## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability bismuth-scraping-ede425d3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playwright_(software) and give me the content as structured markdown, including any tables and links on the page?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Playwright-rendered content from a URL — especially for JavaScript-heavy SPAs or pages that require waiting for specific elements to load before content is visible. Prefer this over simple HTTP fetch tools when the target page uses client-side rendering. The structured markdown, link, and table output makes it immediately usable by AI agents for downstream analysis without further parsing.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL returns a 400 error
- SSRF-protected internal/private IP addresses are blocked and rejected
- CSS selector wait timeout if the specified element never appears
- Page load timeout for slow or unresponsive websites
- Non-HTTP/HTTPS URLs are rejected
- URLs exceeding 2048 characters are rejected
- Sites with bot detection may return incomplete or blocked content

## How this service works

Playwright-powered web scraping with structured markdown, links, tables, and BFS site crawl. SSRF-protected. Part of the Bismuth utility API suite for AI agents.

## Output

Returns structured content from the scraped page including the full page body rendered as markdown, all hyperlinks found on the page, and any tables in a structured format. The rendering is done via Playwright so JavaScript-heavy SPAs are fully supported. SSRF protection ensures only legitimate external URLs are fetched.
