How this service works

Download the content behind a search result

Output

Returns a ContentsResponse containing one or more content items: for Tako card URLs, a CSV of the card's data rows (up to 2,000 rows by default, billed per 1,000 rows); for web URLs, the extracted plain text of the page. Content is delivered either as a short-lived presigned download URL or inline in the response body, depending on the requested mode. The response also includes a usage breakdown showing total cost in USD, number of datasets, and optionally data point counts.

Example use cases

Export chart data for offline analysis

“I found this Tako card with GDP trend data — https://tako.com/card/xyz789 — can you download the underlying CSV so I can load it into my spreadsheet? Just give me the first 500 rows inline.”

Extract text from web search result

“Take this web result URL from my Tako search — https://example.com/report/2024-economic-outlook — and pull out the full page text so I can read the key points.”

Research agent pulling dataset for report

“I'm building a report and need the raw dataset from this Tako card — https://tako.com/card/def456 — fetch it as a presigned download URL so I can pass it along to my pipeline.”

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you have already obtained a result URL from Tako Search or Answer and need to retrieve the underlying raw data or text content behind it. It is the right choice when you want a downloadable CSV from a Tako data card for quantitative analysis, or when you need the extracted text of a web page from a Tako search result. Prefer this over re-searching when you already have the specific card or web URL.

Side effects

Invalid or non-existent URL returns an error — the URL must be a valid TakoCard.webpage_url or WebResult.url
Requesting premium=true with content_format=card_json is rejected — premium plumbing is not supported in that format
max_rows values exceeding 2,000 are clamped silently by the system
Presigned download URLs are short-lived and will expire if not fetched promptly
Network or upstream errors may result in empty or partial content responses

Input

Schema · Request body

Field	Type	Description
urlrequired	string	The result URL to fetch downloadable content for (a TakoCard.webpage_url or a WebResult.url). A Tako card URL yields a CSV of the card's data; any other URL yields the page's extracted text.
mode	string	How contents reach the caller. URL returns a short-lived presigned file download; INLINE returns the content in the response body.
premium	boolean	When true, reveal premium cells and bill them. A card's premium columns (see manifest[].premium_class) are withheld by default: a withheld cell reads [premium: withheld] in CSV and is null in JSON formats. This is the only way to receive their values. The export then adds export_pricing.premium_row_cpm_usd[class] per 1,000 rows that hold a value in a column of that class, on top of the standard row rate; premium_rows on the item reports the counts. The flag has no effect on a card without premium columns and on web URLs, and is rejected with content_format=card_json, which carries no premium plumbing.
max_rows	—	Optional cap on the rows a Tako card export returns and is priced against. When omitted, it depends on mode: 'url' returns the whole card, up to the card's export_pricing.max_rows_ceiling (at most 100,000 rows), and 'inline' returns up to 2,000 rows. Tako clamps larger values to that ceiling. When a card holds more rows than the cap, csv, json_records, and json_compact keep the rows with the latest dates, counting back from the card's latest date even when that date is in the future, as on a forecast. A card without a date column keeps its first rows instead. Sports cards cut differently: a league schedule keeps the tab the card shows, then the tabs nearest to it, and a game, standings, or team stats card keeps an even share of each table. The kept rows stay in the card's own order. card_json cuts each card type its own way: a price or indicator series keeps its newest readings, a forecast or ranking keeps its first records, and those sports cards keep rows from the same tabs and tables as their csv. Every row returned bills at the per-1,000-row rate, on top of the flat per-export baseline. Tako never bills more rows than it returns, so a card holding fewer rows than this cap bills only what it holds. Every card format returns the rows up to this cap and bills them, including card_json. Web URLs ignore this field. A card export can hold up to 100,000 rows. Don't read a large export directly into a model's context: at about 15 tokens per row, 10,000 rows cost about 150,000 tokens. Write the export to a file, on disk or in memory, and have the agent parse it with code. Give the model only the rows or results it needs. To cap the export instead, set max_rows.
max_chars	integer	Character cap on extracted web page text. Ignored for Tako card URLs (they use max_rows). Omit it and Tako returns the full page text, up to the maximum this field allows. To truncate, pass a smaller value.
highlights	—	Return only the passages of a web page that match highlights.query, instead of its full text. The passages arrive in the same text payload, joined with ' … ', and max_chars doesn't apply. Tako card URLs reject it, and so do accounts whose web provider can't return highlights. It bills at the same flat rate as full text.
quote_only	boolean	When true, return only the price of the export (cost + export_pricing) without fetching content or charging. The response item's payload and url fields are null, and the request is free. One exception: a card_json quote returns 'card_data_schema', the shape the export would deliver. Test 'content_format' for null to tell a quote from a delivery. `max_rows` shapes the quote. An omitted `max_rows` defaults the way a real export does: the whole card for mode 'url', and 2,000 rows for 'inline'. The quote reads `mode` only for that default. Every format prices a quote from `max_rows`, so a quote is instant and makes no call to a data provider. A quote is an upper bound on the charge: an export of a card with fewer rows than the cap bills less. For a card with data from a source priced per unit, the quote also covers the most that data can charge, which `export_pricing` reports as `variable_cost_max_usd`. A card_json export is truncated to `max_rows` like every other format, so the charge can never exceed the quote for the same cap. A card_json quote reports no `total_rows`, because it does not build the payload. The same export-safe gate applies, so an unexportable card still returns 403, and a card type with no card_json shape still returns 422.
content_format	string	Serialization of tabular (Tako card) data. Web content is always raw text and carries no content format (content_format is null).
