Example prompt: Can you scrape the content of https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/openai-launches-gpt-5/ and give me the clean readable text from the article?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need clean, readable text from a public webpage without writing custom HTML parsing logic. Ideal for agent workflows that need to summarize, research, or analyze web content on-the-fly. Prefer this over a full site research/crawl endpoint when you only need the plain text of a single page, not metadata, headings structure, or social link analysis.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — returns an error
- Page behind a JavaScript-heavy SPA may not render fully — partial or empty text returned
- Invalid or malformed URL input — returns validation error
- Rate limits or network timeouts on the target server — scrape may fail or be incomplete
- Paywalled or bot-blocked pages — returns limited or no content
