# Convert a JavaScript-rendered page to Markdown in a browser

**Use case:** 

Renders a page in a headless Chromium, waits until its content is ready, and returns the main content as Markdown. Use it for single-page apps and pages that fill themselves in with scripts, where a plain fetch sees only an empty shell. robots.txt is still obeyed for every frame. Pay per page rendered.

## Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event"
  ],
  "render": "always",
  "includeLinks": false,
  "maxChars": 200000
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "URL",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "ok": {
    "label": "OK",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "status": {
    "label": "HTTP status",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "title": {
    "label": "Title",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "lang": {
    "label": "Language",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "wordCount": {
    "label": "Word count",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "rendered": {
    "label": "Rendered",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "contentFormat": {
    "label": "Content format",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "markdown": {
    "label": "Markdown",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "error": {
    "label": "Error",
    "format": "object"
  }
}
```

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/hermeskd/url-to-markdown.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
