## 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 crawl-archive-lookup-a3cf40b5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you find the archived version of https://example.com/some-page for me — I need to see what that page looked like even if it's been taken down?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve a cached or archived snapshot of a URL — especially when the live page may be unavailable, paywalled, or changed. Prefer this over live scraping when historical content is acceptable and you want a pay-per-request model with no subscription required.

## Known failure modes

- URL not found in any archive — returns success: false with empty data
- Invalid or malformed URL input causes a 400-level error
- No archive exists for the requested URL
- Payment failure via x402 prevents request from completing
- Timeout if the archive source is slow to respond

## 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 indicating whether the archive was found, and a 'data' object containing the archived page content or metadata for the requested URL.
