n8n-nodes-tokenmarkdown

An official n8n community node for TokenMarkdown. Strip 90% to 95% of HTML bloat, cookie banners, tracking iframes, and scripts from any webpage or PDF, converting raw web content into pure, LLM-ready Markdown before sending it into your AI workflows.

⚡ Why Use TokenMarkdown in n8n?

Sending raw HTML or generic scraping output directly into OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini burns massive token budgets and pollutes LLM context windows with junk:

• Slash Token Bills by 85–95%: A standard documentation or blog page is often 200KB–800KB of raw HTML (~50k–200k tokens). TokenMarkdown extracts the semantic core, delivering 2k–5k tokens.
• Eliminate Context Pollution: Prevents hallucinations caused by cookie consent banners, header navigation links, ads, footer disclaimers, and embedded scripts.
• Deterministic AST Extraction: Powered by an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) parsing engine designed specifically for RAG embeddings and LLM ingestion.
• Zero Runtime Dependencies: The node has zero external runtime dependencies (dependencies: {}), ensuring rapid execution and rock-solid stability in both cloud and self-hosted n8n environments.
