## 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 agentsvc-io-web-scrape-408f6166 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the content of https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/15/openai-news/ and give me the full article text as Markdown? Also include any links found on the page.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to retrieve and read the textual content of any public webpage, especially when you want clean Markdown output suitable for LLM processing. It's ideal for one-off page fetches without needing to manage API keys or subscriptions. Use the render:true option for JavaScript-heavy single-page apps. Prefer this over general browser automation tools when you just need readable text content and links, not full DOM interaction.

## Known failure modes

- Non-public or paywalled URLs may return incomplete content or access errors
- JavaScript-heavy pages without render:true may return empty or minimal content
- Pages that block scrapers via robots.txt or CAPTCHAs may fail or return partial data
- Very large pages truncated at max_chars limit may lose important content
- URLs that return non-200 HTTP status codes will reflect that in the status field
- Network timeouts for slow-loading pages may cause fetch failures
