## About

## 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.

## Usage

Base URL: `https://api.eu.apyverse.com` (default region — see
`GET https://apyverse.com/api/public/regions` for the rest).

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
