Overview

The V3 API introduces backend web scraping capabilities to the SummerizerApp, enabling the Android app to send article URLs and receive streamed summarizations without handling web scraping client-side.

Key Goals:

• Move web scraping from Android app to backend
• Solve JavaScript rendering, performance, and anti-scraping issues
• Maintain HuggingFace Spaces deployment compatibility (<600MB memory)
• Provide consistent, high-quality article extraction
• Enable caching for improved performance

---

Motivation

Current Pain Points (Client-Side Scraping)

1. Performance Issues

• Mobile devices have limited CPU/network resources
• Scraping takes 5-15 seconds on mobile
• High battery drain
• Excessive data usage (downloads full HTML + assets)

2. JavaScript Rendering

• Many modern sites require JavaScript execution
• Mobile webviews inconsistent across Android versions
• Hard to debug rendering issues

3. Inconsistent Extraction

• Different sites have different structures
• Custom parsing logic needed per site
• Quality varies significantly

4. Anti-Scraping Measures

• Mobile IPs easily identified and blocked
• Limited control over user-agents and headers
• Rate limiting hard to implement per-device

Benefits of Backend Scraping

Aspect	Client-Side	Backend (V3)
Performance	5-15s	2-5s
Battery Impact	High	None
Data Usage	Full page	Summary only
Success Rate	60-70%	95%+
Maintenance	App updates	Instant server updates
Caching	Per-device	Shared across users
Anti-Scraping	Easily blocked	Sophisticated rotation

Technology Stack

Primary Stack (Always Enabled):

• Trafilatura - Article extraction (F1 score: 0.958)
• httpx - Async HTTP client (already in stack)
• lxml - Fast HTML parsing
• In-Memory Cache - TTL-based caching

Optional Stack (Enterprise/Local Only):

• Playwright - JavaScript rendering fallback (NOT for HF Spaces)

Request Flow

1. Android App → POST /api/v3/scrape-and-summarize/stream
   ↓
2. Middleware: Request ID tracking, CORS, timing
   ↓
3. V3 Route Handler: Schema validation
   ↓
4. Check Cache: URL already scraped recently?
   ├─ YES → Use cached content (skip to step 8)
   └─ NO  → Continue to step 5
   ↓
5. ArticleScraperService.scrape_article(url)
   ├─ Generate random user-agent & headers
   ├─ Fetch HTML with httpx (timeout: 10s)
   ├─ Extract with trafilatura
   ├─ Validate content quality (length, structure)
   └─ Extract metadata (title, author, date)
   ↓
6. Validation: Content length > 100 chars?
   ├─ YES → Continue
   └─ NO  → Return 422 error
   ↓
7. Cache: Store scraped content (TTL: 1 hour)
   ↓
8. HFStreamingSummarizer.summarize_text_stream()
   └─ Reuse existing V2 logic
   ↓
9. Stream Response: Server-Sent Events
   ├─ metadata event (title, scrape_latency)
   ├─ content chunks (tokens streaming)
   └─ done event (total_latency)

Component Specifications

1. Article Scraper Service

File: app/services/article_scraper.py

Responsibilities:

• Fetch HTML from URLs
• Extract article content with trafilatura
• Rotate user-agents to avoid blocks
• Extract metadata (title, author, date, site_name)
• Validate content quality
• Handle errors gracefully

Key Methods:

class ArticleScraperService:
    async def scrape_article(
        self,
        url: str,
        use_cache: bool = True
    ) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """
        Scrape article content from URL.

        Returns:
            {
                'text': str,           # Extracted article text
                'title': str,          # Article title
                'author': str,         # Author name (if available)
                'date': str,           # Publication date (if available)
                'site_name': str,      # Website name
                'url': str,            # Original URL
                'method': str,         # 'static' or 'js_rendered'
                'scrape_time_ms': float
            }
        """
        pass

    def _get_random_headers(self) -> Dict[str, str]:
        """Generate realistic browser headers with random user-agent."""
        pass

    def _validate_content_quality(self, text: str) -> bool:
        """Check if extracted content meets quality threshold."""
        pass

Dependencies:

• trafilatura - Article extraction
• httpx - Async HTTP requests
• lxml - HTML parsing

---

2. Caching Layer

File: app/core/cache.py

Responsibilities:

• Store scraped content in memory
• TTL-based expiration (default: 1 hour)
• URL-based key hashing
• Auto-cleanup of expired entries
• Cache statistics logging

Key Methods:

class SimpleCache:
    def __init__(self, ttl_seconds: int = 3600):
        """Initialize cache with TTL in seconds."""
        pass

    def get(self, url: str) -> Optional[Dict]:
        """Get cached content for URL, None if not found/expired."""
        pass

    def set(self, url: str, data: Dict) -> None:
        """Cache content with TTL."""
        pass

    def clear_expired(self) -> int:
        """Remove expired entries, return count removed."""
        pass

    def stats(self) -> Dict[str, int]:
        """Return cache statistics (size, hits, misses)."""
        pass

Why In-Memory Cache?

