## Capability Overview
A Jina AI Reader proxy service deployed on AWS Lambda that fetches and parses target web page content via JWT authentication, automatically removes noise such as ads, navigation, and scripts, and returns structured Markdown text.
| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| Endpoint | `GET https://app-bo4w33bsdqm9-api-ELbWqODdAgNY-gateway.appmiaoda.com/{url}` |
| Response Format | `text/plain` (Markdown by default) |
| Authentication | platform_managed (`INTEGRATIONS_API_KEY`) |
**Path Parameters:**
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `url` | string | Yes | The full URL of the target web page, appended directly after the Base URL |
**Optional Request Headers (output behavior control):**
| Header | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `X-Return-Format` | string | Return format: `markdown` (default) / `html` / `text` / `screenshot` / `pageshot` |
| `X-With-Images-Summary` | boolean | Whether to append an image description summary |
| `X-With-Links-Summary` | boolean | Whether to append a links summary |
| `X-Target-Selector` | string | CSS selector to extract content from specific elements only |
| `X-Remove-Selector` | string | CSS selector to remove specific elements |
| `X-Timeout` | number | Page load timeout (seconds) |
| `X-No-Cache` | boolean | Set to `true` to disable cache and force re-fetch |
| `Accept` | string | Set to `text/event-stream` to enable streaming response (SSE) |
**Response Example:**
```
Title: Example Domain
URL Source: http://example.com
Markdown Content:
# Example Domain
This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents...
```
**Response Headers:**
| Header | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `Content-Type` | `text/plain; charset=utf-8` |
| `x-usage-tokens` | Number of tokens consumed by this request |
| `cf-cache-status` | Cloudflare cache status |
| `x-amzn-RequestId` | AWS Lambda request ID |
**Error Codes:**
| HTTP Status | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| 200 | Success; response body is the parsed Markdown text |
| 401 | JWT Token missing or invalid |
| 403 | Token valid but target URL is blocked by GFW |

## Generation-Phase Usage (Direct Agent Invocation)
```typescript
const apiKey = process.env["INTEGRATIONS_API_KEY"]!; // platform_managed key injected by the platform
/**
* Fetches the target web page and returns its content in Markdown format.
* @param targetUrl - The full URL of the target web page
* @param options - Optional output control parameters
* @param options.returnFormat - Return format, default is markdown
* @param options.withImagesSummary - Whether to append an image summary
* @param options.withLinksSummary - Whether to append a links summary
* @param options.targetSelector - CSS selector to extract specific elements only
* @param options.removeSelector - CSS selector to remove specific elements
* @param options.timeout - Page load timeout (seconds)
* @param options.noCache - Whether to disable cache
* @param options.accept - Accept request header; set to `text/event-stream` to enable SSE streaming mode, default is `text/html`
* @returns The web page's Markdown text content (non-streaming) or an SSE stream (streaming)
*/

const markdown = await fetchWebPage("https://example.com", {

## Post-Generation Usage (Invocation via Edge Function within the App)
### Edge Function Code
```typescript
// edge-functions/web-reader.ts
import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std/http/server.ts";
serve(async (req: Request): Promise<Response> => {
/**
* Web Reader Edge Function
* Receives frontend requests, injects the platform API key, and forwards them to the upstream Jina Reader service.
