ReadGZH alternatives

ReadGZH converts accessible public WeChat Official Account article links into cleaned HTML or Markdown for AI tools, through a web reader, a REST API, or remote MCP. Most alternatives here are general web-extraction APIs rather than article readers, so weigh the content type, output format, and whether you need crawling, proxies, self-hosting, or a paid plan.
