Overview

Inspect rendered HTML, scripts, meta tags, and response clues to identify common frameworks, platforms, analytics, and CDNs. This first-party Better Fetch tool turns a focused request into predictable structured output that can be inspected in the web workspace, exported as JSON or CSV, called through REST, or composed by an AI agent over MCP. It is designed for repeatable production research rather than fragile copy-and-paste scraping.

It returns normalized structured fields documented in the output schema, plus the fetched source URL and a record count for receipts and exports.

Does this tool store the retrieved output?

No. Better Fetch records privacy-safe run metadata for reliability and retention analysis, but the output payload itself is not stored by the workspace.
