## 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 olostep-api-olostep-scrapes-single-web-page-scrape-829afe1c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the content of this page for me — https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/openai-latest-announcement/ — and give me the full readable text from it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve and extract content from a single specific web page URL in real time. Prefer this over the Batches endpoint for one-off scrapes, and over the Crawls endpoint when you only need one page rather than an entire site. Ideal for fetching article text, product details, or any publicly accessible web page content on demand.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a 4xx/5xx HTTP error
- Page is behind a login wall or CAPTCHA that blocks scraping
- Timeout if the target page is slow to respond
- Invalid or malformed URL provided
- Page content is dynamically rendered JavaScript that cannot be fully captured
- Rate limiting or bot protection on the target site blocks the scrape
