## 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 clear-agent-fetch-52a33ee8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the content of https://example.com/article and give it to me as clean, readable markdown?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract the main readable body of a standard server-rendered HTML web page and want it delivered as clean Markdown. It is ideal for article pages, documentation, and blog posts. Prefer this over generic HTTP-fetch tools when you want Readability-style noise removal (stripping navbars, ads, footers) combined with Markdown formatting. Note: it will not work for JavaScript-heavy SPAs that render content client-side only.

## Known failure modes

- JS-only shells (SPAs without server-rendered HTML) fail and return an error, but are not billed
- Invalid or non-public URLs return an error
- Paywalled or login-required pages may return incomplete or no content
- Network timeouts if the target URL is slow or unavailable
- Binary files or non-HTML content types (PDFs, images) may not parse correctly

## How this service works

x402 fetch URL markdown. Pay USDC get page as markdown. No local browser. $0.005 USDC on Base via x402 / PayAI. Sign, we fetch the public HTML, cash only if you got the markdown.

## Output

Returns the main readable content of the target webpage as clean Markdown text, with boilerplate, navigation, ads, and surrounding HTML stripped away using Mozilla Readability and Turndown. JS-rendered single-page apps that require JavaScript execution will fail and not be billed.
