# webfetch
Fetch any web page and convert it to clean, AI-ready Markdown.
## Quick start
```bash
webfetch https://example.com
webfetch https://example.com -o output.md
```
## Usage
```
webfetch <url> [options]
Options:
-m, --method <auto|ai|browser> Conversion method (default: auto)
-i, --images Retain images in output
-o, --output <file> Write to file instead of stdout
-t, --tokens Show token count header
-r, --rate-limit Show rate limit remaining
-h, --help Show help
```
## Methods
- **auto** (default) - Try fastest method first, fallback automatically
- **ai** - Use Workers AI (good for static HTML)
- **browser** - Use headless browser (for JS-heavy pages, adds ~1-2s latency)
## Examples
```bash
# Basic fetch
webfetch https://news.ycombinator.com
# JS-heavy site with browser rendering
webfetch https://spa-react-app.com -m browser
# Save to file with metadata
webfetch https://example.com -o article.md -t -r
# Include images
webfetch https://example.com -i
```
## Rate limits
500 requests per day per IP. Check `x-rate-limit-remaining` header with `-r` flag.
