How this service works
Fetch a web page as clean Markdown. Readable main text of any public web page as Markdown, with title, author, date and word count. Boilerplate, menus and ads removed.
Output
A JSON object containing the original URL, the page title, the full page content rendered as Markdown (stripped of navigation/ads/boilerplate), and an integer word count. Max length is controllable via the max_chars parameter (default 40,000 characters).
Example use cases
Article content extraction for summarization
“Grab the full text from this news article at https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65102150 so I can read what it actually says — get up to 80000 characters of markdown.”
Competitor product page analysis
“Pull the readable content from https://stripe.com/pricing so I can see what their pricing page actually says — fetch the page as clean markdown text.”
Research page content for fact-checking
“Fetch the text from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model and return it as markdown, limit it to 50000 characters so we can work with it.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://sift.srv1996466.hstgr.cloud/v1/fetch?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use /v1/fetch when you need the human-readable text body of a standard HTML webpage and want it returned as Markdown suitable for LLM consumption. Prefer this over /v1/screenshot (which returns a PNG image) or /v1/metadata (which returns only structured metadata without body text). Choose /v1/pdf instead if the URL points to a PDF document. This endpoint is ideal when you want to read, summarize, or analyze the prose content of an article, product page, documentation page, or blog post.
Side effects
- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 HTTP status — endpoint will not charge and will return an error
- Page requires JavaScript rendering that the fetcher cannot execute — content may be empty or partial
- Paywalled or login-gated pages return only the visible pre-auth content
- max_chars set outside the valid range (1000–200000) causes a validation error
- URL points to a binary file (PDF, image) instead of HTML — use /v1/pdf or file-specific endpoints instead
- USDC payment on Base fails or wallet has insufficient balance — call is rejected before fetching
