Turn Public Website Pages into Markdown for RAG
A bounded workflow for taking permitted static HTML, converting it to clean Markdown, and checking the result before indexing it for AI search.
Start with the documented example, check live Apify pricing, then decide whether to run it.
Try the Markdown / RAG crawler →1. Check authorization and robots.txt
Only process publicly accessible URLs that you are entitled to use. Respect published robot policies and website terms; do not access private resources.
2. Start with one small page
The PAL Markdown Actor accepts complete HTTPS start URLs. Set a one-page limit and crawl depth zero for a first check. The live pricing page explains what successful results cost.
3. Review Markdown and provenance
Inspect the returned title, original URL, word count and Markdown. Confirm that output is accurate and that the site does not rely on JavaScript-only rendering.
4. Split text into useful AI chunks
Use the generated AI-ready chunks only after checking the source and content quality. Attach source URL provenance to avoid unsupported retrieval-augmented responses.
5. Scale only if necessary
The Actor limits a run to 50 pages with depth 0–2. It does not log in, bypass robots.txt or render blocked dynamic websites. Configure spend limits and inspect failures.
Keep the first test small
Use an authorized example, inspect the dataset, check whether the Actor meets your workflow, and review any charges. If it does not work on your site, do not interpret missing data as a real stock or price change.
