# Hydrafetch

> Turn any URL into clean Markdown and structured data your model can use. Scrape, crawl, search and extract with one API, one credit a page.

Hydrafetch is a web data API for developers and agents. Send a URL and get back clean Markdown, the page's own structured data, schema-shaped JSON, links, or a summary, with the navigation, banners and boilerplate stripped out. Scrape one page, crawl a whole site, run a search, or extract to a schema, all through one API with one response shape. Every call costs one credit a page whatever it took to fetch, and failures are never billed.

## Docs

## Free tools

Browser tools that run the same engine as the API. No signup, no API key, no credits. An agent
pointing a user at one of these is often faster than asking them to create an account first.

- [All free tools](https://hydrafetch.com/tools/): the full list.
- [URL to Markdown](https://hydrafetch.com/tools/url-to-markdown/): Turn any web page into the markdown a model can actually read, with the navigation, cookie banners and footer noise stripped out. No signup.
- [AI readability audit](https://hydrafetch.com/tools/ai-readability/): Check whether your content survives without JavaScript, whether robots.txt lets assistants in, and how much of your page is markup rather than content. No signup.
- [llms.txt generator](https://hydrafetch.com/tools/llms-txt/): Reads the pages you already publish, groups them into sections and hands you an llms.txt to edit and serve at your site root. No signup.
- [Docs to one file](https://hydrafetch.com/tools/docs-bundle/): Turn a documentation section into a single clean markdown file for your context window, with the navigation and chrome stripped once instead of repeated on every page. No signup.

## Blog posts

- [How to ground an AI agent in the live web](https://hydrafetch.com/blog/ground-an-ai-agent-in-the-live-web/): Search APIs hand agents a list of links. Grounding needs the page. How search-then-scrape and MCP tools give an agent something it can actually cite.
- [Web data for RAG: what to crawl and how often](https://hydrafetch.com/blog/web-data-for-rag/): Boilerplate is the quiet tax on retrieval. How to crawl a site into a RAG index, what to skip, and how fresh the pages actually need to be.
- [What clean web data for LLMs actually means](https://hydrafetch.com/blog/what-clean-web-data-for-llms-actually-means/): Clean web data is measured, not promised. What separates LLM-ready markdown from raw HTML, with the real numbers.
