How this service works
HTML to markdown. $0.002 USDC.
Output
A JSON object with ok status, the page title, the full Markdown content of the page, the final resolved URL (after redirects), the fetch timestamp, word count, origin HTTP status code, SHA-256 hashes of the Markdown and raw origin body, the origin content type, origin body size in bytes, and the extractor version used.
Example use cases
LLM context from news article
“Fetch the full text of this Bloomberg article as Markdown so I can summarize it: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-15/some-story”
Research page archival
“Convert this Wikipedia page to Markdown for me — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_(deep_learning_architecture) — I want to store it cleanly.”
Monitoring a public pricing page
“Go read https://www.competitor.com/pricing and return it as Markdown so I can check what their current prices say.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://reader.outbid.sh/scrape?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve and read a public web page as clean, LLM-friendly Markdown with a simple per-call micropayment model and no API key setup. It is ideal for one-off or low-volume page reads where you want structured metadata (title, word count, hashes) alongside the content. Prefer it over browser automation or full crawlers when you only need readable text from a single public URL.
Side effects
- URL is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — origin_status will reflect 401/403
- Page returns non-HTML content (PDF, binary) — conversion may be incomplete or empty
- URL is invalid or malformed — request rejected before fetch
- Origin server is down or times out — error returned with no content
- Paywalled or JavaScript-rendered content may return minimal or incomplete Markdown
- Payment not accepted or x402 handshake fails — call not processed
