Let your AI agent read any web page as markdown for $0.001, no API key
Description and use
LLM agents can now fetch clean markdown from any public web page for $0.001 without an API key, using Agent Web Access, which renders the page in a real browser and is paid via the x402 protocol on Base.
Problem
LLM agents often fail to retrieve usable content from web pages because a plain HTTP GET returns an empty shell, a cookie wall, or only navigation markup.
Outcome
Agents can retrieve clean markdown of any public web page for $0.001 per call, enabling text extraction, screenshots, or PDFs without running a browser locally.
Workflow
- 1. Agent sends a GET request to https://web.cyberwarex.com/fetch with parameters url and format (e.g., markdown).
- 2. Service renders the page in a real browser, strips boilerplate, and returns the content.
- 3. If the request is unpaid, the service responds with a 402 invoice; the client signs the payment with a Base wallet and retries automatically.
- 4. The agent receives the rendered content and can use it directly in its workflow.
Evidence
Agent Web Access is a pay‑per‑call alternative. Your agent sends a URL and gets back the rendered page as clean markdown.
Each call is paid in USDC on Base through the open x402 protocol.
I ran this exact script before publishing: it returned status 200 and about 11 KB of markdown for the Hacker News front page, at a cost of $0.001.
