Just the body text of a page — no navigation, no cookie banner, no footer.

Extract the main article text from an HTML page, discarding navigation and boilerplate.

Input

Send either a text string or a file object. A file is decoded as UTF-8 and must be one of text/html, text/plain.

Response

The result carries your remaining balance alongside it, so you can track spend without a second call.

{
  "text": "The real content.",
  "title": null,
  "words": 3,
  "paragraphs": 1,
  "request_id": "37f01edb-0163-42a1-ac51-0acaef979800",
  "credits_remaining": 96
}

Cost

2 credits per call, whether it is run from the site or from the API — the credential differs, the price does not. A new account starts with 20 credits.

A rejected request still costs a credit: the authorizer decrements before the tool validates. A call rejected for a missing or invalid key is free.
