## 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-web-scraping-via-x402-b06d913d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch and read the content of this page for me: https://example.com/article — I need the full text scraped from that URL.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your AI agent needs to fetch live web page content on demand without managing subscriptions or API keys, and you want to pay per request in USDC via x402. Ideal for one-off or low-volume web reads in agentic workflows.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status
- Invalid or malformed URL provided in request
- Payment in USDC not completed or insufficient — x402 payment required
- Target website blocks scraping or returns CAPTCHA
- Timeout if target server is slow to respond
