## 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 agentpay-web-scrape-86ff4637 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the content from https://example.com/article and pull out all the readable text so I can summarize it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs quick, keyless web content extraction paid per-call via USDC micropayments (x402), especially in serverless or ephemeral contexts where managing API credentials is undesirable. It is ideal for one-off URL scrapes where you want raw text and word count without setting up a full scraping infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status — scrape fails with an error
- Page uses heavy JavaScript rendering that server-side scraping cannot execute — content may be empty or partial
- Payment via x402/USDC fails or wallet has insufficient balance — request is rejected with 402
- URL points to a PDF or binary file rather than an HTML page — content extraction may fail
- Anti-scraping measures (CAPTCHA, bot detection) on the target site block the request

## How this service works

Pay-per-call AI services via the 402 Payment Required protocol. No accounts, no API keys — just USDC on Base.

## Output

A JSON object containing the scraped page's title (string), the cleaned main text content (string), and the total word count (number). No HTML — just the readable text extracted from the page.
