Hey Product Hunt community! I'm thrilled to launch urltotext.com today.
Urltotext.com started as an internal debugging tool the web scraper for another product of ours but quickly became indispensable for our customers in extracting clean data from various websites.
When working with LLMs, especially for RAG (retrieval augmented generation), clean data input is crucial.
Urltotext.com excels at:
1. Extracting clean text from raw HTML, reducing token bloat
2. Intelligently isolating main content using AI-driven heuristics
3. Rendering JavaScript and using residential IPs to overcome common extraction hurdles
We're exploring a paid version with higher rate limits, a fully documented API for programmatic access, and advanced features like CAPTCHA solving.
If urltotext.com sounds useful for your projects, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Please share your feedback and use cases in the comments.
URLtoText looks like a must-try for anyone dealing with data extraction! The capability to pull clean text or markdown from any website while trimming down token bloat is a huge advantage, especially for those using LLMs for RAG workflows.
The AI-driven heuristics to isolate the main content are impressive and should save a ton of time in sifting through cluttered HTML. Plus, I love that it can handle JavaScript and overcome common scraping hurdles with residential IPs — that’s something a lot of scrapers struggle with!
Also, the potential for advanced features like a fully documented API and CAPTCHA solving is super exciting. I can see this being a vital tool for developers looking to integrate clean web data into their apps. Looking forward to seeing how URLtoText evolves with the potential paid version! It's definitely worth exploring for anyone needing quick and reliable text extraction. Keep up the great work!
This feature is very useful, can it also extract content from pages where copying is disabled?
Congrats on the launch! This tool is actually really useful! Are you planning to add extraction for multiple pages as well
Congratulations on the launch, @timothybramlett! This tool sounds super valuable, especially for those of us working with LLMs and looking to optimize data extraction. I'm curious about the AI-driven heuristics you mentioned. How does it determine which content is the "main" content, and does it handle multiple types of website layouts effectively? Also, any insights on the potential pricing structure for the upcoming paid version? I'm really interested in how this can enhance our projects! Looking forward to more details.
I fell in love with this! 🙂 No need to search single text and switch between tabs to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. 👀
Congrats on the launch, @timothybramlett! 🚀 Urltotext.com sounds like a game-changer for anyone dealing with web data extraction. The focus on clean text for LLMs and RAG is spot on. Can't wait to see how the paid version will enhance features like the API and CAPTCHA solving. This could really streamline workflows for many Makers. Excited to give it a try and share feedback! Keep it up!
Congratulations on the launch @timothybramlett. As we can see you are a solo maker, which makes URLtoText even more impressive. Very practical tool!
Hey Timothy,
I'm curious about how it handles dynamic content. Does it wait for JavaScript to load before extracting the text?
How does it perform with websites that have complex layouts or a lot of nested content? It would be interesting to see a comparison of your results versus other text extraction methods.
Congrats on the launch!
This looks interesting, @timothybramlett! I'm curious about how the AI-driven heuristics actually work in isolating the main content. Do you have any examples of how it handles complex layouts or heavily nested HTML structures? Also, with the upcoming paid version, what kind of rate limits are you considering for users? Understanding your potential user base will help in gauging the ROI and overall utility of this tool. Looking forward to seeing how urltotext.com evolves and what other features you plan to roll out!
Definitely going to start using this today! Lovely product. Congratulations on the launch. No more hassle of switching multiple tabs to copy and paste content.
Congratulations on the launch, @timothybramlett!
