# Convert blog articles to Markdown for ChatGPT and Claude

**Use case:** 

Paste blog post or news article URLs and get the article body as clean Markdown, plus author and publish date when the page declares them, ready to paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, or to call from an AI agent. Ads, menus, cookie banners and share buttons are removed, and each page is capped at 50,000 characters to fit a context window. A bulk, pay-per-page Jina Reader alternative.

## 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/tenfoldfleet/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`).
