## 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 moneytools-broken-link-checker-bd296045
```

Example prompt: Can you check https://moneytools.dev for broken links — scan all link types and check up to 12 of them?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call broken link audit of a specific page without setting up a full crawler. It is ideal for spot-checking individual pages before publishing, verifying partner or resource pages, or running quick QA sweeps. It supports scoping to internal or external links only, making it more targeted than a full site crawler. The x402 micropayment model means no subscription is needed for occasional use.

## Known failure modes

- Target page is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — no links extracted, not charged
- URL parameter missing — 400 error returned
- Rate limit exceeded on free tier (10/day) without payment — 402 returned requiring x402 or API key
- Link check times out for slow or hanging hosts — may mark as broken
- Page has fewer than requested links — returns however many exist
- Invalid URL format — parsing error returned

## How this service works

Broken link checker: Extract links from a page and check up to 12 of them (HEAD, GET fallback): status, redirects, latency, broken list. Free tier 10/day; then $0.003 via x402 (HTTP 402 + PAYMENT-REQUIRED) or X-API-Key credits. Not charged on failure. $0.003 USDC per call via x402 on Base. Run by MoneyTools.

## Output

A JSON object listing each checked link with its HTTP status code, final destination URL after redirects, response latency in milliseconds, and whether it is broken. Also includes a summary broken-link list and payment metadata (charged boolean, network, amount in USD, transaction hash).
