CAPABILITY PROFILE
What the Diffbot integration exposes
The Diffbot Agent App exposes 1 provider-backed actions for data and ai work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent extract article content and metadata from a public url using diffbot article api. These operations are called through Working Machines as typed capabilities rather than through browser navigation or copied UI steps.
A connection uses API key. Before execution, the agent can inspect the selected action, its required fields, declared scopes, and expected output contract. Provider credentials remain inside the Working Machines runtime; the calling agent receives the capability and its structured result, not the underlying secret.
For reliable operation, start with the narrowest action that satisfies the task, resolve stable provider identifiers before changing state, and validate the returned object or status after execution. Availability still depends on the connected Diffbot account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.
VERIFIED ACTION SAMPLE
Real Diffbot capabilities.
Showing 1 of 1 actions. Risk labels are conservative signals based on operation names, not substitutes for provider documentation or runtime policy.
extract_articleREVIEWExtract article content and metadata from a public URL using Diffbot Article API.
INPUTS: url / fields / timeout / renderDelay / scroll
INPUT CONTRACTS
Know what the action needs before it runs.
extract_article
urlREQUIRED- The public article URL to extract with Diffbot.
fieldsOPTIONAL- Optional Diffbot article fields to include in the response.
timeoutOPTIONAL- The upstream page retrieval timeout in milliseconds.
renderDelayOPTIONAL- The extra delay in milliseconds before extraction.
scrollOPTIONAL- The scrolling mode Diffbot should use to trigger lazy-loaded content.
PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS
Jobs this Agent App can support
Inspect Extract Article
Extract article content and metadata from a public URL using Diffbot Article API. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.
extract_articleVerify with Extract Article
Extract article content and metadata from a public URL using Diffbot Article API. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.
extract_articleSAFETY BOUNDARY
Operate Diffbot with explicit limits
- Authorize Diffbot with API key and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
- The current action names appear read-oriented, but returned Diffbot data may still be sensitive and should be minimized before it enters model context.
- Do not infer permission from catalog visibility. Workspace policy, connection identity, and upstream authorization still govern execution.
- No provider scope string is declared on the sampled actions. Verify the connected account's actual permissions in Diffbot rather than assuming unrestricted access.
- After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the Diffbot task completed successfully.
CONNECTION MODEL
API key
Diffbot API token sent with the token query parameter. Copy it from the account menu in the Diffbot app.
Working Machines stores provider credentials behind the execution boundary. An agent can use an authorized connection identity, but catalog discovery alone does not reveal OAuth tokens, API keys, or provider secrets.

EVIDENCE AND AVAILABILITY
Provider reference
Action names, input fields, authentication types, and counts on this page are generated from the Working Machines provider catalog. Provider behavior, quotas, object semantics, account eligibility, and regional availability remain governed by Diffbot.
