Ars Technica Full Articles?

[ghost]

Has anyone figured out how to get the full articles from Ars Technica's feeds?

I'm able to get the first page of an article just by using selectors in FreshRSS, but that can sometimes mean I'm missing out on 5+ pages of article.

I wouldn't mind just loading the Ars website, but it always tries to autoplay videos on mobile which can absolutely murder bandwidth...

If anyone is curious about my selectors in FreshRSS:

• Article CSS selector on original website --> article
• CSS selector of the elements to remove --> aside, footer, .article-author, .xrail, #social-footer, #article-footer-wrap

It's not perfect, but it's still been mostly adequate.

I'm missing out on 5+ pages of article

Any example URL to an article that has more than 5 pages of content? All the articles I'm seeing on the site have only one page of content.

That's because when you use the site now, they autoload the next page. If you query manually, though, it's paginated. The post "The sleeper hits of Summer Game Fest 2023", for instance, has 4 pages.

mhh, when loading your example source link in Firefox, I got the whole article. No paging at all

EDIT:
The paging is only active, when comments are activated

Yeah maybe you missed #3440 (comment). But its because the site uses JavaScript to "auto load" the pages so you never see the pagination at the bottom. If you disable JavaScript you'll see the page numbers at the bottom of the article.

so you might try http://ftr.fivefilters.org/ - this is loading the compleete article

or using their site_config as an inspiration for rss-bridge:

next_page_link: //nav//a[contains(text(), 'Next')]/@href
next_page_link: //span[@class='numbers']//a/span[@class='next']/..
next_page_link: //nav//a/span[contains(text(), 'Next')]/../@href
