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 apify-rag-web-browser-actor-cd9cc1da -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google for 'best practices for LLM fine-tuning' and scrape the top 5 result pages using a full browser so I can use the content in my RAG pipeline.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real web browser-rendered content from top Google search results for RAG pipelines or AI agent context — especially when JavaScript-heavy pages require full browser rendering rather than simple HTTP fetches. Prefer this over plain HTTP scrapers when pages rely on client-side rendering.

## Known failure modes

- Search query returns no results — empty content array
- Target pages block scraping — partial or missing content for some URLs
- Actor run times out for complex or slow-loading pages
- Invalid or missing query parameter — 400 error
- Insufficient USDC balance — payment failure before actor starts
- Polling token expires before results are ready

## How this service works

Start the "RAG Web Browser" Apify actor (apify/rag-web-browser). Web search and fetch tool for AI agents and RAG pipelines. It queries Google Search, scrapes the top N pages using a full web browser, and returns their conten… Returns a signed token for polling /api/actors/results with SIWX.

## Output

Returns a signed token for polling /api/actors/results with SIWX, and eventually the scraped text content of the top N Google search result pages as processed by a real web browser
