--- name: extract description: "Extract content from specific URLs using Tavily's extraction API. Returns clean markdown/text from web pages. Use when you have specific URLs and need their content without writing code." --- # Extract Skill Extract clean content from specific URLs. Ideal when you know which pages you want content from. ## Prerequisites **Tavily API Key Required** - Get your key at https://tavily.com Add to `~/.claude/settings.json`: ```json { "env": { "TAVILY_API_KEY": "tvly-your-api-key-here" } } ``` ## Quick Start ### Using the Script ```bash ./scripts/extract.sh '<json>' ``` **Examples:** ```bash # Single URL ./scripts/extract.sh '{"urls": ["https://example.com/article"]}' # Multiple URLs ./scripts/extract.sh '{"urls": ["https://example.com/page1", "https://example.com/page2"]}' # With query focus and chunks ./scripts/extract.sh '{"urls": ["https://example.com/docs"], "query": "authentication API", "chunks_per_source": 3}' # Advanced extraction for JS pages ./scripts/extract.sh '{"urls": ["https://app.example.com"], "extract_depth": "advanced", "timeout": 60}' ``` ### Basic Extraction ```bash curl --request POST \ --url https://api.tavily.com/extract \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $TAVILY_API_KEY" \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "urls": ["https://example.com/article"] }' ``` ### Multiple URLs with Query Focus ```bash curl --request POST \ --url https://api.tavily.com/extract \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $TAVILY_API_KEY" \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "urls": [ "https://example.com/ml-healthcare", "https://example.com/ai-diagnostics" ], "query": "AI diagnostic tools accuracy", "chunks_per_source": 3 }' ``` ## API Reference ### Endpoint ``` POST https://api.tavily.com/extract ``` ### Headers | Header | Value | |--------|-------| | `Authorization` | `Bearer <TAVILY_API_KEY>` | | `Content-Type` | `application/json` | ### Request Body | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `urls` | array | Required | URLs to extract (max 20) | | `query` | string | null | Reranks chunks by relevance | | `chunks_per_source` | integer | 3 | Chunks per URL (1-5, requires query) | | `extract_depth` | string | `"basic"` | `basic` or `advanced` (for JS pages) | | `format` | string | `"markdown"` | `markdown` or `text` | | `include_images` | boolean | false | Include image URLs | | `timeout` | float | varies | Max wait (1-60 seconds) | ### Response Format ```json { "results": [ { "url": "https://example.com/article", "raw_content": "# Article Title\n\nContent..." } ], "failed_results": [], "response_time": 2.3 } ``` ## Extract Depth | Depth | When to Use | |-------|-------------| | `basic` | Simple text extraction, faster | | `advanced` | Dynamic/JS-rendered pages, tables, structured data | ## Examples ### Single URL Extraction ```bash curl --request POST \ --url https://api.tavily.com/extract \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $TAVILY_API_KEY" \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "urls": ["https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html"], "extract_depth": "basic" }' ``` ### Targeted Extraction with Query ```bash curl --request POST \ --url https://api.tavily.com/extract \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $TAVILY_API_KEY" \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "urls": [ "https://example.com/react-hooks", "https://example.com/react-state" ], "query": "useState and useEffect patterns", "chunks_per_source": 2 }' ``` ### JavaScript-Heavy Pages ```bash curl --request POST \ --url https://api.tavily.com/extract \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $TAVILY_API_KEY" \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "urls": ["https://app.example.com/dashboard"], "extract_depth": "advanced", "timeout": 60 }' ``` ### Batch Extraction ```bash curl --request POST \ --url https://api.tavily.com/extract \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $TAVILY_API_KEY" \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "urls": [ "https://example.com/page1", "https://example.com/page2", "https://example.com/page3", "https://example.com/page4", "https://example.com/page5" ], "extract_depth": "basic" }' ``` ## Tips - **Max 20 URLs per request** - batch larger lists - **Use `query` + `chunks_per_source`** to get only relevant content - **Try `basic` first**, fall back to `advanced` if content is missing - **Set longer `timeout`** for slow pages (up to 60s) - **Check `failed_results`** for URLs that couldn't be extracted
