## 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 arch-tools-browser-task-070892ec -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Go to https://example.com/products, click the 'Add to Cart' button for the first item, then navigate to the cart page and capture the total price — run that as a browser task sequence for me.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to automate multi-step browser interactions that require sequential actions like clicking, typing, or navigating — especially when the target page requires JavaScript rendering or user interaction before data is accessible. Prefer it over static scrapers when the content is behind dynamic UI interactions or form submissions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable starting URL returns an error
- Malformed steps array or unsupported action types cause execution failure
- Page elements not found during action execution (selector mismatch)
- Session timeout if page load or actions take too long
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance on Base)
- JavaScript-heavy pages may not render fully before actions execute

## How this service works
