## 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 fiatdock-url-to-text-9fc80374
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the content of https://example.com/article and return it as plain text so I can read what's on the page?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call way to retrieve the text content of any public URL without managing your own scraping infrastructure. It's ideal for AI agents that need to read web pages on-demand as part of a workflow, especially when you want to avoid subscription costs or infrastructure overhead. Best for public, HTML-based pages rather than JavaScript-heavy SPAs or authenticated content.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status — call is still settled as paid
- Page requires JavaScript rendering and returns minimal content
- URL points to a binary file (PDF, image) rather than an HTML page — may return empty or garbled text
- Missing or malformed required arguments result in an argument error, which is still charged
- Rate limiting or blocking by the target website
