## 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 linklens-url-metadata-text-extractor-48348b16
```

Example prompt: Can you inspect this URL for me — https://example.com/article — and pull out the page title, meta description, and the main readable text?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly extract metadata (title, description, OG tags) and readable text from any public URL without setting up a full browser or headless scraper. It is ideal for link preview generation, content summarization pipelines, SEO audits, and enriching link-sharing workflows. Prefer it over heavier scraping solutions when the target page is publicly accessible and static HTML is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- URL is behind a login or paywall — returns empty or partial content
- Page uses heavy JavaScript rendering — metadata may be incomplete since it likely only fetches static HTML
- Invalid or malformed URL — returns an error response
- URL is unreachable or times out — returns a network/timeout error
- Private or localhost URLs — rejected or return no content
- Rate limiting or bot-blocking by the target site — may return incomplete or blocked response
