## 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-text-05466b67
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the external links from https://example.com and give me a plain text list with a count of how many there are?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, structured plain-text list of external links from a single page without a browser. Ideal for pipelines, agents, or SEO audits where you want only outbound links in a parseable line-by-line format. Prefer this over full-page scrapers when you only need external links and want to minimize response size and cost.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — extraction fails with an error
- Page has no external links — returns empty list with count of 0
- URL redirects to a login-gated page — extracted links may be from the login page rather than the intended content
- Malformed or missing URL input — returns validation error
- Rate limits or blocks from target server may cause fetch failure

## How this service works

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

## Output

A plain-text response containing one external link per line extracted from the fetched webpage, along with a count of total external links found. No browser or JavaScript rendering is required.
