If not installed: npm install -g defuddle

Usage

Always use --md for markdown output:

defuddle parse <url> --md

Save to file:

defuddle parse <url> --md -o content.md

Extract specific metadata:

defuddle parse <url> -p title
defuddle parse <url> -p description
defuddle parse <url> -p domain

Output formats

Flag Format
--md Markdown (default choice)
--json JSON with both HTML and markdown
(none) HTML
-p <name> Specific metadata property
