Web to Markdown Converter

Convert any web page to clean Markdown format using Jina AI's reader service.

Process

When a user requests to convert a web page to Markdown:

  1. Extract the URL from the user's request
  2. Construct Jina URL: Prepend https://r.jina.ai/ before the user's URL
  3. Fetch with curl: Use curl to retrieve the Markdown content
  4. Save to file: Write the content to /mnt/user-data/outputs/{filename}.md
  5. Provide download link: Give the user a link to the generated file

Command Template

curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/{USER_URL}" > /mnt/user-data/outputs/{filename}.md

Example Workflow

User request: "Convert https://example.com/article into markdown"

Execute:

curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/https://example.com/article" > /mnt/user-data/outputs/article.md

Then provide link: computer:///mnt/user-data/outputs/article.md

Filename Generation

Generate a sensible filename from the URL:

  • Use the last path segment if available (e.g., article from /articles/article)
  • Remove any file extensions from the URL
  • Sanitize by replacing special characters with underscores or hyphens
  • Add .md extension
  • If user specifies a custom filename, use that instead
