## 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 orchard-data-web-read-8ea61e79
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the content of https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/openai-gpt5-announcement/ and give me the full article text as markdown?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read and process the text content of any public web page on the fly, especially when combined with x402 micropayment infrastructure. It is ideal for single-URL fetches where you want clean Markdown output (title + body + word count) rather than raw HTML, and when you need pay-per-call pricing without a subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — returns error or empty content
- Target page returns non-HTML content (PDF, binary) that cannot be converted to markdown
- URL is malformed or missing the required http/https scheme — schema validation failure
- Target server is down or times out — upstream fetch error
- Rate limiting or bot protection on the target site blocks the fetch
