## 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 nordforge-url-to-markdown-fetch-ae9adf7a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the content of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence and give it to me as markdown so I can read through it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to retrieve a specific webpage and have its content in clean, LLM-friendly Markdown format in a single call, especially in pay-per-use agent pipelines where you want to avoid hosting your own scraping infrastructure. It is ideal for one-off URL fetches rather than bulk crawling, and works well when you need human-readable page content (articles, documentation, landing pages) rather than raw HTML or structured data.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status — fetch fails with an error
- URL points to a non-HTML resource (e.g. PDF, binary file) — markdown conversion may fail or return garbled content
- Payment fails or insufficient USDC balance — request rejected before fetch occurs
- URL is malformed or missing — validation error returned
- Target page is behind authentication or blocks bots — returns empty or error content
- Very large pages may time out or be truncated

## How this service works

Pay-per-call hashing, encoding, ping, URL→markdown and JSON fetch. USDC on Base via x402.

## Output

Returns the content of the fetched URL rendered as Markdown text, stripping HTML and converting the page structure into readable Markdown format suitable for LLM consumption or further processing.
