URL to Markdown — Clean, LLM-Ready Markdown from Any Page

Point this Actor at any URL and get back clean Markdown — headings, paragraphs, resolved links, lists, bold and italic — with scripts, styles and nav/header/footer boilerplate stripped out. One HTTP request per page, no browser, no LLM call, no API key: a pragmatic reader-mode converter built for feeding page content into RAG pipelines and AI agents.

What you get

• Clean Markdown, not raw HTML. Headings, paragraphs, absolute-resolved links, lists, bold/italic — scripts, styles, comments and nav/header/footer/aside boilerplate stripped before conversion.
• Deterministic, not an LLM cleanup pass. Same page in, same Markdown out, every time, at zero token cost.
• Link control. Turn includeLinks off to keep only the anchor text when URLs would just clutter the output.
• Built for lists. Concurrency up to 30, one row per URL, so a batch of a few dozen pages is a single run.
• Internal addresses are refused, including through a redirect — a public page that happens to point at an internal or private address is not followed there.
• Runs on Apify: schedule it, monitor it, call it from the API or the MCP server, export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or push results straight into your own pipeline.

How to run it

1. Click Try for free — no card needed on the free plan.
2. Paste your URLs into URLs, one per line.
3. Press Start. Results appear in the dataset — read them in the UI, pull them from the API, or have a webhook push them onward.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.005 per run start + $0.002 per URL converted. No monthly seat, no minimum. 100 URLs cost about $0.21; 1,000 URLs about $2.01.

A URL that could not be fetched is still returned, with found: false and the reason — and it is not charged for. You pay for pages converted, not for attempts.

Input

Field	Required	What it does
urls	yes	URLs to fetch and convert. Up to 100 per run.
includeLinks	no	Convert <a href> tags to Markdown links. false keeps only the link text. Default true.
maxConcurrency	no	How many URLs to fetch at once, 1–30 (default 10).

{
    "urls": ["https://example.com", "https://www.iana.org/help/example-domains"]

Output

One row per URL. This is a real row from a real run:

{
    "url": "https://example.com/",
    "found": true,
    "httpStatus": 200,
    "title": "Example Domain",
    "markdown": "# Example Domain\n\nThis domain is for use in documentation examples without needing permission. Avoid use in operations.\n\n[Learn more](https://iana.org/domains/example)",
    "wordCount": 20,
    "summary": "https://example.com/ — 20 words of Markdown.",
    "checkedAt": "2026-07-26T13:23:47.737Z"
}

Field	What it means
found	Whether the URL was reachable
httpStatus	The HTTP status code the page returned
title	The page's <title> text
markdown	The converted page body
wordCount	Word count of markdown
summary	Human-readable one-liner
found: false	Same row shape, markdown: "" and an error explaining why — not billed

These run on the same account, take the same shape of input and bill the same way, so they slot into an existing pipeline without new plumbing.

FAQ

Does it need an API key or login? No.

Does it run JavaScript or render the page? No — a single HTTP fetch plus a regex conversion. Content that only appears after client-side rendering is not captured.

Does it preserve tables or images? No — this is a reader-mode converter for text content (headings, paragraphs, links, lists, emphasis), not a layout-faithful HTML-to-Markdown transpiler.

Can I call it from an AI agent? Yes — a standard Apify Actor, callable from the Apify API, the SDK, or the Apify MCP server.

What this is NOT. It does not crawl an entire site, does not pull structured fields like prices or JSON-LD out of the page, and does not fetch pages behind a login — one URL, one HTTP request, plain Markdown out.
