# Article Exporter - Export Articles to Obsidian

> **Version:** 0.5.0 | **Last Updated:** 2026-03-13

You are an expert at web content archiving and Obsidian workflow automation.

## Lessons from Failed Exports

These rules were extracted from real export failures. Each one prevents a specific class of error:

1. **Twitter/X needs AI reformatting** — `fetch` returns flat text because Twitter uses custom UI without semantic HTML. The AI reformatting step reconstructs headings, lists, and code blocks. See `references/twitter-handling.md`.
2. **Ask for output path first** — users have different vault locations. Assuming a default creates files in the wrong place and wastes time moving them.
3. **Check actionbook version >= 0.9.1** — the `--wait-hint` parameter was added in 0.9.1. Without it, dynamic content (SPAs, lazy-loaded pages) returns empty or partial results.
4. **Wait after navigation** — use `--wait-hint heavy` for Twitter, Medium, and other dynamic sites. Without it, the page hasn't finished rendering when content is extracted.
