Getting started with Markdownee

Extract one page and save its main content as Markdown. You need Node.js 22.22.2+ on the 22.x line, 24.15.0+ on 24.x, or 26+; no API key or browser download is needed for this HTTP example.

npx --package=@markdownee/markdownee markdownee fetch \
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping \
  --crawler-type cheerio --save markdown-file -o page.md

Open page.md to inspect the extracted article. Diagnostics appear in the terminal. npx selects the scoped npm package and downloads it to its cache when needed. Cheerio processes the HTML returned by the server; it does not run page JavaScript.

For browser-rendered pages, follow the CLI setup. The playground previews a URL and generates examples from selected settings; its hosted preview handles one page, while generated crawls can follow links.

Continue with the CLI reference, Node.js library, Python library, or hosted Apify Actor.
