Content Extraction

Extract Structured Content
from Any Web Page

Turn any URL into clean Markdown, plain text, HTML, article data, links, or metadata. Powered by a real Chromium browser for JavaScript-rendered pages.

Six Extraction Types

Choose the output format that fits your use case.

Markdown

Clean Markdown output with headings, links, lists, and emphasis preserved. Perfect for LLMs and RAG pipelines.

Text

Plain text with no HTML tags or formatting. Great for search indexing, summarization, and text analysis.

HTML

Raw cleaned HTML of the main content area. Useful when you need to preserve original markup and styling.

Article

Structured article data: title, author, date, excerpt, and main content. Powered by Mozilla Readability.

Links

All links on the page with anchor text and href. Useful for building crawlers, sitemaps, and link analysis tools.

Metadata

Open Graph tags, Twitter cards, and other meta tags as structured JSON. Build link preview cards instantly.

Simple API, Powerful Output

One request, structured content back. Works with GET or POST.

cURL (GET)
curl "https://app.snap-render.com/v1/extract?url=https://example.com&type=markdown" \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_key_here"
cURL (POST)
curl -X POST "https://app.snap-render.com/v1/extract" \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com", "type": "markdown"}'
Node.js SDK
import SnapRender from 'snaprender';

const snap = new SnapRender({ apiKey: 'sk_live_your_key_here' });
const result = await snap.extract({ url: 'https://example.com', type: 'markdown' });
console.log(result.content);

How It Works

1

Send a Request

Pass your target URL and extraction type (markdown, text, html, article, links, or metadata).

2

Page Renders in Chromium

SnapRender loads the page in a real browser, executes JavaScript, and waits for the content to settle.

3

Get Structured Content

Receive clean, structured content in your chosen format. No HTML soup, no boilerplate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What extraction types are supported?
Six types: markdown, text, html, article, links, and metadata. Each returns structured data in a format suited to specific use cases.
Does it handle JavaScript-rendered pages?
Yes. SnapRender loads every page in a real Chromium browser, so JavaScript-rendered content (React, Vue, Angular, and others) is fully supported.
Can I extract content from pages behind a login?
Not currently. The extraction API works with publicly accessible URLs only.
How is extraction billed?
Each extraction counts as one API call against your monthly quota, the same as a screenshot request.
What is the difference between text and markdown?
Text strips all formatting and returns plain text only. Markdown preserves headings, links, lists, bold, italic, and other structural elements, making it ideal for LLM context or documentation.
