## 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 crawol-web-extraction-bcae09a2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the content from https://example.com/article and return the structured data from that page?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to fetch and extract content from an arbitrary URL without setting up API keys or subscriptions — ideal for one-off or pay-as-you-go scraping scenarios where USDC micropayment via x402 is acceptable. Prefer it for lightweight, real-time web content retrieval tasks in agentic workflows.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — success: false with no data
- Invalid or malformed URL input — likely a 400 or validation error
- Target page blocks scraping (e.g. bot protection) — may return empty or partial data
- Payment failure via x402 — request blocked before processing
- Timeout on slow or heavy pages — partial or no data returned
