## 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 manylives-text-field-extractor-d67305bd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull out the invoice number, vendor name, total amount, and due date from this text: 'Invoice 1042 from Acme Pty Ltd. Total due AUD 120.00 by 1 November 2026.'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract specific named fields from arbitrary free-form text (invoices, contracts, emails, receipts) without writing custom parsing logic. It's pay-per-call with no account setup required, making it ideal for low-volume or ad-hoc extraction tasks in agent pipelines. Prefer it over general LLM prompting when you want a consistent, schema-aligned JSON response with explicitly named field extraction.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 20,000 character limit — request will be rejected
- Fields parameter missing or empty — required, must be comma-separated field names
- Requested field not present in the text — value may be null or absent from response
- Ambiguous text may yield incorrect field values with no confidence score
- Payment of 0.01 USDC not fulfilled — 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed JSON body — 400 error

## How this service works

Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'fields' array where each element has a 'name' (the requested field name) and 'value' (the extracted value found in the text). Fields not found in the text may be omitted or returned with null values.
