# Aile Web Scrape via AI Model Exchange

> Aile Web Scrape via AI Model Exchange is a paid API for AI agents from api.aile.sh, paid per call via x402, $0.00304/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Scrapes a URL and returns markdown content by routing the request through a rented AI model (e.g. Firecrawl) via the Aile token-metered exchange, settling payment in USDC on Solana.

## 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 aile-web-scrape-via-ai-model-exchange-8cc1d33a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape https://example.com/article and give me the main content as markdown using the firecrawl/scrape model?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-call web scraping without managing your own Firecrawl subscription, and want per-call USDC micropayment settlement. Ideal for agents that scrape intermittently and want access to premium scraping models (Firecrawl and others) via a neutral exchange without long-term API key commitments.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error or empty markdown
- Model identifier not found or not available via GET /v1/models causes a 404 or model error
- PDF pages exceed max_pdf_pages limit, truncating content
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure and request rejection
- Timeout if wait_for exceeds page load time, returning partial content
- Country code not recognized returns a validation error

## How this service works

Rent trusted AI models priced per token; lend idle subscriptions and API keys. A live, metered market that settles every call in USDC on Solana.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the scraped URL, the model used, an object type label ('scrape'), the full page content rendered as markdown, and metadata including the page title.
