# LaunchNests — Markdown Content Catalog

> Every public page and entity on LaunchNests is available as `text/markdown`.

## How to Fetch

Either send `Accept: text/markdown` on any canonical HTML URL:

```bash
curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://www.launchnests.com/
curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://www.launchnests.com/tools/<slug>
curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://www.launchnests.com/products/<slug>
```

…or address `/api/md/<path>` or append `.md` to the URL:

```bash
curl https://www.launchnests.com/tools/<slug>.md
curl https://www.launchnests.com/products/<slug>.md
curl https://www.launchnests.com/api/md/tools/<slug>
curl https://www.launchnests.com/api/md/products/<slug>
curl https://www.launchnests.com/api/md/catalog
```

## Markdown Response Headers

Every markdown twin returns:
- `Content-Location`: Canonical HTML URL of the resource.
- `X-Markdown-Tokens`: Approximate token count (~4 chars/token) for LLM context budgeting.
- `X-AEO-Version`: Dualmark AEO Spec version (1.0.0).
- `X-Robots-Tag: noindex, follow`: Instructs search bots that the canonical HTML twin is the indexed entity.
- `Vary: Accept, Origin`: Ensures reverse-proxy and CDN caching keys on representation.
