## 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 crawlspur-robots-txt-url-rule-checker-eed37ce4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether the URL rule https://example.com/blog/post-123 is permitted by the site's robots.txt — I need to know if my crawler is allowed to access it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify whether a specific URL or URL rule is permitted by a site's robots.txt before crawling, especially in SEO auditing, crawler pre-flight checks, or compliance workflows. Prefer this over manual robots.txt inspection when dealing with complex rule sets or large-scale URL auditing.

## Known failure modes

- URL is malformed or exceeds 2048 characters — validation error returned
- Target site is unreachable or returns non-200 status — crawl fails
- robots.txt file is missing or inaccessible — indeterminate result
- CSS selector matches no element or multiple elements — first match used or error
- user_agent string contains invalid characters — schema validation failure
