## 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 agentreader-html-to-markdown-cleaner-56aae1b5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I already fetched the HTML for that article — can you convert it to clean markdown with all the scripts, styles, and nav clutter stripped out?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when your agent has already fetched the raw HTML of a page and only needs the conversion step — it is cheaper than a full fetch-and-clean endpoint like /read. Ideal for pipelines where HTTP fetching is handled separately or you need to process stored HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or empty HTML string returns an error response
- Extremely large HTML payloads may be rejected or truncated
- HTML with no meaningful text content may return minimal or empty markdown
- Non-HTML input (e.g. plain text or binary) may produce unexpected output

## How this service works

Convert raw HTML you already have into clean markdown. Send JSON {"html": "..."} and get back markdown with scripts, styles and boilerplate stripped. Cheaper than /read when the agent has already fetched the page.

## Output

A cleaned markdown string with scripts, stylesheets, navigation elements, ads, and other boilerplate removed, leaving only the meaningful textual content of the original HTML page.
