## 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 aun-web-read-fetch-convert-public-url-to-markdown-63b80c5d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the content of https://a-upgradenet.com and give me the full page text as markdown, including all links, up to 20000 characters?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve and process the readable text content of any public web page in a clean Markdown format. It is ideal for agents that need to read documentation, articles, or landing pages without running a full browser. Prefer this over general web search APIs when you already have the URL and need the full page body, not just a snippet.

## Known failure modes

- Non-public or authentication-gated URLs return an error or empty content
- URLs that redirect to login pages return login page content instead of target
- Very large pages may hit the max_chars ceiling and return truncated content (truncated: true)
- Invalid or malformed URLs return a failure status
- Paywalled or JavaScript-rendered pages may return incomplete content
- Rate limits or server-side blocks on the target domain may cause fetch failures

## How this service works

Web Page Reader: fetches one public URL and returns clean Markdown text, title, description and links, ready for an LLM. Charged only when the page answers with real content (HTTP 2xx/3xx, non-empty); error pages and failed fetches are never charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the page's Markdown-formatted body text, page title, final (post-redirect) URL, HTTP status code, list of extracted hyperlinks (URL + anchor text), word count, content type, description, and a boolean indicating whether the content was truncated.
