How this service works
Web reads and change checks: $0.005 on Base, $0.01 on Algorand; digital PDF-to-text $0.01. Structured JSON, hashes and x402 USDC. No API key.
Output
A JSON object with: ok (boolean success flag), url (requested URL), text (clean extracted page text up to max_chars), title (HTML page title), final_url (URL after redirects), fetched_at (ISO 8601 timestamp), text_sha256 (SHA-256 hex digest of the returned text), and javascript_rendered (always false — no JS execution). Failed reads are not charged.
Example use cases
News article ingestion for RAG
“Pull the clean text and title from https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/openai-gpt5-launch/ and give me up to 20000 characters so I can store it in my knowledge base.”
Competitor pricing page snapshot
“Fetch https://www.competitor.com/pricing and extract all the readable text — I want the title, the full page text, and a SHA-256 hash so I can tell if the pricing changes later.”
Research brief from a government report
“Read https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm and return the clean page text, up to 40000 characters, so I can summarize the latest flu surveillance data.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.agentwork.run/v1/web/readWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a clean, text-faithful snapshot of a public static webpage — especially for RAG ingestion, research, or content hashing — and you do not need JavaScript rendering or authentication bypass. It is ideal when you want a verifiable SHA-256 fingerprint of page content (e.g. for change detection workflows) and when you want pay-per-call with no API key or account setup. Prefer alternatives if the page requires JavaScript to render content, is behind a paywall, or if you need structured HTML rather than clean plain text.
Side effects
- URL resolves to a private/non-routable IP — request rejected
- Page blocked by robots.txt — returns error, not charged
- URL returns non-HTML/non-text content type (e.g. binary file) — not parsed
- Network timeout or DNS failure — read fails, no charge
- Paywalled or login-required pages return only the visible gated content, not full article
- JavaScript-rendered content not visible — static HTML only
- Port other than 80/443 — rejected
- max_chars below 1000 or above 60000 — validation error
