# Read URL
Read and extract content from a web page or PDF. Follow `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/content-extraction/SKILL.md` for the provider fallback chain and the extraction modes. See CONNECTORS.md for provider mapping.
## Process
1. **Detect content type** from URL:
- `.pdf` → use PDF extraction
- Regular URL → use ~~scrape with fallback
2. **Read content** with fallback (~~scrape):
```
Try each provider: Jina → Firecrawl → Exa fetch (maxCharacters: 20000)
On error → next provider automatically
Long page and a specific question? pass it as `question` to get only the relevant passages
```
3. **Optional extras:**
- `--format screenshot` → capture page screenshot
- `--format json` → structured JSON extraction (~~extract, one URL per call)
- Check publish date → detect page date
4. **Display** extracted content with source URL and date.
## Example Usage
```
/read-url https://example.com/article
/read-url https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.00001
/read-url https://spa-app.com/page --format screenshot
```
