## 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 newbotlabor-pdf-text-extractor-0ec72960 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the text from this PDF — https://example.com/report.pdf — and give me the text for each page separately, up to 50 pages?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract raw text from a PDF document on a per-page basis without setting up an account or API key, especially in autonomous agent workflows where pay-per-call microtransactions via x402/USDC are preferred over subscription billing. Ideal for one-off or low-volume PDF parsing tasks where you have either a public URL or raw PDF bytes.

## Known failure modes

- PDF URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 response — extraction fails with an error
- Invalid or malformed base64 input causes a parse error
- PDF is encrypted or password-protected — text cannot be extracted
- maxPages value outside 1-200 range is rejected
- PDF contains only scanned images with no embedded text — returns empty text per page
- Network timeout fetching the remote PDF URL

## How this service works

Pay-per-call utilities for autonomous agents, paid with x402 (USDC on Base; no account, no API key).

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing document metadata (title, author), file size in bytes, total character count, page count, a SHA-256 hash of the PDF, an array of per-page text objects (page number, text, character count), a list of empty page numbers, and optionally a joined full-text string if joinPages was requested.
