Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://gateway.d402.xyz/v1/web/extract-articleWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured article metadata (title, author, date, summary) alongside clean markdown body text from a public article, news, or blog URL. Prefer it over a generic page-to-markdown endpoint when you need the semantic metadata fields extracted and structured, not just raw markdown. Use it over web.render_snapshot when you need readable text rather than a visual render.
Side effects
- URL is behind a paywall or requires login — extraction fails or returns partial content
- URL points to a non-article page (homepage, search results) — metadata fields may be null
- Request timeout exceeded (up to 45000ms) — returns error status
- Invalid or malformed URL — rejected with validation error
- Page is JavaScript-heavy and content cannot be fetched — bodyMarkdown may be empty
- Insufficient USDC payment — transaction rejected before extraction begins
