How this service works
Read one known URL: the main article content as clean markdown with title, byline, excerpt and word count, boilerplate removed. Use it when an agent already has a URL and needs the text; for JavaScript-rendered pages that return an empty shell, use a browser render instead.
Output
Returns the article title, byline (author), excerpt, word count, and the full article body as clean markdown — stripped of navigation, ads, and other page boilerplate.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you pull the main article content from https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/01/technology/ai-agents.html and give it to me as clean markdown with the title and author?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agent402.tools/api/extractWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to extract readable article content from a public URL and want clean markdown output with structured metadata (title, byline, excerpt, word count). Ideal for agents that need to read, summarize, or process web articles without dealing with raw HTML parsing.
Side effects
- URL is not publicly accessible (paywalled, login-required) — extraction may fail or return incomplete content
- URL points to a non-article page (homepage, search results) — may return low-quality or empty content
- URL is malformed or unreachable — returns an error
- Dynamic JavaScript-rendered pages may not be fully extracted
- Rate limiting or network errors from the target site
