## 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 any-url-to-markdown-converter-1327ca93 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the content from https://example.com/report.pdf and give it to me as clean markdown? It might be a PDF, HTML page, or image — just figure out what it is and convert it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a URL that could be any of several content types (HTML, PDF, image) and you want a single call to produce clean markdown without needing to detect the type yourself or chain multiple tools. Ideal for agent workflows that ingest heterogeneous web content.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 status — extraction fails
- Unsupported content type beyond HTML/PDF/image — workflow may not branch correctly
- Malformed or non-HTTP URL input — validation error
- PDF is scanned/image-only with no extractable text — markdown may be empty or OCR-limited
- Large files may time out depending on download speed

## How this service works

Bundled execution of the Convert anything to markdown workflow - Convert anything at a URL - HTML, PDF, or an image - to clean markdown. The 'I have a URL but it might be any content-type, give me markdown either way' workflow: HEAD-detect the content-type, branch to the right deterministic extractor (article extract for HTML, pdf-to-markdown for PDFs, OCR for images), and report token/word stats on the output so the caller can budget the result against an LLM context window.

## Output

Clean markdown text extracted from the target URL. The endpoint auto-detects whether the URL points to an HTML article, PDF, or image, and applies the appropriate deterministic extractor to return well-formatted CommonMark markdown.
