## 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 mart402-pdf-to-structured-markdown-parser-ecb3e131 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you parse this PDF into structured Markdown for me? Here's the URL: https://example.com/report.pdf — it's a scanned document so make sure OCR is used.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need reliable PDF-to-Markdown conversion, especially for Japanese-language documents or scanned PDFs requiring OCR with accuracy verification. Prefer over generic OCR tools when hallucination guarding (dual-engine consensus) matters, or when you want flat per-document pricing for text PDFs. Use the free /v1/parse/quote endpoint first if you want a cost preview before committing.

## Known failure modes

- URL is inaccessible or returns a non-PDF file — parse fails with an error
- Scanned PDF with very low image quality may produce degraded OCR output despite hallucination guard
- Quote ID expired or invalid — request rejected
- Password-protected PDFs cannot be processed
- Extremely large PDFs may time out or require pre-quoting via /v1/parse/quote

## How this service works

PDF parsing: PDF to structured Markdown. Send {url} (this 402 is the exact quote) or a quote_id from the free /v1/parse/quote; flat $0.01/doc for text PDFs, $0.015/page for scanned OCR with hallucination guard (dual-engine consensus). Japanese-strong.

## Output

Structured Markdown representation of the PDF content. For text-based PDFs, direct conversion at $0.01/doc. For scanned PDFs, OCR output with dual-engine consensus hallucination guard at $0.015/page. Japanese-language documents handled with particular accuracy. Returns the document's content in hierarchical Markdown preserving headings, paragraphs, and structure.
