## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-strale-io-5ff0dce7
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the return policy from https://www.zappos.com — I need to know the return window, any conditions or exclusions, and the steps to actually make a return?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve and structure a retailer's return policy from their website, especially in agent workflows involving purchase decisions, customer support automation, or comparison shopping. Prefer this over manual scraping or generic web search when you need clean, structured policy fields (window, conditions, exclusions, steps) ready for downstream logic.

## Known failure modes

- Retailer URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 status — extraction fails
- Website does not have a clearly defined return policy page — may return empty or partial results
- Policy is embedded in a complex JavaScript-rendered page — extraction may be incomplete
- URL parameter missing — returns 400 bad request
- Retailer blocks automated access (bot protection) — extraction fails
