## 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 engedi-digi-life17-reader-api-url-text-extractor-e1c77500
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the clean readable text from this article for me? Here's the URL: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-12345678

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need clean, human-readable plain text from an arbitrary URL — ideal for feeding article content into an LLM, summarizing a webpage, or extracting article body text. Prefer this over the sibling Markdown endpoint when you want raw text rather than formatted Markdown output. Good for news articles, blog posts, and any public web page where the main content needs to be isolated from surrounding HTML noise.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL returns an error or success:false
- Paywalled or login-required pages may return partial or empty content
- Dynamic JavaScript-heavy pages may yield incomplete text if client-side rendering is required
- Timeout if the target URL is slow or unreachable
- Rate-limit or payment failure returns 402 or related error
