README

Webdown

A Python CLI tool for converting web pages to clean, readable Markdown format. Webdown makes it easy to download documentation and feed it into an LLM coding tool.

Why Webdown?

Clean Conversion: Produces readable Markdown without formatting artifacts
Multi-Page Crawling: Crawl entire documentation sites with webdown crawl
Selective Extraction: Target specific page sections with CSS selectors
Claude XML Format: Optimized output format for Anthropic's Claude AI models
Progress Tracking: Visual download progress for large pages with -p flag
Optimized Handling: Automatic streaming for large pages (>10MB) with no configuration required

Use Cases

Documentation for AI Coding Assistants

Webdown is particularly useful for preparing documentation to use with AI-assisted coding tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or ChatGPT:

Convert technical documentation into clean Markdown for AI context
Extract only the relevant parts of large documentation pages using CSS selectors
Strip out images and formatting that might consume token context
Generate well-structured tables of contents for better navigation

# Example: Convert API docs and store for AI coding context
webdown https://api.example.com/docs -s "main" -I -c -w 80 -o api_context.md
