HTML to Text API

HTML to Text extracts clean plain text from raw HTML markup, reporting word counts and character counts. It identifies main article bodies automatically, records the extraction method used, and notes whether parsing succeeded.

The HTML to Text API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate html to text functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready html to text capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
