## 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`):

Example prompt: Can you scrape the text content from https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/15/openai-latest-update/ and give me a summary? Fetch fresh content, not cached.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract readable text from any public webpage, especially when you want optional geo-proxying or cache bypass. Prefer this over general search APIs when you already have the URL and need the full text content rather than a snippet. Ideal for reading articles, documentation, or any publicly accessible web page.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 HTTP status
- Target page requires JavaScript rendering and content is not available in static HTML
- Rate limiting or bot detection blocks the scrape request
- Invalid or malformed URL provided
- Proxy country code is invalid or unsupported
- Page content is behind a login or paywall

## How this service works

Scrape a webpage and return the text content. This endpoint allows you to extract text content from any public webpage.

## Output
