## 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 gateway-apiosk-com-web-extraction-url-to-markdown-a359f1ed -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the content of https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/15/openai-news and give it to me as clean markdown so I can read and summarize it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve and read the content of a specific web page in a clean, structured Markdown format — ideal for summarization, analysis, or feeding into an LLM. Prefer this over raw HTML fetching when you want human-readable, boilerplate-free content. It is best for publicly accessible pages that do not require authentication.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — extraction fails with an error response
- URL is behind a login wall or CAPTCHA — content may be empty or incomplete
- Malformed or non-absolute URL input — validation error returned
- Page is JavaScript-rendered (SPA) and content may not be fully captured
- Network timeout if the target URL is slow to respond

## How this service works

Fetch a URL, strip noise (script/style/nav/footer/cookie banners) and return the page title plus markdown-ish text (headings as #..######, paragraphs/list-items as lines). Not a full HTML-to-MD conversion.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the original URL, the page's title, and the full page content converted to clean Markdown. The markdown is stripped of navigation, ads, and other boilerplate, leaving the core readable content.
