Web Reading

Purpose

Converts any URL into clean Markdown text, removing ads, navigation, styling, and other distractions. Suitable for:

• Reading API documentation (tushare, OKX, yfinance, and similar)
• Reading technical articles and blogs
• Retrieving research reports and announcements
• Reading GitHub README / Wiki pages

Usage

Call the read_url tool directly (do not use bash + requests, call the tool directly):

read_url(url="https://tushare.pro/document/2?doc_id=27")

Returns JSON:

{
  "status": "ok",
  "title": "Page title",
  "url": "Original URL",
  "content": "Page content in Markdown format",
  "length": 12345
}

Notes

• Content longer than 8000 characters will be truncated, with the total length noted at the end
• Some websites may block Jina Reader (returning HTTP 451). In that case, fall back to bash + requests
• Dynamically rendered SPA pages may return only skeleton HTML
• Chinese content is supported normally
