## 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 avo-cado-read-web-page-to-markdown-converter-dd5403fc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the article at https://example.com/article and convert it to clean markdown so I can read and summarize its contents.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call web page to clean Markdown conversion with no account setup, no API keys, and automatic robots.txt compliance. Ideal for AI agent pipelines that need to read arbitrary URLs on-demand without subscribing to a monthly plan. Prefer this over alternatives when micropayment via USDC on Base (x402) is acceptable and when robots.txt respect is a requirement.

## Known failure modes

- robots.txt disallows the target URL — request returns an error and no charge is applied
- Target page is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — fetch fails and no charge is applied
- Invalid or malformed URL input — request rejected
- Payment insufficient or x402 protocol handshake fails — request not processed
- Target page has no extractable text content — returns empty or minimal markdown

## How this service works

Web page to clean Markdown for AI agents. Pay per call with USDC on Base via x402: no accounts, no API keys. Respects robots.txt; you are not charged if the page cannot be fetched.

## Output

Returns a JSON object confirming service health (ok: true, pong: true), the current UTC timestamp, and the service identifier. For actual page conversion calls, the agent receives the fetched web page rendered as clean, LLM-ready Markdown. If robots.txt disallows the page, the request is not charged.
