Every request gets the best possible Markdown. Primary ### Markdown for Agents Fetches the URL with `Accept: text/markdown`. Cloudflare-enabled sites return clean Markdown directly from the edge — zero parsing needed. fetch(url, { headers: { Accept: "text/markdown" } }) Fallback 1 ### Workers AI If content negotiation returns HTML, we pass it directly through Cloudflare Workers AI `toMarkdown()` — fast, no re-fetch needed. env.AI.toMarkdown(\[{\ name: "page.html",\ blob: htmlBlob\ }\]) Fallback 2 ### Browser Rendering For JS-heavy pages, we render in a headless browser via Cloudflare's Browser Rendering API for full page content extraction.
