Jina Reader - Lava Documentation

Converts any URL to clean, LLM-ready markdown. Best for extracting readable content from web pages — article text, documentation, product pages. Unlike Serper or Brave which return search result links, Jina Reader returns the actual page content. Use jina_search for web search. 2 example endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway. See the Jina Reader API docs for full documentation.

Supports both managed (Lava’s API keys) and unmanaged (bring your own credentials) mode.

This is a catch-all provider — any valid URL under https://r.jina.ai is supported. Reader API: GET https://r.jina.ai/{url} or POST with {“url”: ”…”}. The endpoints below are curated examples.
