## 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 defi-intel-financial-paywall-reader-9c3d9a38 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the full text of this Financial Times article for me — headline, body, author, and date — without hitting the paywall? Here's the URL: https://ft.com/content/some-article-id

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to read the full text of a specific financial news article that is behind a soft paywall and you need structured output (headline, body, author, date) rather than raw HTML. Prefer this over a generic web scraper when the target is a financial news outlet and clean, LLM-ready text is required. Do not use for hard-paywalled content requiring authentication or for bulk crawling.

## Known failure modes

- Hard paywalls (requiring login or subscription) will not be bypassed — endpoint is explicitly for soft paywalls only
- Invalid or malformed URL returns an error with no content
- Article may have been removed or moved, resulting in a 404 or empty body
- Bot-detection upgrades on the target site may occasionally block extraction
- Non-financial or non-article URLs may return incomplete or irrelevant content

## How this service works

Read the visible portion of a financial news article (bypassing soft-paywalls) as clean text. Returns headline + body + author + date. DO NOT use for hard-paywalled or illegal redistribution.

## Output

Returns a structured object containing the article headline, full body text, author name, and publication date extracted from the visible portion of the soft-paywalled financial news page, stripped of ads and markup.
