Introduction

link.sc turns any website into clean, structured data your models can use. Send a URL or a query, get back markdown or JSON. We handle rendering, proxies, parsing, and retries.

What is link.sc?

link.sc is an API service for web data. You give it a URL and it returns the page as clean markdown, structured JSON, or raw HTML. There are no proxies to rotate, browsers to babysit, or parsers to maintain on your side.

The same engine powers real-time web search where every result includes full-page content, and a Research Agent that searches, reads, and synthesizes cited reports while streaming every step it takes.

Core endpoints

Make your first request

Install the SDK, set your API key, and fetch a page. The example below returns markdown and metadata for a single URL.

# pip install linksc
from linksc import Link

link = Link(api_key=os.environ["LINK_API_KEY"])

page = link.fetch(
    "news.ycombinator.com",
    format="markdown",
)
print(page.markdown[:400])

Response format

Every successful response includes the requested format plus metadata about the fetch:

{
  "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/",
  "markdown": "# Hacker News\n\n1. Show HN: … (142 points)…",
  "metadata": {
    "title": "Hacker News",
    "statusCode": 200,
    "tokens": 1847
  }
}
