# NetIntel Exa Contents — Batch URL Reader

> NetIntel Exa Contents — Batch URL Reader is a paid API for AI agents from netintel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Fetches clean page text, title, author, and publish date for up to 3 URLs in one call, bypassing JS rendering and bot walls via Exa's index and live crawl.

## 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 netintel-exa-contents-batch-url-reader-b70063e5
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the full text of these three articles for me — https://example.com/article1, https://example.com/article2, and https://example.com/article3 — including their titles and publish dates? Some of them might be JS-rendered so use live crawl if needed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to read the actual text content of specific known URLs — especially JS-rendered pages, paywalled content, or bot-protected sites that a simple HTTP GET cannot access. It is preferable to a direct fetch when pages require JavaScript execution or block scrapers. Use it over /exa/search when you already know the exact URLs and just need their content. Ideal for batch reading 2–3 URLs in a single paid call rather than making separate requests.

## Known failure modes

- URL unreachable or returns non-200 — per-URL status set to error with error message
- All 3 URLs fail — succeeded=0, results still returned with error fields
- livecrawl=never and page is JS-rendered — text may be empty or partial
- max_characters too low — text truncated with truncated=true
- More than 3 URLs submitted — rejected or only first 3 processed
- Malformed URL in array — that entry returns error status

## How this service works

Clean page text for up to 3 URLs in one call via Exa's index + live crawl — works on JS-rendered and bot-walled pages that direct fetch can't read. Returns title, author, published_date and text per URL, with per-URL status. Pairs with /exa/search (search → contents). No API key, pay per call on Base or Solana.

## Output

Returns a results array with one entry per URL, each containing: url, title, author, published_date, text (cleaned body), status (success/error), char_count, truncated flag, and an error field if the fetch failed. Also includes top-level fields: provider (exa), requested count, succeeded count, and a findings array.
