One call, no signup POST /v1/markdown → text/markdown

Anonymous calls run at 40 an hour against your address. A free key raises that and works from anywhere.

# No key needed. Paste this as it is.
# response=text gives you text/markdown down the pipe; leave it off and
# you get the document plus what was taken off the page to produce it.
curl -X POST https://shots.rendershed.com/v1/markdown \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "theguardian.com/international", "response": "text"}'

# Compare it with the same page fetched raw — the consent copy is in there,
# because display:none keeps a banner out of a picture, not out of the DOM.
