# read.isthe.link
A basic functionality readability almost-clone. This service will *try* to search for the body of the content to a URL, and represent it stripped back and with minimal styling.
## Usage
Send your URL to https://read.isthe.link via a query string, and so long as the URL is publically available (i.e. not behind login), then the page can be re-rendered:
https://read.isthe.link?url=https://remysharp.com/node
The page will be cached for a period of time, so subsequent requests will be faster.
## Usage with private URLs
You can `POST` a `body` to the service and it will give you a hashed URL to redirect to. For example:
```js
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', 'https://read.isthe.link');
xhr.setRequestHeader('content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xhr.setRequestHeader('referrer', window.location);
xhr.onload = () => {
const res = JSON.parse(xhr.response);
window.location = `https://read.isthe.link?url=${res.url}`;
}
xhr.send(`body=${encodeURIComponent(document.documentElement.innerHTML)}`);
```
