URLtoText
Extract clean text or markdown from any website.
URLtoText is a web tool and API that converts a URL into the clean text of that page, returned as plain text or markdown. It handles JavaScript-heavy sites through JavaScript rendering and can extract the main content using AI. An optional AI prompt can be applied to the output, and YouTube URLs can be converted to transcripts.
Options include JavaScript rendering, AI-powered main content extraction, residential IP usage, and output in plain text or markdown. The service is available through a free version with rate limits, while a paid version removes rate limits and adds an API.
