How this service works
PDFs, JavaScript pages and ordinary HTML as clean Markdown. Pays a page's x402 toll for you. Follows robots.txt.
Output
A JSON object containing the converted Markdown string, page title, word count, estimated token count, detected language, source type (static/JS-rendered/PDF), fetch and render timing breakdown, charset, final URL after redirects, redirect chain, content type, canonical URL, and any warnings encountered during conversion.
Example use cases
Feeding live articles to an LLM
“Grab the full article at https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/15/some-article and convert it to clean Markdown so I can summarize it.”
Extracting PDF research paper content
“That PDF at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.07041.pdf — can you pull out all the text as Markdown so I can analyze the methodology section?”
Monitoring a JavaScript-rendered product page
“Fetch the content of https://store.example.com/products/widget — it's a React page — and get me the clean Markdown text so I can check what it says about pricing.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://url2md.io/v1/mdWhen to prefer
Choose url2md when you need to reliably convert any arbitrary URL — including JavaScript-rendered single-page apps and PDFs — into clean, AI-ready Markdown with a single HTTP call. It is especially valuable when you need structured metadata alongside the text (title, word count, token estimate, timing). Prefer it over general-purpose scrapers when you need consistent Markdown output without HTML noise, and when you need robots.txt-compliant fetching. The per-call USDC micro-payment model via x402 makes it practical for on-demand agent use without subscriptions.
Side effects
- URL is blocked by robots.txt for the url2md user-agent token — returns an error indicating crawl disallowed
- URL is unreachable or times out — returns a fetch error
- JavaScript rendering fails or times out for dynamic pages — may return partial or empty markdown
- Payment via x402 protocol is rejected or underfunded — call is not processed
- URL returns non-HTML/non-PDF content type that cannot be converted — returns a content-type warning or error
- Redirects exceed limits or produce a redirect loop — returns a redirect error
