## 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-web-reader-x402-b78bc11f
```

Example prompt: Fetch the content of https://docs.example.com/getting-started and give me the full text as markdown, up to 30000 characters.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read a live web page's content as clean Markdown without requiring an API key or account — particularly suited for pay-per-call agent workflows using x402/USDC micropayments on Base. Ideal for one-off page fetches where setting up a full scraping subscription is overkill.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — endpoint may return an error or empty markdown
- URL is malformed — request will fail schema validation since 'url' is required
- maxChars outside the 1000–60000 range may be ignored or cause an error
- Payment not completed (x402 flow fails) — request is rejected before execution
- Very large or JavaScript-heavy pages may render poorly or return minimal content

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: 'title' (page title string), 'markdown' (full page content rendered as Markdown, up to maxChars), 'links' (array of URLs extracted from the page), and 'truncated' (boolean indicating whether content was cut short).
