## 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`):

```

Example prompt: Pull the clean article text from this page — title, author, and body only, no ads or sidebars: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-12345678

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract clean, readable article text from a public URL or raw HTML and want crawl-permission compliance built in. Ideal for feeding LLM pipelines, building article archives, or preparing content for translation or TTS — especially when you want ads, menus, and boilerplate stripped automatically at low per-call cost ($0.005 USDC).

## Known failure modes

- URL is behind a paywall or login wall — content cannot be retrieved
- Site's robots.txt or crawl rules disallow access — pre-crawl permission check blocks the request
- URL points to a non-article page (homepage, search results) — no meaningful article body extracted
- Malformed or inaccessible URL — returns an error
- HTML input is too minimal or empty to extract meaningful content
- Network timeout reaching the target URL

## How this service works

Readable-article extraction API: strips a public web page down to its title, author line, and main body text, discarding menus, ads, and sidebars. A pre-crawl permission check runs first, honoring each site's crawl rules. Useful for building article archives, feeding LLM pipelines, or preparing pages for text-to-speech and translation.

## Output

Returns the article's title, author line, and main body text stripped of navigation, advertisements, sidebars, and other non-content elements, ready for downstream use in LLM pipelines, summarization, translation, or text-to-speech.
