Is there an API for Safari Reader?

问题:

Does Safari Reader have an API which one can use to filter the text from a webpage (cleans adverts, unneeded parts of text etc.) for an iOS app?

If not, are there any alternatives?

Nope. If you want access to the built-in one, you can file an enhancement request with the Apple bug reporter. There are also third-party services like Readability which, depending on the purpose of your app, you might be able to make use of.
