Extract Text from Webpage API

What it does

Webpage Text Extractor pulls the visible text from a webpage when you send a URL. It returns either a single string or an array of lines, depending on which endpoint you use.

Use the url query parameter to point at the page you want to read. Both endpoints also accept preserve_paragraphs; when set to true, the extracted text keeps paragraph structure instead of flattening it into split lines. The /split endpoint returns data as an array of strings, while the other endpoint returns data as one string.

This is useful when you need clean page text for indexing, content checks, monitoring, or downstream processing without handling browser rendering yourself. Send a live webpage, get back only the visible text, and work with the result in the format your pipeline expects.

Webpage Text Extractor is a good fit for scraping workflows, content extraction jobs, and tools that need readable page text rather than HTML.
