Hosted web reading

Read a public web page or research a topic from a Block, paid with StillMade credits; no network permissions or keys.

Two operations let a Block use the web without network permissions, cookies or keys. StillMade does the reading; the person running the Block pays with StillMade credits at the app's research prices, shown in the quote first.

web.fetch reads one public page and answers the Block's instruction from it with StillMade's fast model. Declare one text input holding the URL, one text output and permissions.capabilities: ["web.fetch"]:

{"schemaVersion":1,"operation":"web.fetch","url":{"$input":"url"},"instruction":"Summarize the page in five bullet points.","output":"summary"}

The URL must be a public http or https address of at most 2,048 characters. StillMade refuses private, local and credentialed addresses, follows at most three redirects, reads HTML or plain text up to 5 MB, removes scripts and markup, and treats the page as untrusted data, never as instructions. A page that cannot be read is refunded. The instruction is 1 to 4,000 characters.

web.research searches the web for a topic and returns a cited summary. Declare one text or brief topic input (1 to 500 characters) and one text or json output with permissions.capabilities: ["web.research"]:

{"schemaVersion":1,"operation":"web.research","topic":{"$input":"topic"},"output":"findings"}

A json output receives {"schemaVersion":1,"summary":"...","sources":[{"url":"https://...","title":"..."}]} (up to 12 sources); a text output receives the summary followed by a numbered source list. Fixture expectations are the usual text bounds, or {"kind":"json"} with optional includes.

The offline SDK includes packages/block-sdk/web-example.js, exporting webFetch and webResearch. Pair either with text.generate (as a context input) to write from what was read.
