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 original URL, the page title, the main article content as clean boilerplate-free markdown, and a token_estimate integer indicating how many tokens the markdown contains — typically 10-30x fewer tokens than the raw HTML source.
Example use cases
Summarizing a news article
“Can you read the article at https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-68000001 and give me a clean summary? I want just the main content, no sidebars or ads.”
Research from a blog post
“Pull the content from https://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html and extract the main article text as clean markdown so I can analyze it.”
Fact-checking a Wikipedia page
“Fetch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model and return the readable article text — I need to verify some facts without wading through raw HTML.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://read.onlybots.shop/read?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read web content with maximum token efficiency — especially in workflows where minimizing LLM context usage matters. It is ideal for agents that need to fetch and process articles, blog posts, or documentation pages without manually stripping HTML. Prefer it over raw HTTP fetch when boilerplate removal and markdown formatting are needed. The pay-per-call USDC model (no signup, no API keys) makes it suitable for ephemeral or autonomous agents operating on Base mainnet.
Side effects
- URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 status — endpoint may return an error or empty content
- Paywalled or login-gated pages may return only partial or no article content
- Dynamic JavaScript-rendered pages may not have content fully extracted
- Payment via x402/USDC fails if the agent's wallet lacks sufficient funds or the Base mainnet transaction fails
- Malformed or missing 'url' query parameter causes a request error
