Generate Simplified DOM

Type: generate_simplified_dom

When you're looking at the DOM of a web page, there's a lot of unnecessary data that can be discarded if you are only interested in the page's elements or looking to export the data into a LLM. The generate_simplified_dom output format processes the HTML in the following way:

• Removes all links in the head

• Removes all script nodes and links to scripts

• Removes all style nodes

• Remove style attributes from all elements

• Remove all links to stylesheets

• Remove all noscript elements outside of the body

• Finds all hrefs with query strings and removes the query strings

• Important meta tags are kept, all others are removed

• Remove all alternate links

• Remove all SVG paths

• Remove empty text nodes and excessive spacing

Parameters

See universal parameters.

Usage

The following JSON captures the DOM of the page and simplifies it.

"actions": [
    {
        "type": "generate_simplified_dom"
    }
]

We are actively working to improve this and to make this process more configurable - let us know if there's something you think we can improve.
