Learned about this great service to quickly convert a URL to markdown.

No API key required.

Convert a URL to LLM-friendly input, by simply adding r.jina.ai in front.

Example:

HTML: https://figma.com/

MD: https://r.jina.ai/https://figma.com

With your browser, an n8n http node, curl, typescript, python...anywhere you make http requests.

Note: For proper scrapping and crawling, Firecrawl is more capable, but if you just need 1 URL converted to MD, this works pretty well. Learn more at https://jina.ai/reader/

Use cases:

**Prospect research automation** - Convert target company websites, blog posts, and press releases to markdown for easy analysis of pain points, priorities, and buying signals that inform personalized outreach.
**Lead magnet creation** - Aggregate and convert relevant industry articles, case studies, or how-to guides into markdown to quickly compile ebooks, whitepapers, or resource libraries that capture email addresses.
**Competitive intelligence tracking** - Monitor and archive competitor content (pricing pages, feature announcements, customer testimonials) in markdown format to identify gaps in their offerings that become talking points in your sales conversations.
