How this service works
Give it a URL, get back the readable article as Markdown. Free tier, then prepaid USDC-on-Base credits at $0.01/call. No signup, no KYC.
Output
Returns a JSON object with: the cleaned article as Markdown (markdown field), title, excerpt, byline, site name, detected language, word count, character length, processing time in ms, and usage info (mode and calls remaining). The Markdown field is the main deliverable for LLM consumption.
Example use cases
Research article ingestion for LLM
“Grab the article at https://www.wired.com/story/ai-future-of-work and pull out the main readable text as Markdown — I want to feed it into my summarizer.”
News story extraction for daily briefing
“Pull the readable content from this Bloomberg article URL and return it as clean Markdown: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-01/fed-rate-decision”
Wikipedia reference content for agent context
“Get me the full readable text of the Wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model as Markdown so I can include it as background context.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.venturebot.party/extractWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to extract the readable main-body text of an article or web page as Markdown, especially for feeding into an LLM context window. It is ideal when you want clean, boilerplate-free content (no nav, ads, or footers) with minimal setup — no signup or KYC required, just a URL and optionally prepaid USDC credits. Prefer it over generic scraping tools when the output format must be Markdown and when metadata like title, byline, word count, and language are also useful.
Side effects
- URL is not reachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status — extraction fails with an error response
- Page is behind a hard login wall or CAPTCHA — content cannot be extracted
- URL points to a binary file (PDF, image) rather than an HTML page — Markdown output may be empty or malformed
- Free tier credits exhausted and no USDC prepaid balance — request is rejected with a payment-required error
- Malformed or non-absolute URL provided — validation error returned
- Page has very little readable content (e.g. pure JavaScript SPA with no server-rendered text) — markdown field may be empty or minimal
