Show HN: Curl.md – URL to Markdown for Agents (opens in new tab)

(curl.md)

Yet another URL -> Markdown service. curl.md's angle is it is focused on developers.

One of the surprising things about converting HTML to Markdown: You often don't need to.

- grab .md files from repos - append `/index.md` or `.md` to URL - use 'Accept: text/markdown' header - GitHub docs article API -> `/api/article?pathname=` - ... and lots of other shortcuts

You can try out:

- the playground https://curl.md/playground - do `curl curl.md/example.com` in your terminal - or open curl.md/example.com in your browser

GitHub if anyone wants to take a look https://github.com/wevm/curl.md

This is quite interesting. I'm going to try it.

If I understand correctly, my agent just needs to run `curl curl.md/targetsite.com` and it will receive the webpage in an optimized Markdown file format.

Is there any specific depth until which curl.md will crawl?
