> Orbonomy Crawl - Broken Endpoint is a paid API for AI agents from crawl.orbonomy.xyz, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-27).

## 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 orbonomy-crawl-broken-endpoint-e2ee4f66 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check https://example.com for broken links — scan up to 50 links and tell me which ones are dead?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-request (no subscription) broken link checker that accepts a single URL and optional link count cap, and you are operating in an x402/USDC payment context. Avoid if you need full-site recursive crawling or rich structured content extraction.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL returns error response
- URL is unreachable or times out, resulting in failure
- Payment not completed in USDC via x402 results in 402 response
- maxLinks value too high may cause timeout or partial results
- The /api/broken path may itself be non-functional or return errors given its name

## How this service works

Web scraping and search for AI agents. No auth, no subscriptions. Pay per request in USDC via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a boolean `success` field and a `data` object containing the crawl results, including link status information for the scanned URL.
