When to Use

• Search + Read: After Tavily/desearch finds URLs, use this to read the actual content
• Twitter/X: Most tools can't handle Twitter, this one can
• Paywalled sites: Works on many sites that require login
• SPA/JS-heavy pages: Use --wait-ms to let scripts run

Notes

• No API key required
• Rate limits may apply for heavy usage
• For pagination, you may need to fetch multiple pages manually
