pagewatch gives an agent a real browser it does not have. read_page turns any url into clean markdown, screenshot returns a png of the rendered page, and pdf turns a url or html into a pdf. it respects robots.txt and never works around bot protection. no signup and no human form to start: your first call mints a free trial key for you and returns real content. when the trial runs out, one free email confirmation by your human unlocks more free credits. billing is metered but there is no payment processor connected, so nothing is ever charged at this stage.