* Request body: { url: string, options?: {...} }
* Response: { content: string }
*/
if (req.method !== "POST") {
return new Response("Method Not Allowed", { status: 405 });
}
// --- Parse client request ---
let targetUrl: string;
let returnFormat: string | undefined;
let withImagesSummary: boolean | undefined;
let withLinksSummary: boolean | undefined;
let targetSelector: string | undefined;
let removeSelector: string | undefined;
let timeout: number | undefined;
let noCache: boolean | undefined;
try {
const body = await req.json();
targetUrl = body.url;
if (!targetUrl) throw new Error("Missing url");
returnFormat = body.returnFormat;
withImagesSummary = body.withImagesSummary;
withLinksSummary = body.withLinksSummary;
targetSelector = body.targetSelector;
removeSelector = body.removeSelector;
timeout = body.timeout;
noCache = body.noCache;
} catch {
return new Response(JSON.stringify({ error: "Invalid request body" }), {
status: 400,
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
});
}
// --- Inject platform API key (must never be exposed to the frontend) ---
const apiKey = Deno.env.get("INTEGRATIONS_API_KEY");
if (!apiKey) {
return new Response(JSON.stringify({ error: "Server configuration error" }), {
status: 500,
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
});
}
// --- Build request headers ---
const upstreamHeaders: Record<string, string> = {
"X-Gateway-Authorization": `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
};
if (returnFormat) upstreamHeaders["X-Return-Format"] = returnFormat;
if (withImagesSummary !== undefined) {
upstreamHeaders["X-With-Images-Summary"] = String(withImagesSummary);
}
if (withLinksSummary !== undefined) {
upstreamHeaders["X-With-Links-Summary"] = String(withLinksSummary);
}
if (targetSelector) upstreamHeaders["X-Target-Selector"] = targetSelector;
if (removeSelector) upstreamHeaders["X-Remove-Selector"] = removeSelector;
if (timeout !== undefined) upstreamHeaders["X-Timeout"] = String(timeout);
if (noCache) upstreamHeaders["X-No-Cache"] = "true";
// --- Call upstream service ---
const encodedUrl = encodeURIComponent(targetUrl);
const upstream = await fetch(
`https://app-bo4w33bsdqm9-api-ELbWqODdAgNY-gateway.appmiaoda.com/${encodedUrl}`,
{ method: "GET", headers: upstreamHeaders }
);
// Forward authentication/filtering errors
if (upstream.status === 401 || upstream.status === 403) {
const errText = await upstream.text();
return new Response(JSON.stringify({ error: errText || `Upstream error: ${upstream.status}` }), {
status: upstream.status,
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
});
}
// Forward quota/balance errors
if (upstream.status === 429 || upstream.status === 402) {
const errText = await upstream.text();
return new Response(errText, {
status: upstream.status,
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
});
}
if (!upstream.ok) {
return new Response(
JSON.stringify({ error: `Upstream error: ${upstream.status}` }),
{ status: 502, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" } }
);
}
const content = await upstream.text();
return new Response(JSON.stringify({ content }), {
status: 200,
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
});
});
```
### Frontend Client Code (Web / MiniProgram Universal)
**Recommended approach (when supabase client is available):**
```typescript
/**
* Fetches web page content via Edge Function.
* @param url - The full URL of the target web page
* @param options - Optional output control parameters
* @returns Web page Markdown text
*/
async function fetchWebPage(
url: string,
options?: {
returnFormat?: "markdown" | "html" | "text" | "screenshot" | "pageshot";
withImagesSummary?: boolean;
withLinksSummary?: boolean;
targetSelector?: string;
removeSelector?: string;
timeout?: number;
noCache?: boolean;
}
): Promise<string> {
const { data, error } = await supabase.functions.invoke("web-reader", {
body: { url, ...options },
});
if (error) throw error;
if (!data?.content) throw new Error("Response content is empty");
return data.content;
}
```
**Fallback approach (when supabase client is unavailable):**
```typescript
/**
* Fetches web page content via Edge Function using native fetch.
* @param url - The full URL of the target web page
* @param options - Optional output control parameters
* @returns Web page Markdown text
*/
async function fetchWebPage(
url: string,
options?: {
returnFormat?: "markdown" | "html" | "text";
withImagesSummary?: boolean;
withLinksSummary?: boolean;
targetSelector?: string;
removeSelector?: string;
timeout?: number;
noCache?: boolean;
}
): Promise<string> {
const res = await fetch(`${import.meta.env.VITE_SUPABASE_URL}/functions/v1/web-reader`, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ url, ...options }),
});
if (res.status === 429) {
const err = await res.json();
throw new Error(`Quota exhausted: ${err.message ?? res.statusText}`);
}
if (res.status === 402) {
const err = await res.json();
throw new Error(`Insufficient balance: ${err.message ?? res.statusText}`);
}
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${res.status}`);
const json = await res.json();
if (!json.content) throw new Error("Response content is empty");
return json.content;
}
```
