How this service works
Skim: clean reader — URL to agent-ready markdown + metadata, ~4x smaller than raw HTML
Output
Returns clean markdown rendering of the target webpage along with structured metadata (title, description, etc.), stripped of navigation, ads, and boilerplate HTML — approximately 4x smaller than the raw HTML source, optimized for LLM consumption.
Example use cases
Research article ingestion for agent
“Fetch this research article at https://nature.com/articles/s41586-024-12345-6 and convert it to clean markdown so I can summarize it — I don't want all the HTML overhead.”
News page to readable digest
“Grab the content from https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/01/openai-latest-news/ and convert it to compact markdown with metadata so I can pipe it into my newsletter agent.”
Documentation page for LLM context
“Pull down https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges and clean it up into agent-ready markdown — I need it small enough to fit in my LLM context window.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://skim402.com/api/v1/readWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a single static webpage converted to compact, LLM-ready markdown quickly and cheaply. It is ideal for standard HTML pages that do not require JavaScript execution. If the page is a SPA or JS-gated, prefer the JS-rendered reader sibling. If you need structured JSON article fields, prefer the article extraction endpoint. If you need to process multiple URLs at once, prefer the batch reader endpoint.
Side effects
- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status
- Page requires JavaScript rendering (use the JS-rendered reader sibling endpoint instead)
- Page is behind a login wall or paywall and content cannot be fetched
- URL is malformed or missing
- Rate limiting or timeout on the target server
- Content is not text-based (e.g. PDF, image) and cannot be converted to markdown
