## 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 cerawal-web-crawler-32fd5d12 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape the content from https://example.com and crawl up to 5 pages starting from that seed URL so I can see what's on the site.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to access live web content from a specific URL without requiring API keys, subscriptions, or OAuth setup. It is ideal for one-off or infrequent scraping tasks billed per-request in USDC via x402, especially when the agent needs to traverse multiple linked pages from a seed URL.

## Known failure modes

- Seed URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 response — success: false
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC via x402 — HTTP 402 Payment Required
- maxPages set to 0 or negative — may return empty or error
- Target site blocks crawling (robots.txt, rate limiting, Cloudflare) — partial or empty data
- Malformed URL input — validation error or failed crawl

## How this service works

Web scraping and search for AI agents. No auth, no subscriptions. Pay per request in USDC via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'success' boolean and a 'data' object containing the scraped content from the crawled pages starting at the seed URL.
