## 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 bitcoin-benji-ai-scrape-lightning-paid-web-content-extraction-ce6eab2b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape the content from https://example.com/bitcoin-news and pull out the main article text — I'll pay per call via Lightning, no subscription needed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need anonymous, pay-per-call web scraping with no API key registration or subscription, especially in agentic workflows that already handle L402/Lightning payments. Ideal for infrequent or unpredictable scraping needs where a recurring subscription would be wasteful, or when operating in a Bitcoin-native payments context.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or L402 challenge not met — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or unreachable URL — returns error indicating fetch failure
- Target site blocks scraping (bot protection, Cloudflare) — returns partial or empty content
- Malformed POST body missing the URL parameter — returns 400 Bad Request
- Target page requires authentication — content may be missing or login page returned
