Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.switch402.com/v1/scrape/lite?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a cost-efficient, single-page web scrape converted to Markdown and the page does not require heavy JavaScript rendering beyond basic failover support. At $0.003 per successful call it is half the cost of the standard /v1/scrape endpoint, making it ideal for high-volume content extraction pipelines. Prefer the standard scrape endpoint if you need richer rendering fidelity. Use the PDF-to-text or screenshot endpoints for non-HTML resources.
Side effects
- URL is not publicly accessible or returns 4xx/5xx — no charge applied
- Malformed or missing URL query parameter returns validation error
- Page content cannot be converted to meaningful Markdown (e.g. binary or media-only pages)
- Rate limiting or timeout on the target server causing fetch failure
- URL exceeds 2048 character limit
