## 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 gate402-stealth-anti-bot-web-scraper-67b02083 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the content from this Cloudflare-protected page — it blocks normal scrapers — and give me the clean text: https://example.com/protected-article

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint over standard web fetch endpoints (like gate402's basic URL fetcher) when the target URL is protected by Cloudflare, serves a JS challenge page, requires CAPTCHA solving, or actively blocks datacenter IPs. This is the stealth-grade option for the hardest targets, using rotating residential proxies rather than standard proxy infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Target site uses anti-bot measures that defeat even residential proxies — returns partial or empty content
- CAPTCHA solving fails on novel or highly customized challenge types
- Page requires authenticated session or login that the scraper cannot provide
- Target URL is unreachable or returns a server error regardless of proxy
- Rendering timeout on extremely slow or complex JavaScript applications

## How this service works

Anti-bot fetch for Cloudflare / JS-heavy protected pages: routed through rotating residential proxies with automatic JS rendering and CAPTCHA solving, returned as clean LLM-ready Markdown. Best-effort on the hardest targets.

## Output

Clean LLM-ready Markdown text of the target page's content, with navigation, ads, and boilerplate stripped. Delivered on a best-effort basis for the most heavily protected targets.
