the 'discussion' parameter to 'false'. The agent will retrieve the clean text and HTML body while explicitly ignoring any forum threads or review blocks on the page.

Can I use custom extraction rules I've defined in my Diffbot dashboard?

Absolutely. Use the 'extract_custom_api' tool. Provide your trained 'api_name' and the target URL. Diffbot will extract the data according to your specific structural ruleset natively.
