    How It Works

    1

    Provide a URL or upload an HTML file.

    2

    Scripts, styles, navigation, and boilerplate elements are removed.

    3

    Main content is identified using readability heuristics.

    4

    Semantic structure (headings, paragraphs, lists) is preserved as plain text.

    5

    Clean text is returned with optional metadata extraction.

    Code Examples

    import os, requests
    
    API = "https://api.mixpeek.com"
    H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['MIXPEEK_API_KEY']}",
         "X-Namespace": os.environ["NAMESPACE_ID"]}
    
    # 1. a bucket, with a schema that declares the field you will send
    bucket = requests.post(f"{API}/v1/buckets", headers=H, json={
        "bucket_name": "html-inputs",
        "bucket_schema": {"properties": {"html": {"type": "text"}}},
    }).json()
    
    # 2. land the file as an object. the URL goes in data, on the blob
    requests.post(f"{API}/v1/buckets/{bucket['bucket_id']}/objects", headers=H, json={
        "key_prefix": "run-1",
        "blobs": [{"property": "html", "type": "text",
                   "data": "https://example.com/page.html"}],
    })
    
    # 3. a collection over that bucket, running the extractor
    collection = requests.post(f"{API}/v1/collections", headers=H, json={
        "collection_name": "html-to-text",
        "source": {"type": "bucket", "bucket_ids": [bucket["bucket_id"]]},
        "feature_extractor": {"feature_extractor_name": "web_scraper", "version": "v1"},
    }).json()
    
    # 4. run extraction over the bucket
    requests.post(f"{API}/v1/buckets/{bucket['bucket_id']}/batches", headers=H, json={
        "collection_ids": [collection["collection_id"]],
        "auto_submit": True,
    })
    
    # 5. read the output
    docs = requests.get(
        f"{API}/v1/collections/{collection['collection_id']}/documents", headers=H
    ).json()
    print(docs)
