## 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 agentshelf-css-time-datetime-extractor-5aa85520 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the datetime values from the time elements on this page: https://example.com/news/article-123 — I need the machine-readable timestamps embedded in those HTML time tags.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract structured datetime values from time elements in a webpage or HTML snippet, particularly for scraping publish dates, event times, or any semantic time data authored with the HTML5 time[datetime] pattern. Prefer the free sandbox version (/v1/sandbox/css-time-datetime) for testing; use this paid endpoint in production when the sandbox is unavailable or has limitations.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 response — no content to parse
- No time[datetime] elements found in the HTML — empty result returned
- HTML input exceeds 200,000 character limit — request rejected
- URL or HTML string too short (under 8 characters) — validation error
- SSRF-protected URL (private IP range or internal host) blocked by the service
- Malformed HTML may result in incomplete or missed matches

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs time datetime values via time[datetime] from a public page or HTML (SSRF-safe). Exact $0.005 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/css-time-datetime first.

## Output

A list of datetime attribute string values extracted from all time[datetime] elements found in the provided HTML or fetched from the given URL. Values are typically ISO 8601 formatted timestamps or date strings as authored in the page markup.
