Extract page content in one request
Use POST /v1/extract for the normal extraction path. The API reference describes the request options and response fields so your application can handle missing fields and errors explicitly.
Read the documentationWeb Fetch API for web content extraction
Lexmount Web Fetch is a web extraction API: send a public URL and receive structured page content through HTTP. It fetches the page, renders when needed, and extracts fields such as title, main text, links, and images without requiring your application to manage a browser session.
From a public URL to structured content
Capture HTML and reuse a DOM snapshot
Use POST /v1/dom/dump when you need captured HTML or to diagnose a fetch. Reuse the returned dom_id with extraction to separate fetching from content processing.
