Dedicated site parsers

POST /crawl works on any public URL through a generic extraction chain. For a small set of mainstream sites, Search1API also maintains dedicated handling that returns cleaner, more structured output than generic extraction — article-like Markdown plus site-specific metadata.

How dedicated handling works

Dedicated handling takes two forms:

• Dedicated HTML parsers read the rendered page structure directly and map site-specific elements (author, publish date, body, counts) into a consistent result shape.
• Dedicated feed or API paths read a site's own structured data source instead of the HTML page — for example, Reddit URLs are served through Reddit's public Atom feeds, which return post bodies and comment threads without an account or OAuth app.

When a dedicated path cannot serve a request, enableFallback lets the request fall back to browser-rendered extraction. The response still succeeds, but its content may include surrounding page chrome rather than the cleaner dedicated output.

Support is verified per URL pattern

Coverage is measured by URL shape, not by domain. A landing page for a site lists only the URL patterns verified with real requests — a site may support posts and listings while other sections remain unsupported or login-walled. Pages that require authentication return an honest error instead of fabricated content.

Sites with dedicated handling

Each linked page documents the verified URL patterns, a real request example, and real response output for that site.
