## 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 pdf-text-extraction-api-79a32cd4
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the text from this PDF for me? https://example.com/report.pdf — I only need pages 1, 3, and 5.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract text from a PDF hosted at a public URL, especially when you want to target specific pages rather than the whole document. It is well-suited for agent workflows that need to read contracts, reports, invoices, or academic papers before downstream analysis. Prefer it over general web scrapers when the source is specifically a PDF file.

## Known failure modes

- URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 response — endpoint cannot fetch the PDF
- URL does not point to a valid PDF file — parsing fails
- Specified page numbers are out of range for the document — may return empty or error
- Password-protected or encrypted PDFs cannot be parsed — extraction fails
- Very large PDFs may time out or exceed processing limits
