## 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 article-text-extractor-7cd2c532 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you grab just the article text from https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/01/15/openai-board-drama — I want just the story, no menus or ads.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need only the readable article body from a webpage and want all surrounding noise (ads, nav, footers) stripped automatically. Prefer this over the generic web scrape endpoint when the target is a news article, blog post, or editorial page and you want clean prose output. If you also need metadata (title, OG tags) or links, use the sibling metadata or link-extraction endpoints instead.

## Known failure modes

- URL is behind a paywall or login wall — content may be empty or a login page snippet
- Target site blocks scrapers — may return empty text or an error
- URL points to a non-article page (homepage, search page) — may return minimal or garbled text
- Invalid or non-public URL — request fails
- Article uses heavy JavaScript rendering — static fetch may miss dynamically loaded content

## How this service works

Main article text only - strips navigation, footers, sidebars and ads

## Output

Returns the main article body as clean plain text, with navigation menus, footers, sidebars, advertisements, and other page boilerplate removed. The response contains only the editorial/story content of the target URL.
