Tavily extract

Skill Neetx/ai-research-radar/.claude/skills/tavily-extract

Extract clean markdown or text from specific URLs via the Tavily CLI. Use this skill whenever a URL must be opened to be cited — papers, changelogs, release pages, blog posts, docs — including JavaScript-rendered pages. Processes up to 20 URLs per call and supports query-focused chunking for long pages.From its SKILL.md

tavily extract

Extract clean markdown/text content from one or more URLs. In this repo, "opened" means extracted with this skill (or fetched with a built-in web tool) — only opened URLs are citable as evidence.

Before running any command

Check tvly --status. If tvly is not on PATH:

pip install -q tavily-cli || uv tool install tavily-cli

Auth comes from the TAVILY_API_KEY environment variable (already set in this environment). Never print it. If it is unset, report that and fall back to the built-in web tools.

Quick start

# Single URL
tvly extract "https://example.com/article" --json

# Batch (max 20 per call)
tvly extract "https://arxiv.org/abs/XXXX.XXXXX" "https://github.com/org/repo" --json

# Long pages: only the relevant chunks
tvly extract "https://example.com/docs" --query "release date changelog" --chunks-per-source 3 --json

# JS-heavy pages
tvly extract "https://app.example.com" --extract-depth advanced --json

Key options

Option	Description
`--query` + `--chunks-per-source`	Return only chunks relevant to a query (1–5 per URL)
`--extract-depth`	`basic` (default, try first) or `advanced` (JS-rendered pages)
`--format`	`markdown` (default) or `text`
`--timeout`	1–60 seconds for slow pages
`--json` / `-o FILE`	Structured output / save to file

Tips

Always quote URLs (shell interprets ? and &).
Try basic first; escalate to advanced only if content is missing.
arXiv abs pages often hide authors/dates in the extraction — cross-check exact metadata with curl -sL 'https://export.arxiv.org/api/query?id_list=...' (see radar-source-verify).
If a search already used --include-raw-content, skip the extract step.
