## 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 mekler-ai-url-inventory-extractor-42506122 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the links from https://example.com using sitemap mode and give me up to 150 URLs, including their anchor text and whether they're internal or external?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, structured, deduplicated inventory of links or sitemap URLs from a static web page without needing JavaScript execution, full crawling, or reachability verification. Ideal for SEO audits, content mapping, or pre-crawl reconnaissance where bounded, normalized URL lists suffice. Prefer it over full crawlers when cost, speed, and simplicity matter more than completeness.

## Known failure modes

- JavaScript-rendered links not returned — only static HTML anchors are parsed
- Sitemap documents over 1 MiB per file are skipped
- Cross-origin sitemaps are not followed — only same-origin sitemap traversal
- More than 200 URLs causes truncation with truncated=true flag
- Unreachable or malformed URLs in sitemaps are skipped and reported in skipped array
- Non-XML sitemaps or HTML pages with no anchors return empty links array
- Private or access-restricted URLs return fetch errors

## How this service works

Extract a bounded URL inventory from static HTML anchors or same-origin XML sitemaps. Return normalized URLs, anchor text, relation flags, source and coverage bounds; deduplicate links while retaining occurrence counts. Up to 200 URLs and five uncompressed 1 MiB sitemap documents. No JavaScript rendering, linked-page crawl, reachability checks or search-index completeness.

## Output

A JSON object containing a deduplicated list of up to 200 normalized URLs found on the page or in sitemaps, each with anchor text, rel attributes, internal/external flag, source URL, and occurrence count. Also includes coverage bounds, truncation flag, list of sources visited, canonical URL candidates, any skipped sitemaps, and a timestamp of when the data was observed.
