## 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 delx-html-strip-18646e87 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this HTML snippet and strip out all the tags so I just have the plain readable text: '<h1>Hello World</h1><p>This is a <strong>test</strong> paragraph.</p>'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call HTML-to-text conversion without managing a parsing library. It is ideal for agent pipelines that occasionally need to clean HTML snippets before feeding content to an LLM, storing to a database, or displaying to a user, and where spinning up a full headless browser or HTML parser is overkill.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing HTML input returns an error or empty string
- Malformed HTML may cause partial stripping or unexpected output
- Very large HTML payloads may be rejected or time out
- Non-HTML input (e.g. plain text already) is returned unchanged or with minimal transformation
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in HTTP 402

## How this service works

Strip HTML tags to plain text for $0.001 USDC. Call when you need this bounded result without an API key or subscription. Returns machine-readable JSON via x402 on Base or Solana. Limitation: results cover only the supplied input or one bounded public endpoint at request time; callers must verify before acting.

## Output

Returns the input HTML with all tags removed, yielding clean plain text. Whitespace and visible content are preserved while all HTML elements, attributes, and markup syntax are stripped out.
