## 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 august-table-extraction-api-02a6742c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you parse this messy copied table from our Q3 expense report into clean JSON rows with consistent column headers? Here's the text: 'Item | Qty | Price\nWidget 2 4.50\nGadget 1 12.00'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have tabular text (pasted tables, financial statements, reports, CSV-ish fragments) that regex-based or rule-based parsers fail on due to ragged formatting — it handles inconsistencies that simple string splitting cannot. Prefer it over general-purpose JSON extraction endpoints when the primary structure is tabular rows and columns rather than nested or schema-defined JSON. At $0.05 per call it is substantially cheaper than cloud document intelligence services (~$15/1,000 pages).

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous or completely unstructured text with no detectable tabular pattern may return empty rows or misaligned columns
- Extremely ragged multi-header tables may merge or drop columns
- Very large text inputs may time out or be truncated
- Non-ASCII or heavily encoded text may cause column detection errors

## How this service works

Turn tabular text — pasted tables, statements, reports, CSV-ish fragments — into clean JSON rows with consistent column names. Handles ragged formatting that regex-based parsers break on. The cloud equivalent for table extraction bills around $15 per 1,000 pages.

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'rows' array (each row is an object with normalized column names as keys and cell values as strings) and a 'columns' array listing the detected column names in order. For example: {"rows":[{"Qty":"2","Item":"Widget","Price":"4.50"}],"columns":["Item","Qty","Price"]}.
