Show HN: Readability API – Unrender (unrender.page)

A new tool called Unrender has been introduced, which transforms rendered web pages into clean Markdown format. This innovative Readability API runs an actual browser, incorporating JavaScript execution to extract only the readable content, eliminating common web clutter like cookie banners and irrelevant HTML elements. Users can easily convert web pages into stable, link-preserving Markdown, making it ideal for building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, note-taking, and content pipelines. Unrender is especially significant for the AI/ML community because it addresses challenges posed by JavaScript-heavy websites that traditional web scraping tools often struggle to handle. By providing a straightforward API call, developers can integrate it into their applications to enhance content accessibility and usability. The service offers a free tier with a limit of 5 requests per minute and 200 requests per day, making it an attractive option for small projects and initial testing.
