Web to Markdown
Turn any web page into clean, LLM-ready Markdown over plain HTTP — no headless browser, no waiting. Built for AI agents and RAG pipelines that need page content as compact, structured text instead of raw HTML.
Feed it one or more URLs and get back one dataset row per page: the converted Markdown plus title, meta description, author, publish date, final URL (after redirects), HTTP status and character count.
Why agents need this
Raw HTML is 5–10× larger than the text an LLM actually needs, and full of nav bars, cookie banners, scripts and ads. This actor extracts the main article content (readability, with <article>/<main> fallbacks), strips the noise, absolutizes links, and returns tight Markdown — ready to drop into a prompt, a vector store, or a dataset.
And because it's pure HTTP, a page converts in about a second — fast enough to call mid-reasoning-loop, unlike browser-based scrapers that need a container and a browser to boot.
What it does
- HTTP-only fetching — 30s timeout, browser-like User-Agent, follows redirects. No browser overhead.
- Smart content extraction — readability first, then
<article>/<main>, then<body>; scripts, styles, nav, footers, asides and forms are stripped. - Metadata — page title, meta/OG description, author,
article:published_timewhen present. - Per-page truncation — Markdown capped at
maxChars(default 20,000) so agent context stays bounded. - Batch — one URL per line; one bad URL never kills the batch, failures are reported per row.
- Safe by default — only public
http(s)URLs are fetched; hosts resolving to private, loopback or link-local IPs are refused (SSRF guard).
Input

Output
One dataset row per URL:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
url / finalUrl | Requested URL / URL after redirects |
statusCode | HTTP status of the fetch |
title, description, author, publishedAt | Page metadata |

Pricing
| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Page converted | $0.003 per page successfully converted to Markdown |
You are only charged for pages that convert successfully — failed fetches cost nothing. (Apify platform usage costs are paid by you as usual.)
