## 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 nock-web-fetch-brief-7994c636 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://example.com/article and give me a brief of what actually matters on that page?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, paid AI-generated summary of a specific URL without building your own scraper or summarizer pipeline. It's particularly useful for agents that need to digest external links on demand without direct browser access. Prefer alternatives if you need structured data extraction, full page HTML, or no per-call cost.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error or empty brief
- Paywalled or login-protected pages may not be accessible and return incomplete content
- Very large pages may be truncated or only partially briefed
- Non-HTML content (PDFs, binary files) may not be parsed correctly
- Payment of $0.05 USDC per call via x402 must succeed before content is returned
