Jina Reader & Search Skill

Two APIs, zero API key required (optional key for higher rate limits).

Reader — Fetch a URL as Markdown

Simple (shell):

curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/<URL>"

With script:

python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_read.py <URL>
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_read.py <URL> --no-images   # strip images
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_read.py <URL> --json        # structured JSON response

With API key (set in .env):

JINA_API_KEY=your_key python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_read.py <URL>

Useful request headers (for direct curl):

Header	Purpose
`Authorization: Bearer <key>`	Higher rate limits
`X-Return-Format: markdown`	Force markdown output
`X-Remove-Selector: img`	Strip images
`Accept: application/json`	JSON response with title, url, content

Search — Web Search via Jina

Simple (shell):

curl -s "https://s.jina.ai/<URL-encoded-query>"

With script:

python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_search.py "your query"
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_search.py "your query" --json
python3 skills/jina-reader/scripts/jina_search.py "your query" --json --results 3

API Key

API	Without Key	With Key
Reader (`r.jina.ai`)	✅ Works (rate-limited)	Higher limits
Search (`s.jina.ai`)	❌ Requires key	✅ Works

Store as JINA_API_KEY in .env. Get a free key at: https://jina.ai/api-dashboard

No key for search? Use the duckduckgo-search skill as a fallback.

Notes

Reader works on most pages including JS-heavy sites
Search returns up to 5 results by default, each with title, URL, and content summary
For very long pages, use --no-images to reduce token usage
