## 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 bytemine-crawl-snapshot-0b634228 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take a snapshot of https://acmecorp.com/about right now so we can track any changes to their team page over time and diff it later.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to establish a baseline of a page's current content before monitoring it for changes. It pairs specifically with /crawl/diff and is ideal when you want to detect updates to company pages, job listings, pricing pages, or any web content over time. Prefer this over generic scraping endpoints when change tracking is the goal.

- Invalid or malformed URL provided — returns validation error
- Page is behind authentication or bot protection — snapshot returns empty or partial content
