How this service works
Token-efficient web reader for AI agents. URL in, clean boilerplate-free article markdown out with a token count header — typically 10-30x fewer tokens than raw HTML. Paid per call via x402 (USDC on Base mainnet), no accounts, no API keys. Free /demo endpoint returns a truncated sample.
Output
A JSON object containing the source URL, number of pages, document title, full markdown-formatted text of the PDF, and a token estimate — typically 10-30x fewer tokens than the equivalent raw HTML or binary PDF content.
Example use cases
Research paper ingestion for agents
“Grab the full text of this arXiv paper as clean markdown so I can analyze it: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06825.pdf”
Legal document text extraction
“Extract the readable text from this contract PDF so I can search through its clauses: https://example.com/agreements/terms2024.pdf”
Financial report summarization
“Pull the text out of this annual report PDF so I can summarize the key financial figures: https://company.com/reports/annual2023.pdf”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://read.onlybots.shop/read-pdf?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to extract readable text from a PDF document hosted at a public URL and want a token-efficient markdown output suitable for AI agent consumption. It is ideal when you want to avoid managing API keys or subscriptions and are comfortable with per-call USDC micropayments. Prefer this over general web scrapers when the target is specifically a PDF file rather than an HTML page.
Side effects
- Invalid or inaccessible PDF URL returns an error response
- Non-PDF URLs may fail or return unexpected content
- Very large PDFs may exceed processing limits or return truncated content
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents access
- Network timeouts if the source PDF server is slow to respond
