Frequently Asked Questions

Does it handle JavaScript-rendered content?

Yes - URL inputs render in headless Chrome first, so SPA / dynamic content is captured. Direct HTML inputs skip Chrome for a faster path.

Is whitespace preserved?

Block elements get newlines, inline elements get spaces. The output reads like a stripped-down version of the source page.

Is there a REST API?

Yes - POST /api/v1/convert/text. Response headers include X-Word-Count and X-Character-Count.
