    Choose main content or full page

    Choose the part of a public HTML page you need before starting the paid extraction. Full-page extraction includes more of the supplied HTML; it does not turn extraction into an interactive browser.

    Choose a scope​

    You need active paid Zilch access and a public HTTP or HTTPS page you are permitted to read.

    1. Open Zilch and choose Read a page.
    2. Enter the public page URL.
    3. Leave Main content selected for an article or central document. Clear it when navigation, surrounding links or other page sections are part of your task.
    4. Leave JavaScript off. Hosted extraction reads static HTML; full-page scope does not enable scripts, sign-in or form interaction.
    5. Choose Read page once and retain the operation ID.

    Check the chosen result​

    Wait for completed, then compare the title and headings with the section you intended to keep. Inspect the source URL, warnings and truncated. A fuller result can contain repetitive menus or unrelated links; a shorter main-content result can omit a relevant sidebar. Neither length nor a successful HTTP response proves completeness.

    If the scope is wrong, preserve the original result first. Changing scope is a deliberate new extraction, not a retry of the original body. Do not reuse the original idempotency key with changed options. If the desired text is loaded only by scripts, see static-page boundaries rather than repeatedly changing scope.
