# Browser Run's /snapshot Grabs Four Page Formats in One Shot with formats!

Hey there, it's me, Shiichan!

Today I found a handy little update for anyone who wants to feed web page content to an AI, so let me share it.

## What was announced?

This comes from the [Cloudflare Changelog](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/). The [Browser Run](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/) [/snapshot endpoint](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/snapshot/) now accepts a `formats` parameter. With it, you can retrieve multiple page representations in a single API request.

The endpoint can now return four formats:

- screenshot
- markdown
- accessibility tree
- HTML (the original format)

## The story so far

Until now, `/snapshot` could only return HTML and screenshots. If you wanted a Markdown version or a structured view of the page, you needed a different approach.

## What changes

The best part is how well this fits AI workflows. The original post puts it this way:

> Markdown provides a token-efficient representation of page content that LLMs can process directly, without parsing HTML markup.

So Markdown gives you a token-efficient representation that an LLM can handle as-is, without parsing HTML markup. Cutting down that overhead when you pass page content to an LLM is really nice.

The accessibility tree, meanwhile, returns a structured representation of the page's elements, including roles, labels, and hierarchy.

## Dive Deep

There's one rule to keep in mind: you must request at least two formats in the `formats` parameter. If you only need a single format, the design points you to the dedicated [/screenshot](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/screenshot-endpoint/) or [/markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/markdown-endpoint/) endpoints instead.

## Wrap-up

- `/snapshot` gains a `formats` parameter to fetch multiple representations in one request
- You can get screenshot, markdown, accessibility tree, and HTML
- Markdown is token-efficient and easy for an LLM to process directly
- The accessibility tree is a structured view with roles, labels, and hierarchy
- You must request at least two formats; use the dedicated endpoints for a single one

This one is a perfect fit if you're building a pipeline that feeds web pages to an AI agent!
