URL to Markdown - Web Page Extract API

Read any web page and get it back as clean Markdown, plain text, or raw HTML. This is the read-a-page primitive: one URL in, page content out.

Extract is not a platform - it is a core endpoint. There is no namespace, no per-site parser and no site-specific parameters. It works on any http(s) URL.

When to trigger

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• Read, summarise, or quote a specific web page
• Turn a URL into Markdown or plain text for an LLM prompt or a RAG chunk
• Pull an article, docs page, changelog, pricing page or blog post into the conversation
• Fetch a page that blocked a plain HTTP request
• Grab the raw HTML of a page to parse it yourself

This is usually the right first tool whenever a user pastes a link and asks a question about what is on it.

Many pages from one site, or a long list of URLs? Do not loop this endpoint. Use the website-crawler-api skill: POST /api/v1/extract/map lists a site's URLs from its sitemap for 1 credit, POST /api/v1/extract/crawl crawls a whole site to Markdown as one job, and POST /api/v1/extract/batch extracts up to 1,000 URLs as one job, both billed per successful page at this same tier price.
