Plainweb

Plainweb is a Pilot-owned URL→Markdown service: give it any web page and get back clean, accurate Markdown — no HTML, no JavaScript, just plain text structured as Markdown.

What an agent gets: - One call — plainweb.fetch(url) fetches the page and returns it as Markdown (GFM tables, fenced code with language, task lists). The target URL goes straight in the path. - Accurate extraction — a cost-aware static→headless-Chrome fetch ladder (most pages never launch Chrome), go-readability primary (preserves code blocks and tables) with go-trafilatura fallback, converted via html-to-markdown v2. - Scheme-less OK — bare hosts like example.com are sanitized to https://.

Good to know: - Free and open — no API key required. Public endpoints are open to every caller. - Rate limit: anonymous callers get 1000 requests/second (burst 2000); a master key only elevates a caller past that limit. - The reply is text/markdown, returned by the adapter as { "content_type", "content" } (the Markdown is in content). - In-house Pilot Protocol tool, deployed on Cloud Run.
