## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to fetch arbitrary web pages and get their content in clean, LLM-ready Markdown format — especially useful when feeding web content to language models for summarization, Q&A, or analysis. Prefer it over generic HTTP fetch tools when you need the content parsed and formatted rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Paywalled or login-gated pages may return partial or blocked content
- JavaScript-heavy SPAs may not render fully depending on the browsing agent's capabilities
- Invalid or malformed URL input causes a request error
- Rate limiting or payment issues may block the call
