## 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-markdown-to-text-6a0510ff -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this markdown-formatted text and strip out all the formatting so I get back clean plain text: '## Hello\n\nThis is **bold** and this is _italic_ text with a [link](https://example.com).'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, low-cost ($0.001) single-call markdown-to-plaintext conversion without setting up a local library. Ideal for agents that receive markdown-formatted responses and need to relay them to plain-text surfaces like SMS, email, or search indexes.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing markdown body returns an error
- Payment failure or missing x402 payment header results in 402 response
- Extremely large input text may be rejected or time out
- Non-markdown or binary input may return unchanged or malformed output

## How this service works

Strip markdown 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 text with all markdown syntax removed — headings, bold, italics, links, code fences, bullet points, and other markdown tokens are stripped, leaving clean human-readable plain text.
