// capabilities

Fetching, minus the babysitting

The parts that break your own scraper — retries, cleaning, PDFs, formats — are handled behind one call.

Markdown in one flag

Set clean:true and get readable Markdown instead of raw HTML — boilerplate stripped, inline images reduced to their alt text.

Browser-grade fetching

Set stealth to render a page in a real browser when a plain HTTP fetch is not enough — full JavaScript and real fingerprints.

Managed fetch infrastructure

Requests leave through managed fetch infrastructure, not your server's IP, and retry on 403, 429, and 5xx with exponential backoff.

PDF to Markdown

Point at a PDF and it comes back as extracted Markdown. The content_type field tells you whether an HTML or PDF path ran.

DOM filtering & links

include_tags and exclude_tags trim the DOM before cleaning; extract_links returns a deduplicated map of outbound links with anchor text.

Opt-in caching

Add max_age to serve a fresh-enough cached copy so you don't pay to refetch pages that haven't changed since last time.
