Markdown

Convert a page's main content to clean, well-formatted Markdown. URLpipe keeps the substance — headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links and fenced code — while dropping navigation, sidebars, cookie banners and other chrome.

This is the go-to endpoint for feeding web pages to an LLM or a RAG pipeline: Markdown is the format models work best with, and because the page is rendered with headless Chrome first, JavaScript-heavy sites produce complete content too.

The same page always produces the same Markdown, and links come back as absolute URLs you can follow without the page they came from.

It uses no AI — the conversion is a walk over the rendered DOM, not a model call — so it costs 1 credit per call, the same as /html. See Credits.

Responses

Whatever the status, the response carries metadata headers: the result token, whether it was served from cache and how old that result is, how long we took, what it cost in credits, and the allowance you have left.
