## 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 exa-contents-api-f3c107f8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the full text content from these URLs for me: https://example.com/article1 and https://example.com/article2 — I need the clean readable text from each page.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you already have specific URLs and need to retrieve their textual content — ideal for downstream summarization, question answering over web pages, or enriching search results with full content. Pair with the sibling Exa Search endpoint when you first need to discover URLs before fetching their content.

## Known failure modes

- URL is paywalled or requires login — returns empty or partial content
- URL returns a 404 or is unreachable — endpoint returns an error for that URL
- Page is JavaScript-rendered and content cannot be extracted statically
- Rate limits exceeded — returns a rate limit error
- Invalid URL format — returns a validation error

## How this service works

Exa Contents - Retrieve content from URLs

## Output

Returns the extracted full-text content of the requested URLs, including the readable body text of each page, stripped of navigation and boilerplate where possible, allowing downstream summarization, analysis, or storage.
