Read any web page as clean text (Superpowers)
Reads any public web page or PDF and returns its text as Markdown.
Asks page readers one at a time, cheapest first: Jina Reader (under US$0.001), Firecrawl, ScrapeGraphAI, then a real cloud browser with residential proxies and captcha solving (Notte, about US$0.05). It stops at the first result that is the page itself; bot checks, login walls, empty JavaScript shells, error pages and pages of bare links are rejected and the next reader is tried. output.read_by names the reader used and output.rejected says why earlier ones were passed over. In our October 2026 test of 71 pages (documentation, JavaScript apps, bot-protected sites such as G2, Indeed, Amazon, Reuters and Trustpilot, and PDFs) it returned the real page for 93%, against 86% for the best single reader, at about US$0.005 on average. Set browser to false to skip the browser step. You pay for each reader call that returned something; failed calls are free.
