How this service works
Pay-per-call web and onchain utilities for AI agents (MPP + x402, USDC on Base).
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the extracted article URL, full clean text body, page title, byline (author), character length of the content, and a short excerpt summary. HTML, navigation, and boilerplate are stripped, leaving only the readable article content.
Example use cases
Summarize a news article
“Can you pull the full article text from https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-12345678 and give me a quick summary of what it's about?”
Research assistant web reading
“I need you to read the content at https://blog.example.com/state-of-ai-2024 and extract the key points — grab the title, author, and full text so you can analyze it.”
Fact-check a specific webpage
“Please fetch the text from https://www.reuters.com/article/some-story and tell me the main claims made in the article — I want the raw content, not a cached version.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://red-web-utils.agent-tools-x402.workers.dev/api/reader?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to extract clean, readable text from a specific web article or blog post URL without handling raw HTML parsing yourself. It is ideal for AI agents that need to summarize, analyze, or fact-check online articles, especially when you want structured metadata (title, byline, excerpt) alongside body text. Prefer this over generic HTTP fetch tools when you need parsed, human-readable content rather than raw HTML.
Side effects
- URL is paywalled or requires authentication — returns partial or no content
- URL points to a non-article page (e.g. homepage or search results) — minimal or empty text returned
- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — request fails with an error
- Dynamic JavaScript-rendered pages may not be fully extracted if content requires JS execution
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC — x402 payment required error returned
