Brian Donohue from Instapaper here. Over the past few years we've gotten a significant number of requests from developers to have access to Instapaper's parser. Today we launched Instaparser, an API to access Instapaper's parser.

Instaparser is a paid service, but there's a free tier under https://www.instaparser.com/signup/trial that can be used for testing or just quick weekend hacks.

Personally, this is the first developer-focused product I've launched, and I'm very excited to get it out into the community and see what people will do with it.

This is cool. Fivefilters does something similar with their fulltextrss product. Despite the name, it also works for single pages, e.g. http://ftr.fivefilters.org/makefulltextfeed.php?url=http%3A%...

I haven't compared parsing quality.

Some time ago I would be madly looking for this. The prices are much much better than https://www.diffbot.com/pricing/

It's also a lot faster than Diffbot. We were using Diffbot at Instapaper before launching the new parser, and our total parsing time dropped an order of magnitude: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staticinstapaper/blog/par...
