What Markdown format does the API return?

The API converts web content to GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), which is widely supported by LLMs, documentation tools, and Markdown renderers. Tables, headings, lists, and code blocks are all properly converted.

Can I control whether links and images are included?

Yes. The includeLinks parameter (default: true) controls whether hyperlinks are preserved as Markdown links. The includeImages parameter (default: false) controls whether image references are included. You can also shorten base64-encoded images with shortenBase64Images.

Why use Markdown instead of raw HTML for LLMs?

LLMs process plain text far more efficiently than HTML. Markdown removes thousands of tokens worth of tags, attributes, and styling noise while retaining the semantic structure of the content (headings, lists, emphasis) that models need to understand the page.
