Read a page

~6.25 credits / page (up to 250)

Fetches any public web page and returns its main content as clean, readable Markdown, stripping away navigation, ads, and cookie banners. Works on articles, documentation pages, blog posts, and PDFs.

Use when

You have a URL and want its readable body, an article, a docs page, or a PDF, without ads or navigation.

Not for

Pulling specific structured fields (use Extract fields), or a page that needs a click or login (use Read interactive page).

Cost

~6.25 credits / page (up to 250)

A standard page is the usual case; a hard anti-bot page or a long multi-page PDF costs more.

Estimated; the actual charge depends on your input and is shown in the response.

Set these inside the intent when you run it.

The full URL of the page to read.

What you get back
