## 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 agent-utility-network-web-page-reader-f556fd99 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you read the content of https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-12345678 and give me up to 5000 characters of text from that page?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read the plain text of a specific public web page by URL, especially for summarization, fact-checking, or content extraction tasks. It is ideal for lightweight, per-page reads rather than full-site crawls. Prefer this over general search APIs when you already have the URL and need the actual page content, not search results.

## Known failure modes

- Page returns non-200 HTTP status (e.g. 404 Not Found, 403 Forbidden) — reflected in the status field
- URL is unreachable or times out — may return an error or empty text
- Content is behind authentication or a paywall — only publicly visible text is returned
- JavaScript-rendered content may not be captured if the page requires a browser to execute JS
- Text truncated if page content exceeds maxChars limit — truncated field will be true
- Invalid or malformed URL input — request rejected with validation error
