# Convert Web Page to Markdown

*The following example is a request we've prebuilt to demonstrate Gaffa's capabilities on our* [*demo site.*](https://demo.gaffa.dev) ***You can run this request right now in the*** [***Gaffa API Playground***](https://gaffa.dev/dashboard/playground?templateId=article_to_markdown)***.***

Gaffa converts web pages to clean markdown, stripping away styling, scripts, and images. This optimises content for LLM applications by reducing credit usage while preserving essential information.

## API Request
