How this service works
Agent-native fetch API
Output
Returns the main readable content of the target webpage converted to markdown, stripping navigation, ads, and boilerplate. Includes the extracted article body as structured markdown text. On failure, returns a structured error with a code, HTTP status, and human-readable message describing what went wrong (e.g. payment required, blocked by robots.txt, upstream error, unsupported content type, or empty extraction).
Example use cases
Research article summarization
“Grab the full article text from https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07487-w and give it to me as markdown so I can summarize the key findings.”
Competitor blog monitoring
“Fetch the latest post at https://blog.anthropic.com/claude-3-5-sonnet and pull out the main content as markdown — I want to see what they announced.”
Documentation ingestion for agent
“Retrieve the content from https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges and convert it to markdown so I can feed it into my knowledge base.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://get402.ai/v1/fetch?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to retrieve and read the main textual content of a public webpage and want it returned in clean markdown format, without building your own scraping infrastructure. It is ideal for agents that need to ingest web articles, documentation pages, or blog posts for summarization, analysis, or knowledge base ingestion. Prefer it over raw HTTP fetch tools when you want automatic boilerplate removal and markdown conversion in a single call. Not suitable for pages behind authentication, private IP ranges, or non-HTML content like PDFs or binary files.
Side effects
- payment_required (402): No payment proof provided — must include x402 payment header
- payment_invalid (402): Payment proof sent but verification failed
- invalid_url (400): URL missing, relative, or malformed — must be absolute http/https
- blocked_target (400): Target is a private, link-local, or metadata IP address, or on deny list
- blocked_by_robots (403): Target's robots.txt disallows the get402 user agent
- rate_limited (429): Per-caller, per-host, or per-payer rate limit hit — check Retry-After header
- upstream_failed (502/504): DNS, connect, TLS, or read failure before a response was received
- upstream_error (502): Target server returned a 4xx or 5xx response
- too_large (422): Body exceeded the size cap before content could be extracted
- unsupported_content (422): Body is not HTML or plain text
- extraction_empty (422): Page fetched successfully but no article body could be extracted
