Returns async job_id; results include markdown or HTML per page. Use it to fetch and process many pages of content at once.web.extractFetch any public web page and return its main content as clean, token-efficient Markdown (title, description, headings, links, lists). Set render:true to execute JavaScript first for single-page apps or JS-heavy pages that would otherwise come back empty. Built for RAG and for agents that need to r…web.extract_structuredAI-powered structured extraction: give a URL plus a natural-language prompt and/or a JSON Schema, and get back clean structured JSON (e.g. product name, price, rating). Renders the page in a headless browser first, so it works on SPAs.web.linksReturn every hyperlink on a JavaScript-rendered page as a list of absolute URLs, with options to keep only visible links or only same-site links. Backed by a headless browser. Use it to map a site or seed a crawler.web.mapDiscover all URLs reachable from a domain within a link depth limit.
