When to pick which
- Need clean text from many different websites for an LLM? A page-to-Markdown Actor such as URL to Markdown API needs no per-site setup.
- Need pages that only render in a browser? Use a browser-based crawler; this Actor reads server HTML, which is why it is fast and cheap.
About Rocketyard’s URL to Markdown API
- Price: $0.75 per 1,000 pages plus $0.00005 per run, no subscription.
- Fields: 21 per record, 16 of them filled in at least half of the records in the latest test run. A field the source doesn’t publish comes back as
null, never guessed. - Tested before every release: recorded pages, a run on the Apify platform that checks the output and the cost per result, and a data-quality check on live public pages (latest: nasa.gov, en.wikipedia.org and developer.mozilla.org). A release that fails a check after publishing is rolled back automatically.
