Capabilities

Clean web content, ready for AI pipelines.

SnapAPI strips navigation, ads, and boilerplate — returning the main article content in the format your LLM needs.

Markdown Output

Returns the main article as clean GitHub-flavored Markdown. Headers, bold, lists, tables, and code blocks are preserved — perfect for LLM context windows.

Plain Text Mode

Set format=text for whitespace-normalized plain text. Ideal for sentiment analysis, keyword extraction, and embedding generation.

Link Extraction

Returns all hyperlinks in the article as a structured list — internal, external, and citation URLs — for knowledge graph construction.

Image URL Extraction

Returns a deduplicated list of all image URLs in the article. Feed them into your media pipeline or multimodal LLM alongside text content.

Metadata Extraction

Returns page title, description, author, published_at, and Open Graph tags. All from a single API call.

JS-Rendered Pages

Extracts content after full JavaScript execution — React/Next.js blogs, docs sites, and SPA articles are all supported without extra configuration.

Code Examples

Feed clean web content to your LLM.

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from your dashboard.

# Extract article as Markdown
curl -G "https://api.snapapi.pics/v1/extract"   --data-urlencode "url=https://example.com/article"   -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

# Returns: { markdown, text, title, author, description, links, images }

# Plain text format (for embeddings)
curl -G "https://api.snapapi.pics/v1/extract"   --data-urlencode "url=https://example.com/article"   -d "format=text"   -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
import SnapAPI from 'snapapi-js';
const client = new SnapAPI('YOUR_API_KEY');

// Extract for RAG pipeline
const article = await client.extract.fetch({
  url: 'https://example.com/article',
});

// Feed into OpenAI
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: `Summarize: ${article.markdown}` }],
});
from snapapi import SnapAPI
from openai import OpenAI

snap = SnapAPI("YOUR_API_KEY")
oai = OpenAI()

article = snap.extract.fetch(url="https://example.com/article")

response = oai.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": f"Summarize: {article['markdown']}"
    }]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
import "github.com/Sleywill/snapapi-go"

client := snapapi.New("YOUR_API_KEY")

result, err := client.Extract.Fetch(snapapi.ExtractOptions{
    URL: "https://example.com/article",
})
if err != nil { panic(err) }

fmt.Println(result.Title)
fmt.Println(result.Markdown)
Use Cases

The cleanest web data for AI applications.

SnapAPI’s extraction endpoint is purpose-built for LLM pipelines that need clean, structured text.

RAG / AI

Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Feed real-time web content into your RAG pipeline. Extract articles as Markdown, split by headers, embed, and store in your vector database — all from one API response.

AI Agents

Web Browsing Agents

Give your LLM agent the ability to read any webpage. Pass the extracted Markdown directly in the context window without HTML noise or token waste.

NLP

Content Analysis & Summarization

Extract article text from thousands of URLs for sentiment analysis, entity extraction, or automatic summarization pipelines. Clean input = better model output.

Publishing

Content Curation & Newsletters

Automatically extract and summarize articles for your newsletter or digest. SnapAPI returns author, published date, and description alongside the full Markdown body.
