## 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 primeapi-pdf-extract-8550841c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the text from this PDF for me? Here's the link: https://example.com/report.pdf

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract text from a PDF document and want to pay per call without managing API keys, using USDC on Base via the x402 payment protocol. It is best for one-off or low-volume PDF extraction tasks where subscription-based services are overkill.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible PDF URL returns an error
- Malformed query input causes a 400 bad request
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
- Password-protected PDFs may not be parseable
- Scanned image-based PDFs without OCR may return empty or incomplete text
- Service downtime on Vercel deployment returns 5xx errors
