## 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 baby-blue-viper-browse-web-fetch-screenshot-0a71f53c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the full page text from https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/01/some-article using extract_text action at tier 1 — I need the readable content without HTML tags.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to fetch live web content, extract readable text from a page, capture a visual screenshot, or automate multi-step browser interactions — especially within a Lightning Network / x402 pay-per-use agent pipeline. Prefer over generic HTTP fetch when you need screenshot capability, tiered execution, or structured browser automation steps alongside payment-native agent workflows.

- Tier specified is out of range — returns schema validation error
- Target site blocks bots or returns non-200 — status reflects failure
- max_bytes exceeded or content too large — truncated or error response
- multi_step steps malformed — returns parsing error
