`browserless_smart_scrape`

Pack: browserless · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/browserless/mcp

AI-assisted extraction: tries a plain HTTP fetch first and falls back to a full headless browser, returning content in the requested formats (html, markdown, links, screenshot, pdf). Best when you just want clean page content and do not know the right selectors. Example: browserless_smart_scrape({ url: “https://example.com”, formats: [“markdown”, “links”], _apiKey: “your-token” })

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`url`	string	yes	The page URL to extract
`formats`	array	no	Which formats to return: any of “html”, “markdown”, “links”, “screenshot”, “pdf” (default [“html”]). “content” (raw HTML/parsed JSON) is always returned.
`items`	string	no
`proxy`	string	no	Proxy pool: “residential” (default) or “datacenter”
`_apiKey`	string	yes	Browserless API token (sign up at https://www.browserless.io/signup)
`_host`	string	no	Optional region host override
