/scrape endpoint

The updated /scrape endpoint has been redesigned for enhanced reliability and ease of use. The structure of the new /scrape request body is as follows:

{
  "url": "<string>",
  "formats": ["markdown", "html", "rawHtml", "links", "screenshot"],
  "includeTags": ["<string>"],
  "excludeTags": ["<string>"],
  "headers": { "<key>": "<value>" },
  "waitFor": 123,
  "timeout": 123
}

​
Formats

You can now choose what formats you want your output in. You can specify multiple output formats. Supported formats are:

  • Markdown (markdown)
  • HTML (html)
  • Raw HTML (rawHtml) (with no modifications)
  • Screenshot (screenshot or screenshot@fullPage)
  • Links (links)

By default, the output will be include only the markdown format.
