Prerequisites

Before starting, create a free Chuger account at https://www.chuger.com/register. After signing in, navigate to the dashboard at https://app.chuger.com/dashboard and generate your API token from the API Tokens section. Copy the token as YOUR_API_TOKEN.

You need:

A Chuger API token
curl or a HTTP client like fetch or requests

Step 1: Extract content from a URL

Use the /v1/content endpoint to convert any URL into clean markdown. This removes ads, navigation, and scripts automatically.

Prepare your request

The endpoint requires your Authorization header with the Bearer token. Target a public URL like https://example.com.

Send the request

Make a GET request to https://api.chuger.com/v1/content?url={encoded_url}.

Parse the response

The response includes clean markdown ready for your AI or app.

API Request and Response Examples

Test the /v1/content endpoint across languages.

Your response contains markdown stripped of clutter. Feed it directly into LLMs for summarization or analysis.
