# Parse a local HTML file (requires token)
mineru-open-api extract page.html -o ./out/

# Parse a remote HTML URL (requires token)
mineru-open-api extract https://example.com/page.html -o ./out/

# Parse a live web page (requires token)
mineru-open-api crawl https://example.com/article -o ./out/

mineru-open-api auth             # Interactive token setup
export MINERU_TOKEN="your-token" # Or via environment variable
