## 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-text-as-markdown-b42e29af
```

Example prompt: Can you grab all the readable text from https://example.com/article and give it back to me as a markdown list so I can process it further?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need all readable body text from a single web page returned as a structured Markdown list, without needing a browser or JavaScript rendering. It is ideal for text-focused agent pipelines where you want clean, structured prose content rather than structured HTML elements like headings, links, or tables separately. Use it over HTML-dumping scrapers when your downstream pipeline expects Markdown-formatted input.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — extraction fails with an error
- Page has no readable body text (e.g. pure JavaScript SPA with no server-rendered content) — returns empty list
- Invalid or malformed URL input — request rejected
- Page blocks server-side crawlers via robots.txt or anti-bot measures — extraction may return partial or no content
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — call not processed

## How this service works

Extract the page's text as markdown: fetches the URL, pulls every text element (readable body text) 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 readable body text elements found on the fetched page, along with a total count of how many text elements were extracted.
