# tavily extract Extract clean markdown or text content from one or more URLs. ## Before running Run extract directly when `tvly` is available. Extract supports capped keyless access, so do not look for an API key or authenticate before the first request. If `tvly` is missing, follow the [tavily-cli setup](../tavily-cli/SKILL.md#setup) before retrying. If the keyless cap is reached in an interactive session, run `tvly login` to open browser OAuth, then retry the original extraction once. In an unattended environment, report the cap and authentication options instead of starting an interactive flow. Do not start a second login immediately after guided setup has completed. ## When to use - You have a specific URL and want its content - You need text from JavaScript-rendered pages - Step 2 in the [workflow](../tavily-cli/SKILL.md): search → **extract** → map → crawl → research ## Quick start ```bash # Single URL tvly extract "https://example.com/article" --json # Multiple URLs tvly extract "https://example.com/page1" "https://example.com/page2" --json # Query-focused extraction (returns relevant chunks only) tvly extract "https://example.com/docs" --query "authentication API" --chunks-per-source 3 --json # JS-heavy pages tvly extract "https://app.example.com" --extract-depth advanced --json # Save to file tvly extract "https://example.com/article" -o article.json ``` ## Options | Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | `--query` | Rerank chunks by relevance to this query | | `--chunks-per-source` | Chunks per URL (1-5, requires `--query`) | | `--extract-depth` | `basic` (default) or `advanced` (for JS pages) | | `--format` | `markdown` (default) or `text` | | `--include-images` | Include image URLs | | `--timeout` | Max wait time (1-60 seconds) | | `-o, --output` | Save the JSON response to a file | | `--json` | Structured JSON output | ## Extract depth | Depth | When to use | |-------|-------------| | `basic` | Simple pages, fast — try this first | | `advanced` | JS-rendered SPAs, dynamic content, tables | ## Tips - **Max 20 URLs per request** — batch larger lists into multiple calls. - **Use `--query` + `--chunks-per-source`** to get only relevant content instead of full pages. - **Try `basic` first**, fall back to `advanced` if content is missing. - **Set `--timeout`** for slow pages (up to 60s). - **Inspect `failed_results` even after exit code 0.** A successful request can still return no extracted pages. Retry the affected URL with `advanced` when appropriate, otherwise report the per-URL failure instead of treating the request as complete. - If search results already contain the content you need (via `--include-raw-content`), skip the extract step. ## See also - [tavily-search](../tavily-search/SKILL.md) — find pages when you don't have a URL - [tavily-crawl](../tavily-crawl/SKILL.md) — extract content from many pages on a site
