> Otto AI Web Extract is a paid API for AI agents from x402.ottoai.services, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

## 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 otto-ai-web-extract-dfe01928
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch and read the content of https://vitalik.ca/general/2024/01/01/end.html for me, including the title and full article text?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to fetch and read the full text content of any public URL — including JS-rendered pages and PDFs — for $0.005 per call via x402 micropayment. Prefer this over generic scrapers when you need JS rendering and PDF support together in a single pay-per-use API without managing infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns non-200 HTTP status
- JavaScript rendering times out for complex single-page applications
- PDF parsing fails for scanned/image-based PDFs
- Rate limiting or payment failure blocks the request
- Private or auth-gated URLs return empty or error content
- Very large pages may be truncated or have incomplete content

## How this service works

Turn any URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown — the main article extracted, nav/ads/boilerplate stripped, plus title, description and publish date. Renders JavaScript pages, articles, docs and PDFs. A keyless, pay-per-call web reader for agents that read the web on demand: RAG ingestion, research and summarization. Structured JSON, cached by URL for fast repeat reads.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the page title, full extracted text content, HTTP status code, optional description, content length, published time, and a freshness timestamp. Also includes metadata about staleness and whether the response is degraded.
