Could you build this?

Partial The API wrapper and x402 USDC payment flow are buildable, but reliable page-to-markdown extraction at scale depends on headless browser infrastructure, proxy and anti-bot handling, and payment verification that vibe coding alone won't make robust.

What it would actually take: Build a POST endpoint that queues URLs into a worker pool running headless Chromium (Playwright) with readability-style extraction to markdown, plus a screenshot service. Proxy rotation, anti-bot evasion, and caching are the hard parts and need ops experience. Pay-per-call billing needs on-chain verification of USDC transfers on Base, which requires someone who understands wallets and payment reconciliation.
