## 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-html-to-markdown-converter-bbe1d652 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert this HTML into clean markdown for me: '<h1>Hello World</h1><p>This is a <strong>test</strong> paragraph with a <a href="https://example.com">link</a>.</p>'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-call HTML-to-Markdown conversion without managing your own parsing infrastructure. It is ideal for agent pipelines that need to prepare web content for LLM consumption, especially when you want a simple API call rather than running a local library like Turndown or Pandoc. The URL fetch option makes it convenient for converting live web pages in a single step.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed HTML may produce garbled or incomplete markdown output
- If a URL is provided but is unreachable or returns a non-HTML response, the conversion will fail
- Missing required 'html' field (when no URL is supplied) will return a validation error
- Very large HTML documents may hit size limits or cause timeouts
- URLs behind authentication or paywalls may not be accessible for fetching
