## About

## What it does
Web Text Extractor pulls the visible text from a webpage and returns it as either a single string or an array of lines. Send a `url`, and optionally set `preserve_paragraphs` to keep paragraph structure instead of splitting the text into discrete lines.

Use it when you need page content without HTML noise: indexing articles, feeding webpage text into search or analysis pipelines, or capturing the readable body of a page for downstream processing. The `/split` endpoint returns `data` as an array of strings, while the other GET endpoint returns `data` as one string.

This is useful for scraping content that should ignore menus, scripts, and other non-visible elements. If you are building a crawler, a content summariser, or a monitoring job that watches page copy for changes, Web Text Extractor gives you a clean text layer from a URL.
