# ManyLives Web Interact – Headless Browser Automation

> ManyLives Web Interact – Headless Browser Automation is a paid API for AI agents from api.manylives.me, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Executes a sequence of browser actions (click, type, extract, scroll, etc.) on a public URL and returns rendered page text, extracted elements, and optionally a screenshot

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 manylives-web-interact-headless-browser-automation-acc3ea3d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, type 'Bitcoin' into the search input named 'search', press Enter, then extract all result headings matching '.mw-search-result-heading a' and return the page text (up to 20000 chars).

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to interact with JavaScript-rendered pages where static HTML fetching is insufficient — e.g. pages that require clicking, typing into forms, or waiting for dynamic content to load before extraction. Prefer this over simple HTTP GET scrapers when CSS-selector-targeted extraction or multi-step navigation is needed. At $0.03/call with no account required, it is well-suited for pay-per-use agent workflows needing web access without maintaining browser infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Any single failed action step rejects the entire request and no charge is made
- Page is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — returns error, not charged
- Selector not found on page — step fails, request rejected
- URL is invalid or unreachable — returns error
- More than 10 steps provided — request rejected
- Dynamic content not yet loaded when extract step runs — empty or partial results
- Site actively blocks headless browsers (bot detection) — may return blocked/empty content

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, point-in-time crypto market data and news for backtests (no lookahead), verifiable track records of 1,000 crypto strategies locked on the Base network, company profiles, quick AI and batch prices. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

A JSON object containing the rendered page text (up to max_chars), the page title, final URL after any redirects, per-step success/failure status, any extracted element text grouped by step and selector, whether the text was truncated, a list of blocked analytics requests, and optionally a base64 PNG screenshot of the final page state.
