Do I need to write parsing rules just to extract page content?

You do not need to start by writing rules for each website. Give WebFetch the URL of a publicly accessible page to try extracting its main text, title, and other content without building your own fetching and parsing workflow.

In the playground, select POST /v1/extract, enter your URL, and check whether main_text contains the content you need. Try a few representative pages before integrating it into batch tasks.

Results depend on page structure and the content that can be fetched. Fields such as author and publication time may be missing. To inspect the page that was actually fetched, switch to POST /v1/dom/dump and review its HTML.
