How this service works
POST a URL, get back the page's cleaned readable text as JSON. Built for AI agents. POST /read costs $0.005 USDC per call on Base via the x402 protocol.
Output
A JSON object containing the cleaned, readable text extracted from the target webpage — HTML tags, navigation, ads, and other boilerplate removed, leaving the core readable content suitable for AI processing.
Example use cases
AI research assistant reading articles
“Pull the full readable text from this news article at https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/openai-latest-update so I can summarize what it says.”
Competitive intelligence content extraction
“Grab the clean text from our competitor's pricing page at https://competitor.com/pricing so I can analyze what plans they're offering.”
Automated document ingestion pipeline
“I need you to read the text content from https://docs.example.com/guide and extract everything on the page so I can index it in our knowledge base.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://readr.hatchagent.workers.dev/read?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need clean, readable text from a single URL for AI processing and want a purpose-built, agent-friendly API rather than a general-purpose scraper. Ideal when you need minimal noise (no HTML boilerplate) and are building on the x402 micropayment protocol on Base. Best for one-shot URL-to-text conversions where structured data extraction is not needed.
Side effects
- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — endpoint may return an error or empty content
- Paywalled or login-gated pages may return only partial or gated content
- Pages that are JavaScript-rendered SPAs may not yield full content if JS execution is limited
- Invalid or malformed URL input returns a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before content is returned