• Zero additional dependencies
• No external services needed
• Fast (sub-millisecond access)
• Perfect for single-instance HF Spaces deployment
• Simple to implement and maintain

Deployment Considerations

HuggingFace Spaces (Primary Deployment)

Dockerfile Updates:

# Add V3 dependencies
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir \
    trafilatura>=1.8.0,<2.0.0 \
    lxml>=5.0.0,<6.0.0 \
    charset-normalizer>=3.0.0,<4.0.0

Environment Variables:

# HF Spaces environment variables
ENABLE_V1_WARMUP=false
ENABLE_V2_WARMUP=true
ENABLE_V3_SCRAPING=true
SCRAPING_CACHE_ENABLED=true
SCRAPING_CACHE_TTL=3600
SCRAPING_TIMEOUT=10

Resource Impact:

• Memory: +10-50MB (total: ~550MB)
• Docker image: +5-10MB (total: ~1.01GB)
• CPU: Negligible (trafilatura is efficient)

Expected Performance:

• Scraping latency: 200-500ms
• Cache hit latency: <10ms
• Total request latency: 2-5s (scrape + summarize)

Alternative Deployments (Railway, Cloud Run, ECS)

Optional: Enable Redis Caching

# requirements-redis.txt
redis>=5.0.0,<6.0.0

# app/core/cache.py
class RedisCache:
    def __init__(self, redis_url: str):
        self.redis = redis.from_url(redis_url)

    async def get(self, url: str):
        key = f"scrape:{hashlib.md5(url.encode()).hexdigest()}"
        data = await self.redis.get(key)
        return json.loads(data) if data else None

    async def set(self, url: str, data: dict, ttl: int = 3600):
        key = f"scrape:{hashlib.md5(url.encode()).hexdigest()}"
        await self.redis.setex(key, ttl, json.dumps(data))

Configuration:

# app/core/config.py
redis_url: Optional[str] = Field(None, env="REDIS_URL")
use_redis_cache: bool = Field(default=False, env="USE_REDIS_CACHE")

Monitoring & Observability

Recommended Metrics:

# Log important events
logger.info(f"Scraping started: {url}")
logger.info(f"Cache hit: {url}")
logger.info(f"Scraping completed in {latency_ms}ms")
logger.warning(f"Scraping quality low: {url} - {reason}")
logger.error(f"Scraping failed: {url} - {error}")

# Track in response headers
"X-Cache-Status": "HIT" | "MISS"
"X-Scrape-Latency-Ms": "450.2"
"X-Scrape-Method": "static" | "js_rendered"

Performance Benchmarks

Expected Performance (HF Spaces)

Metric	Target	Typical
Scraping Latency	<1s	200-500ms
Cache Hit Latency	<50ms	5-10ms
Summarization Latency	<5s	2-4s
Total Latency (cache miss)	<6s	3-5s
Total Latency (cache hit)	<5s	2-4s
Success Rate	>90%	95%+
Memory Usage	<600MB	~550MB

Scalability

Single Instance (HF Spaces):

• Concurrent requests: 10-20
• Requests per minute: 100-200
• Requests per day: 10,000-20,000

Bottlenecks:

• Network I/O (external site scraping)
• HF model inference (existing V2 bottleneck)
• Memory (minimal impact from V3)

Scaling Strategy:

• Vertical: Upgrade to HF Pro Spaces (2x resources)
• Horizontal: Deploy to Railway/Cloud Run with multiple instances
• Caching: Add Redis for distributed cache (30%+ hit rate expected)

---

Future Enhancements

Phase 2: Advanced Features (Optional)

1. JavaScript Rendering (Enterprise/Local Only)

• Add Playwright support for JS-heavy sites
• Create separate Docker image (Dockerfile.full)
• Add /api/v3/scrape-and-summarize/stream?force_js_render=true parameter
• NOT for HF Spaces (too resource-intensive)

2. Content Preprocessing

• Remove boilerplate (ads, navigation) more aggressively
• Extract main images
• Detect article language
• Chunk very long articles intelligently

3. Enhanced Metadata

• Extract featured image URL
• Detect article category/tags
• Estimate reading time
• Extract related article links

4. Quality Scoring

• Score extraction quality (0-100)
• Provide confidence level
• Suggest JS rendering if quality low

5. Batch Scraping

• Accept multiple URLs in single request
• Return summaries for each
• Optimize with parallel scraping

6. Robots.txt Compliance

• Check robots.txt before scraping
• Respect crawl-delay directives
• Return 403 if disallowed

7. Advanced Caching

• Redis for distributed cache
• Cache warming (pre-fetch popular articles)
• Intelligent cache invalidation
• Cache hit rate tracking

8. Analytics Dashboard

• Track scraping success/failure rates
• Monitor latency percentiles
• Domain-specific metrics
• Cache hit rate visualization

---

Security Considerations

1. SSRF Protection

Problem: Users could provide internal URLs (localhost, 192.168.x.x) to scrape internal services.

Solution:

@validator('url')
def validate_url(cls, v):
    from urllib.parse import urlparse

    # Block localhost
    if 'localhost' in v.lower() or '127.0.0.1' in v:
        raise ValueError('Cannot scrape localhost')

    # Block private IP ranges
    parsed = urlparse(v)
    hostname = parsed.hostname
    if hostname:
        # Check for private IP ranges
        if hostname.startswith('10.') or \
           hostname.startswith('192.168.') or \
           hostname.startswith('172.'):
            raise ValueError('Cannot scrape private IP addresses')

    return v

2. Rate Limiting

• Per-IP rate limiting (10 req/min default)
• Per-domain rate limiting (10 req/min per domain)
• Global rate limiting (100 req/min total)

3. Input Validation

• URL format validation
• URL length limits (<2000 chars)
• Whitelist URL schemes (http, https only)
• Reject data URLs, file URLs, etc.

4. Resource Limits

• Max scraping timeout: 60s
• Max text length: 50,000 chars
• Max cache size: 1000 entries
• Auto-cleanup of expired cache entries
