## 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 httpay-xyz-62a1c474 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch and give me the readable text content from https://example.com/some-article — I need to know what's on that page.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read the content of a specific URL at runtime — especially in agentic workflows where the agent must access live web content it cannot otherwise retrieve. Prefer this over browser automation tools when you just need readable text from a URL without JavaScript rendering complexity.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — scrape fails with an error
- Payment not provided — returns 402 Payment Required with instructions for x402 or MPP payment
- URL points to a non-HTML resource (PDF, binary) — content may not parse cleanly
- Rate limit exceeded on demo mode (10 calls/IP/hour) — returns error if no payment and limit hit
- Malformed URL input — returns validation error
