Does it extract all text or just the main content?

You get both: a cleaned "main content" version (boilerplate removed) and the full raw page text. Both are included in the result ZIP.

Does it work on JavaScript-rendered pages?

Yes. Switch to Dynamic (JS) rendering mode to extract text from SPAs and JavaScript-heavy pages.

What format is the output?

Main text is saved as content/main_text.txt in your ZIP. The full result JSON also includes the text with heading hierarchy.

Can I extract text from multiple pages?

Yes — use Site Crawl or Bulk Scan mode to extract text from multiple URLs in one job. Each page gets its own text file.
