## 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 page-metadata-extractor-x402-7e5a3eea
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the page metadata for https://www.theverge.com — I want the title, description, og:image, and a short text excerpt from it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, structured metadata from a public webpage without full HTML scraping — ideal for link previews, SEO audits, content pipelines, or any agent workflow that needs a quick title/description/image snapshot of a URL. It requires no API key and uses pay-per-call x402 micropayment ($0.02 USDC on Base), making it suitable for low-volume or one-off extractions without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Private or link-local URLs are blocked (SSRF protection) and will be rejected
- Non-public URLs (e.g. localhost, internal IPs) will fail with an error
- Pages that return non-HTML content (e.g. PDFs, images) may return null for most fields
- Pages with no meta tags will return null for description, ogImage, and canonical
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance will prevent the request from completing
- Timeouts or network errors fetching the target page may result in a failure response

## How this service works

Extract public HTML page metadata for agents: title, description, canonical URL, Open Graph image, language, and a ~500-character plaintext excerpt. POST JSON {"url":"https://example.com"}. Public http(s) only. $0.02 USDC on Base (eip155:8453). No API key.

## Output

A JSON object containing: title (string or null), description (string or null), canonical (absolute URL string or null), ogImage (absolute image URL or null), language (language code string or null), and excerpt (whitespace-collapsed plaintext up to ~500 characters, with ellipsis if truncated, or null).
