} Why teams use it
Cleaner input for prompts
Navigation menus, scripts, advertisements and layout HTML are removed before the page reaches your model.
More manageable context
Token-efficient output means prompts and AI contexts spend their token limits on page content, not raw HTML.
Easier ingestion into retrieval workflows
Headings, lists, code blocks and links survive the conversion, ready for indexing in vector databases or search engines.
How it works
- 1
Add a URL
Put the full page URL, including https://, in the request body.
- 2
Request Markdown
Set markdown=true. Turn on browser rendering for pages that load their content with JavaScript.
- 3
Review the extracted page
The markdown field of the response holds the converted page, next to the raw html.
- 4
Send it to an AI or search workflow
Pass the Markdown to an AI prompt, a RAG pipeline or a document store.
Example use cases
RAG knowledge ingestion
Convert documentation hubs, help centers and technical guides into Markdown for indexing in a vector database.
AI-agent research
Give autonomous AI agents clean, structured context while they navigate documentation or research online sources.
Documentation and article processing
Pull external articles and blog posts into a CMS, Notion or an internal wiki in ready-to-render Markdown.
Markdown FAQ
Answered from the product documentation.
What does the Markdown conversion remove from a page?
Navigation menus, scripts, advertisements and layout HTML are stripped. Semantic structures such as headings, lists, code blocks and links are preserved.
How do I turn on Markdown conversion?
Set markdown to true on the request. It is required for this use case, and the converted page comes back in the markdown field of the JSON response.
Can I convert pages that load their content with JavaScript?
Yes. Set browserRendering to true to render the page in a real Chromium browser first. It is off by default and is required for JavaScript-heavy sites, SPAs and pages that load content dynamically.
Does the Markdown response still include the HTML?
Yes. Alongside the markdown field, the JSON response carries the raw html of the page, an error field and the token usage of the request.
How do I cap the tokens a Markdown scrape can use?
Add tokenCap to the request body. Automatic retries are bounded by the cap, so the total tokens for a single run stay at or below the value you set. maxRetries limits how many retries run.
