APEX web reader tools (3)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postspage_extractFreeRender any public web page in a real headless Chrome and return its text. JavaScript runs first, so docs sites and single-page apps that a plain fetch returns empty come back complete. $0.009 per call (x402 on Arc/Base/Solana/X1): the full text and every outbound link. Without a payment the call returns the price and every rail we accept. Refuses private and reserved addresses and our own hosts, so it cannot be used as a proxy into a network. Sites that put a bot wall in front of their pages (Cloudflare, DataDome and the like) answer with a challenge rather than the page: the call then FAILS with `http-403` or `bot-challenge` and says so, rather than charging you for a spinner.
site_extractFreeRender a whole section of a site - up to 25 pages - in one call and get every page back as clean text, with JavaScript executed. Same host only; robots.txt is obeyed and anything it disallows is skipped and named. FREE: the crawl PLAN - exactly which pages would be fetched and what robots.txt allows - so you can see what you would get before paying. PAID ($0.14, x402 on Arc/Base/Solana/X1): every page rendered and returned. It costs more than one page because it is up to 25 real browser renders, not a lookup. If a bot wall on the site lets the first page through but blocks the rest, the call fails with `poor-yield` and names every page it could not render, instead of billing you for a list of failures.
web_readFreeRead up to 10 web pages as clean text in one call: title, description and readable body, with the final URL. A plain fetch (no JavaScript); for a rendered page use page_extract. $0.003 per call over x402 (USDC on Arc, Base or Solana, or XNT on X1). Call once without `payment` for the terms, sign them with your own wallet, call again with `payment`.
