Making Requests

To scrape content from a website, make a POST request to the /api/fetch-content endpoint.

Here’s how you can do it using curl:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/fetch-content -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"url": "http://example.com"}'

Replace "http://example.com" with the URL of the site you want to scrape.
