We've just released a new feature in CaptureKit based on user feedback: Markdown extraction. This update enhances CaptureKit's content extraction capabilities, allowing you to retrieve clean, structured text from web pages.

📝 Markdown Extraction (in /content API)

You can now extract the Markdown representation of web pages using the /content endpoint. This makes it easier to work with the textual content of web pages in a format that's both human-readable and machine-processable.

Example Request 

GET https://api.capturekit.dev/content?access_key=&url=https://capturekit.dev&include_markdown=true

Example Response 

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "metadata": { ... },
    "links": { ... },
    "html": "Hello, world!",
    "markdown": "# Hello, world!"
  }
}
