## 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 402scrape-web-content-extractor-17593874 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the content from https://example.com/article and give me back clean markdown — it's a JavaScript-rendered page so make sure to use headless browser rendering.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need clean, agent-ready text from a specific public URL — especially for RAG ingestion, LLM context windows, or research workflows. It excels at stripping boilerplate and supports JavaScript rendering for dynamic single-page apps. Prefer it over generic HTTP fetch when you need structured or markdown output without post-processing.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status — extraction fails with an error
- JavaScript rendering timeout on slow or complex pages
- Paywalled or login-gated content cannot be accessed — returns only publicly visible content
- Anti-scraping protections (CAPTCHAs, bot detection) may block extraction
- Malformed or extremely large pages may cause parsing errors

## How this service works

Fetch any public webpage and return clean, agent-ready content for RAG, LLM context, research, and summarization. Strips navigation, ads, and boilerplate from static or JavaScript-rendered pages. Supports markdown, plain text, or structured JSON output.

## Output

Returns the cleaned content of the requested webpage in the specified format (markdown, plain text, or JSON), with navigation menus, advertisements, headers, footers, and other boilerplate removed. For JavaScript-rendered pages, a headless browser is used to fully execute the page before extraction.
