## 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 extract-external-links-as-markdown-9ca9e8b4
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the external links from https://example.com/blog/my-article and give them to me as a markdown list so I can see which sites they're linking out to?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a clean, structured Markdown list of external links from a single webpage without setting up a browser or full scraper. It is ideal for agents and pipelines that need quick, cheap ($0.01/call) link extraction with a built-in count, and when the output format must be Markdown-ready. Prefer the bulk sibling endpoint if you need to process multiple URLs at once.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — endpoint may return an error or empty result
- Page has no external links — returns an empty list with a count of zero
- URL is malformed or missing — request validation error
- Page requires JavaScript rendering — since no browser is used, dynamically loaded links may be missed
- Rate limiting or access restrictions on the target page may prevent fetching

## How this service works

Extract the page's external links as markdown: fetches the URL, pulls every external links element and returns them as a Markdown list, with a count. Structured, one-element-type extraction for agents and pipelines; no browser needed. $0.01 per page.

## Output

A Markdown-formatted list of all external links found on the fetched page, along with a count of how many external links were discovered. Each link is presented as a Markdown list item, ready for display or downstream processing.
