Extract Web Text

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.
