Click "Read Free." The complete article appears on this page in seconds — formatted cleanly for easy reading.

Why Do Axios Articles Require an Account?

Axios uses a registration wall — a prompt that asks you to create a free account before reading certain articles. Unlike a hard paywall, the content is technically on the page, but it's hidden until you log in. Axios uses this system to grow its email subscriber base and targeted advertising reach.

OpenArticle works by retrieving the page through a real browser session, removing the registration wall mechanism, and delivering the full article text directly to you. No login required, no email address needed.

Read Axios Without Subscribing

If you only occasionally read Axios — for a breaking news story, a policy briefing, or a tip from a colleague — creating an account just to read one article is frustrating. OpenArticle is built for exactly that use case: instant, one-click access to any Axios article, without committing to a subscription or handing over your email.

OpenArticle works with Axios Pro, Axios Local, and standard Axios articles. Simply paste the link and read.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about reading Axios articles for free.

How do I read Axios articles without subscribing?

Copy the URL of the Axios article (from your browser address bar), paste it into the search box on OpenArticle, and click "Read Free." The full article appears in 10–20 seconds — no account or subscription required.

Is OpenArticle completely free?

Yes. OpenArticle is free to use with no limits. There is no premium tier, no sign-up, no credit card, and no subscription — ever.

Why does Axios ask me to create an account?

Axios uses a registration wall to collect email addresses for its newsletter and to enable targeted advertising. The article content is on the page, but hidden behind a login prompt. OpenArticle bypasses this mechanism so you can read the content directly.

Does OpenArticle work on mobile?

Yes. OpenArticle works on any device with a web browser — iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop. No app download required.

How long does it take to load an article?

Most Axios articles load in 10–20 seconds. The page needs to be fully rendered by a browser before the content can be extracted, which takes a moment. Subsequent reads may be faster.

Does it work for all Axios articles?

OpenArticle works for the vast majority of Axios articles, including Axios Pro and Axios Local. Occasionally a specific article may not extract correctly — if that happens, try again or check back shortly.

Is this legal?

OpenArticle retrieves publicly available content for personal reading use, similar to how a browser caches or how reader mode extensions work. It is intended for personal, non-commercial use only. OpenArticle is not affiliated with or endorsed by Axios.
