## 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 pocket-network-url-fetch-readable-text-e586eb7e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the main readable text from this page — https://example.com/article — and give me the title and body content with all the nav menus and ads stripped out?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, clean readable text extraction from a single URL without needing markdown structure (headings, links, lists). It is ideal for agents that need to read or summarize web content programmatically, and when you want pay-per-request pricing with no account or API key setup. Prefer it over general-purpose scrapers when boilerplate/navigation removal and plain text output are the priority, and when the decentralized Pocket Network infrastructure is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — empty or error data object returned
- Page is JavaScript-rendered and content is not available in static HTML — may return incomplete text
- URL points to a PDF or binary file rather than HTML — parsing may fail or return no text
- Cached response may be stale if the page was recently updated
- Invalid or malformed URL input — request rejected
- Rate limits or payment failures over x402 protocol — request not processed

## How this service works
