Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 ishob-markdown-to-document-renderer-7ffce3c4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this markdown report — including the tables and code blocks — and render it as a styled A4 PDF with page numbers; use this custom CSS to make the headings navy blue, and name the file 'quarterly-summary.pdf'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to convert agent-generated or user-supplied Markdown into a polished, downloadable document (PDF, DOCX, or HTML) with custom styling, correct page sizing, and page numbers — especially in automated pipelines where no human has a local document editor. It is particularly well-suited for AI agents that produce structured reports (with tables, code blocks, and headings) and need to deliver a professional file to an end user via a download link, without any dependency on local software or browser-based rendering.

## Known failure modes

- Markdown exceeds 200,000 character limit — request rejected with validation error
- CSS exceeds 50,000 character limit — request rejected
- Invalid format enum value — returns 400 with schema error
- External image URLs in markdown are ignored (only inline data: URIs are embedded)
- Download link expires after 24 hours — subsequent access returns 404
- Malformed markdown may produce unexpected rendering artifacts in PDF output

## How this service works

Render Markdown (tables, code, lists, headings) into a styled PDF (custom CSS, A4/Letter/Legal, page numbers), a Word DOCX or standalone HTML; returns a private download link valid for 24 hours. External resources are never fetched (inline data: images only).

## Output

A JSON object containing the output format, file size in bytes, number of pages (for PDF), an expiry timestamp (24 hours from generation), and a private download URL pointing to the rendered PDF, DOCX, or HTML file hosted on ISHOB's servers.
