## 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 nythosx-url-to-markdown-reader-0c0946fc
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to retrieve and read the textual content of any public web page in a clean, agent-friendly Markdown format — especially useful when feeding web content into LLMs, building RAG pipelines, monitoring pages, or extracting article text without dealing with raw HTML. It returns rich metadata (title, language, word count, published time) alongside the content. It is pay-per-call via x402/USDC on Base, making it suitable for autonomous agents that need metered, on-demand web reading without managing browser infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Non-public or paywalled URLs may return incomplete or empty markdown content
- Invalid or malformed URLs result in a request error
- Pages that require JavaScript rendering may not return full content
- Very large pages may have truncated markdown output
- Non-HTML resources (PDFs, images) may not convert cleanly
- HTTP errors from the target page (404, 500) will be reflected in the status field

## How this service works

## Output
