Will I lose images when converting a page to Markdown?

By default, images are removed to maximize token efficiency, but you can explicitly retain them by adding the 'retain_images=true' flag to your request.

Can it scrape content from JavaScript-heavy websites?

Yes, by utilizing the 'method=browser' parameter, the skill ensures that single-page applications and React sites are fully rendered before the content is captured.

Does this skill work for websites that require a login?

No, this skill is designed for public web content. For authenticated sites or private APIs, you should use direct WebFetch methods instead.

How does this skill save tokens during web fetching?

It converts verbose HTML tags into clean Markdown syntax, which typically results in an 80% reduction in the number of tokens required to represent the same content.
