# AgentWork Web Markdown — URL to Markdown Converter

> AgentWork Web Markdown — URL to Markdown Converter is a paid API for AI agents from api.agentwork.run, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Fetches a public URL and returns its content as clean Markdown text, with JavaScript rendering support and SHA-256 fingerprinting for change detection.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 agentwork-web-markdown-url-to-markdown-converter-a416f7e7
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://docs.stripe.com/api and convert it to clean markdown so I can use it as context — limit to 20000 characters.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to convert a public webpage into clean Markdown or plain text for downstream RAG, research, or agent context — especially when the page uses JavaScript rendering. Prefer this over generic scraping tools when you also need SHA-256 fingerprinting for change detection, when you want a no-API-key x402 USDC micropayment flow on Base, or when you need to optionally scope content with a CSS selector.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 status — endpoint returns ok:false
- URL is behind a login wall or CAPTCHA — content may be incomplete or empty
- JavaScript rendering fails for complex SPAs — javascript_rendered returns false
- PDF or binary file submitted instead of an HTML URL — use the PDF endpoint instead
- URL-encoded URL parameter missing or malformed — returns 400 validation error
- max_chars too small (below 1000) or exceeds 60000 — schema validation error
- Timeout on slow-loading pages — may return partial content or error

## How this service works

Web read / URL to markdown (batch, JavaScript rendering), PDF text extraction and website change monitoring for agents. From $0.003 per URL on Base. x402 USDC, no API key.

## Output

A JSON object containing: 'ok' (boolean success flag), 'url' (requested URL), 'markdown' (full Markdown-formatted page content), 'text' (plain text version), 'title' (page title), 'final_url' (after redirects), 'fetched_at' (ISO timestamp), 'text_sha256' and 'markdown_sha256' (fingerprints for change detection), and 'javascript_rendered' (boolean indicating if JS rendering was used).
