Output Formats

​

Supported Formats

• html – raw page HTML (default DOM output)
• text – plain text version of the page
• markdown – converted Markdown output (good for LLMs and readability)
• json – not a content format, but a wrapper to return all requested formats in a structured JSON response

​

Behavior

• If you pass a single format like "html" or "text", the API returns just that content directly as a string.
• If you pass multiple formats, the response will be a JSON object with each format as a separate key.
• If you include json, it tells the API to wrap the response in a structured JSON object (even for a single format).

​

Example: One Format

{
  "outputFormat": ["text"]
}

Welcome to Example.com
This is a sample page...

​

Example: Multiple Formats

{
  "outputFormat": ["html", "markdown"]
}

{
  "requestMetadata": { /*...*/ },
  "content": "<html>...</html>",
  "markdown": "# Welcome to Example.com\nThis is a sample page...",
  "headers": { /*...*/ },
  "cookies": [],
  "screenshot": "https://..."
}

​

Forcing JSON Format with One Format Inside

{
  "outputFormat": ["json", "markdown"]
}

{
  "markdown": "# Page title\n...",
  "requestMetadata": { /*...*/ },
  "headers": { /*...*/ },
  "cookies": []
}

Notes

• json is not a content type — it controls the response structure
• If you want to include markdown or text inside a JSON response, add json to the list
• If you include multiple content formats, response is always JSON, even without "json" explicitly listed
