## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability aurenic-readability-extractor-5760e007
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the main readable article text from this URL — https://example.com/some-article — strip out the ads and nav menus, and give me just the clean content?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, cheap ($0.001/call) readable content extraction from a single URL — ideal for AI pipelines that need to summarize, analyze, or process web article text. Prefer this over full-browser scrapers when the target page renders server-side HTML. It is especially useful when readability/clean-text is the goal rather than raw HTML or structured data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed base64-encoded URL returns an error
- Target URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status
- Page has no extractable readable content (e.g. pure JavaScript SPA with no SSR)
- Base64 encoding is correct but the URL is blocked or behind a paywall
- Response timeout if target page is slow to load
- Binary or non-HTML content at URL cannot be parsed into readable text

## How this service works

Web scraping and AI automation. High-performance data extraction and pay-per-call microservices.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the cleaned, readable text extracted from the target web page — typically including the article title, main body text, and possibly author/date metadata, with ads, navigation, and boilerplate removed.
