## 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 ioswarm-io-web-fetch-b5704911 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the readable text from https://example.com/article and strip out the boilerplate so I just get the article content?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to fetch a single public web page and extract its readable text, links, or SEO metadata without setting up your own scraping infrastructure. It is ideal for agents that need one-off or ad-hoc page reads at $0.02 per call with no account required, and it gracefully communicates when a page is JS-rendered or bot-walled rather than silently returning nothing.

## Known failure modes

- JS-rendered pages are flagged as such rather than returning empty content — a browser-driven call is needed
- Bot-walled or access-restricted pages are reported as blocked rather than silently failing
- Invalid or non-absolute URLs return a validation error
- Non-public or intranet URLs cannot be fetched
- Network timeouts on slow or unresponsive servers

## How this service works

Fetch any public web page as readable text — a browser-grade fingerprint, boilerplate stripped, links kept — or just its links or its SEO metadata. Plain HTTP (JS-rendered and bot-walled pages are reported as such; a browser-driven read is a run). $0.02 per call, no account.

## Output

Returns one of three payloads depending on the 'extract' parameter: (1) boilerplate-stripped readable text with links preserved for 'text' mode; (2) a list of all anchor hrefs for 'links' mode; or (3) canonical URL, meta tags, Open Graph properties, and JSON-LD structured data for 'metadata' mode. If the page requires JavaScript or blocks bots, the response indicates this rather than returning empty content.
