## 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 api-the402-ai-8bcf6427 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape https://example.com/products/widget-pro and pull out the product name, price, availability, and specs as structured JSON?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract specific structured fields from a web page and want a clean JSON result without building your own scraper. Prefer it over raw HTML fetching when you need normalized, schema-conformant output. Useful when paying per-call via x402 crypto microtransactions is acceptable and you want a managed, hosted extraction service.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is inaccessible or returns non-200 (extraction fails, error returned)
- Page requires JavaScript rendering that cannot be handled (incomplete extraction)
- Requested fields not present on the page (empty or null values in output)
- Payment via x402 fails or is insufficient (402 response, no extraction performed)
- Rate limiting or anti-bot measures on target site (extraction blocked)
