## 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-web-reader-d49c759c
```

Example prompt: Can you read the article at https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/01/ai-agents-future/677123/ and give me the full readable text, keeping up to 60000 characters?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, clean plain-text extraction from a known public URL — especially for articles, documentation, blog posts, or any static or server-rendered page. It is ideal when you want title, description, links, and readable body in one call without running a browser. Prefer this over headless-browser scraping when the page is server-rendered; if the page is a JavaScript-only SPA, the 422 response signals you need a different tool.

## Known failure modes

- 422 Unprocessable Entity — page has no readable text (JavaScript-only SPA); not charged
- Unreachable or non-existent URL returns an error
- Redirects are not followed, so redirect targets may not be fetched
- Content may be truncated at the specified maxChars limit
- Pages behind authentication or paywalls return no useful content

## How this service works

Read any public web page as clean text: title, description, canonical URL, the readable body with scripts, styles and navigation stripped, the first 50 links resolved to absolute URLs, and a word count. One URL in, up to 100,000 characters out; redirects are not followed, and a page with no readable text (JavaScript-only) is 422 and not charged. Pay-per-call via x402. An empty body is answered for the published example page (https://example.com/); send {"url":"https://…"} for any other page.

## Output

Returns the page title, meta description, canonical URL, readable body text (with scripts, styles, ads, and navigation stripped), up to the first 50 links resolved to absolute URLs, and a word count. Capped at up to 100,000 characters. Returns a 422 error (uncharged) if the page has no readable text (e.g. JavaScript-only rendered pages).
