## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 400860-data-api-web-scrape-extract-0efe39f5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape the main article text from https://example.com/post using the selector '.article-body' and limit the output to 2000 characters.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract a specific element from a public webpage by CSS selector and want to pay per-call with no subscription. It is well-suited for agent workflows that need lightweight, targeted extraction rather than full-page crawls, especially in DeFi or Web3 contexts where x402 micropayment rails are already in use.

## Known failure modes

- Selector matches nothing on the page — returns empty result or error
- Target URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — request fails
- JavaScript-rendered content not accessible — static scraper may miss dynamic elements
- maxLength truncates content unexpectedly if set too low
- Rate limiting or bot protection on target site blocks the fetch
- Invalid CSS selector syntax causes a parsing error

## How this service works

x402-native paid API tools for DeFi yields, protocol TVL, AI pricing, paid MCP calls, and web scraping.

## Output

A JSON object containing the extracted content matched by the provided CSS selector on the target URL — typically text, HTML, or attribute values from the selected element(s). The response structure is flexible and may include the raw extracted string and metadata about the match.
