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
Returns the main article or page content as clean, boilerplate-free Markdown, stripped of navigation, ads, and HTML cruft. Includes a token count header so agents can budget context usage. Typically 10–30x fewer tokens than raw HTML.
Example use cases
Research article extraction for agent
“Grab the full article text from https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/some-story and give it to me as clean readable markdown — I need just the content, none of the nav or ads.”
Summarizing paywalled-looking news page
“Fetch the content from this URL https://www.wired.com/story/ai-agents-future and return the main article body in markdown so I can summarize it.”
Token-efficient content pipeline for LLM
“I'm building an agent that reads URLs before answering questions — fetch https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html and return the page content as compact markdown, I want the token count too so I can budget my context window.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://read.onlybots.shop/shotWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need token-efficient, agent-readable text from any public web URL without managing API keys or subscriptions. It is ideal for AI pipelines that need to read many pages cheaply (at $0.004/call) and want clean markdown rather than raw HTML. Prefer it over general-purpose scrapers when token budget matters, and over screenshot-based tools when you need structured text rather than visual output.
Side effects
- URL is not publicly accessible (e.g. behind a login wall or paywall) — returns empty or minimal content
- URL does not resolve or returns a non-200 HTTP status — endpoint returns an error
- Page is JavaScript-heavy SPA and content cannot be extracted statically — may return incomplete markdown
- Payment fails or USDC balance is insufficient — x402 payment required error, no content returned
- Invalid or malformed URL parameter — request rejected with parameter error
