scrapedown

This project is a Cloudflare worker designed to scrape web pages and extract useful information, including a markdown-formatted version of the content. It's built to handle requests to scrape a given URL and return structured data about the page.

Features

• Fetch and scrape content from any given URL.
• Extract metadata such as title, byline, excerpt, and more.
• Convert HTML content to clean markdown format.
• Handle requests with optional markdown formatting.
• Remove everything but the content (Reader Mode)

Usage

To use this worker, send a GET request to the worker's endpoint with the url query parameter specifying the page to be scraped. Optionally, you can include the markdown query parameter to specify whether the content should be returned in markdown format (default: true). e
