## About

## What it does

Webpage Text Extractor pulls the visible text from a URL and returns it as plain text. Send a webpage URL, and get back the readable content that appears in the page body, without the surrounding HTML.

Use the main endpoint when you want the extracted content as a single string in `data`. Use `/split` when you want the text broken into an array of lines in `data`. Both endpoints accept `url`, and both support `preserve_paragraphs` when you need paragraph breaks to stay intact instead of being flattened.

This is useful when you need to index page content, feed article text into search or downstream analysis, or compare the visible copy of a page against another source. It is also a practical fit for crawlers, content pipelines, and SEO checks where you care about what a user can actually read, not the page markup.

Webpage Text Extractor returns only the extracted visible text shape defined by each endpoint: a string for the main route, or an array of strings for the split route. If you need structured HTML parsing or metadata, that is outside this service’s response model.
