## 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 gedx402-browser-snapshot-4a46c28c
```

Example prompt: Grab a full rendered HTML snapshot of https://news.ycombinator.com — wait until the network is idle before capturing so all dynamic content loads.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the fully rendered (post-JavaScript) HTML of a web page without managing API keys. It's ideal for scraping JS-heavy single-page applications where a simple HTTP GET won't return meaningful content, and when you want to pay per-call with USDC across Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, World, or Solana rather than managing a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error response
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
- Timeout if the page takes too long to load or network never becomes idle
- Malformed HTML input may produce unexpected render output
- HTTPS-only URLs required; HTTP URLs may be rejected

## How this service works

x402 workers ai. pay with usdc on base, polygon, arbitrum, world, or solana. no api keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the fully rendered HTML of the requested page after JavaScript execution, e.g. {"html": "<html>...</html>"}. The HTML reflects the page's DOM state post-render, including any dynamically injected content.
