For developers and agents

Any page as Markdown, any file at a link

Add an ending to a short link and get its page as Markdown, text, JSON or a PDF. Put a file on the web with one curl. The same from the REST API and the MCP server.

What you get

For developers

  • Pages for agents

    The article as Markdown, the page's facts and citations as JSON, its tables as CSV.

  • Files in one request

    curl -T answers with a short link that converts on demand.

  • Fast

    No browser in the request path; saved copies fill in seconds later.

  • MCP

    save_page, drop_file and the link tools for any assistant.

In code

# Any page as Markdown (the first request saves it)
curl https://snip.link/<code>.md

# The page's facts, words and citations as JSON
curl https://snip.link/<code>.json

# Any file on the web
curl -T report.pdf https://snip.link

Questions

Questions developers ask.

Shorten a link

Do I need a key?

Not for public links' formats or for curl -T. An API key puts what you make in your account and lifts the limits.

How fast is it?

Creating a link answers in milliseconds; a saved copy fills in a few seconds later, and wait: true holds the answer until it is ready.

Is there an OpenAPI spec?

Yes, at https://snip.link/openapi.json, and an llms.txt at https://snip.link/llms.txt.

Is there a rate limit?

Per key: 2 requests a second on Free, 10 on Pro. Past it, the answer says when to try again (Retry-After).
