How this service works
Pay-per-call web reading for agents: any public page as clean Markdown, link-preview/SEO metadata (Open Graph, Twitter card, favicon, JSON-LD), RSS/Atom/JSON feeds normalized, every link on a page (internal/external, rel) and a site's XML sitemap as a URL list. USDC via x402, no accounts or API keys; failed calls are never charged. Payments: x402 v2, scheme "exact", USDC on Base (eip155:8453). The payment is verified before the work and settled only when the response is 200. Terms: https://reader.scrapemole.workers.dev/terms
Output
A JSON object containing the page title, the rendered content in Markdown or plain text, detected language code, character count, word count, the final resolved URL (after redirects), and a flag indicating whether the content was truncated at the requested maxChars limit.
Example use cases
LLM context from live article
“Go read https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/openai-news/ and pull the full article text as Markdown so I can use it as context for my summary — keep the links, skip images, and cap it at 30000 characters.”
Research tool for competitor pages
“Fetch https://www.competitor.com/pricing and return the content as plain text, no images or links, so I can analyze their pricing structure.”
Daily briefing from news URL
“Read https://www.bbc.com/news/technology and give me the page content as Markdown — include all links and images — up to 50000 characters, so I can see the top tech stories today.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://reader.scrapemole.workers.dev/v1/read?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read and process the body content of a specific public web page as structured Markdown or plain text, without needing to set up accounts or API keys. It is ideal for one-off or pay-per-use reads in agent pipelines where billing per successful call (USDC via x402) is acceptable. Prefer this over browser automation or full-crawl services when you only need clean readable content from a single URL, not JavaScript-heavy rendering or bulk crawling.
Side effects
- URL is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — returns error, no charge
- URL is malformed or missing — schema validation error before payment
- Page returns non-200 HTTP status — call is not charged
- Timeout fetching the remote page — no charge on failed calls
- Content exceeds maxChars and is silently truncated — truncated flag set to true in response
