LeanCrawl is an API-first web data service built for developers and AI agents. It turns
any public web page into clean Markdown, rendered HTML, extracted links, screenshots,
PDFs, or structured JSON — and can crawl whole sites or monitor pages for changes.

## Architecture in one line

`POST https://api.leancrawl.com/v1/{endpoint}` with `Authorization: Bearer ac-…`.
Every response uses a single envelope — see [Errors](https://leancrawl.com/docs/errors).
