# AgentRead Feed URL Fetcher

> AgentRead Feed URL Fetcher is a paid API for AI agents from agentread.midi-thumb.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Fetches the text content of a URL that the calling agent's own HTTP request failed on (403, 429, empty body, JS shell), returning either page text or an explanation of why it cannot be read.

## 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 agentread-feed-url-fetcher-8ec0679f
```

Example prompt: I just got a 403 trying to fetch https://example.com/article — can you use AgentRead to get me the text of that page?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint specifically when your own HTTP fetch attempt has already failed with a 403, 429, empty body, or JavaScript shell response. It is purpose-built for agent error-recovery on web access, not as a primary scraper. Prefer it over generic scraping proxies when you want a fast, pay-per-call fallback that also gives you an intelligible verdict when even this service cannot read the page.

## Known failure modes

- URL is behind a login wall and content cannot be retrieved — returns a verdict explaining authentication is required
- Page uses CAPTCHA protection that cannot be bypassed — returns a verdict indicating human verification is needed
- URL does not exist or returns a 404 — returns an error or verdict
- Target server is completely unreachable — returns a timeout or connectivity error verdict
- Page content is genuinely empty or has no extractable text — returns an empty body verdict

## How this service works

Read a URL your own fetch failed on and get the page text back, or a verdict explaining why it cannot be read. Built for agents that just got a 403, 429, empty body or JS shell.

## Output

Returns the full extracted text content of the requested webpage if it can be read, or a structured verdict message explaining why the page cannot be accessed (e.g. paywall, CAPTCHA, login required, truly inaccessible).
