## 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 machine-shop-webpage-metadata-extractor-8135b079 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the metadata from https://example.com — I need the page title, description, canonical URL, and language?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, lightweight extraction of standard webpage metadata (title, description, language, canonical URL, meta tags) from a supplied URL without needing full page scraping or content analysis. It is ideal for SEO checks, link previews, content cataloguing, and metadata validation workflows where you already have the URL and want structured page-level signals quickly and cheaply at $0.006 per call.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status — metadata fields may be empty or endpoint may return an error
- Malformed or non-URL string input — validation error returned
- Page has no meta tags or title — metadata fields returned as empty strings or empty objects
- URL exceeds 2048 character limit — rejected with validation error
- JavaScript-rendered pages may return incomplete metadata if the page requires client-side rendering
