More facts

What it isA web reader API: send a URL, get the page's main content back as clean Markdown
Credits1 credit = 1 page read without a browser; 2 credits when the page needs a browser to render JavaScript. A request that fails, or that a site's robots.txt refuses, is not charged
Credit expiryPrepaid credits never expire: unused pages stay on your account until you use them
OutputClean Markdown of the page's main content (or plain text, or cleaned HTML), with title, description, author, publication date, language and word count; links and images on request
JavaScriptJavaScript rendering in a headless browser when the page needs it (render=auto), or always, or never
PDFPDF files up to 20 MB and 100 pages are converted to Markdown, at 1 credit per started block of 10 pages
Crawl and batchCrawl one website per job, up to 10,000 pages, following its sitemap, its robots.txt and its Crawl-delay. Up to 100 URLs per batch job
robots.txtWe respect robots.txt: our crawler identifies itself as WebReaderAPI, follows the rules written for it or for all robots, and does not read a page that a site disallows. Refused pages are not charged
Site owners' choicesIf a site declares Content-Signal: ai-input=no in its robots.txt, we do not read its pages for you. If a site refuses our request, we return its answer: we never solve CAPTCHAs, log in to accounts, or try to get around a block or a paywall

EndpointGET https://webreaderapi.com/api/v1/read?url=…
AuthenticationSend your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token, or in the api_key query parameter
Code examplesPython, Node.js and curl, plus tool definitions for MCP, LangChain, LlamaIndex and OpenAI function calling
AccountAccount-number login; email is optional. You sign in with your account number, so keep it in a safe place. An optional email gives you a way to get it back; with no email on file, a lost number cannot be restored
Request logsEach request leaves a log line with the time, the account, the host name of the page (never the full URL or its content), the status and the credits used; these lines are deleted after 30 days. Pages you read are not stored. Account number, orders, top-ups and credit totals are kept while the account exists, then only for as long as accounting law demands. Records go to authorities only when a law obliges us
