## 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 pyfile-web-page-to-markdown-reader-3202204a
```

Example prompt: Can you read https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-12345678 and give me the main article text as clean markdown, keeping it under 20000 characters?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to convert a specific public web page URL into clean, LLM-ready Markdown for RAG ingestion, summarization, or context injection, and want boilerplate (ads, nav, footers) automatically removed. It is especially suited for single-page article extraction in agentic pipelines that pay per call via x402. Prefer it over generic HTTP fetch tools when clean readable text — not raw HTML — is required.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — returns an error or empty content
- Page is JavaScript-rendered and the backend cannot execute JS — may return incomplete or empty markdown
- max_chars set too low — content is heavily truncated, truncated flag is true
- Invalid or malformed URL input — likely returns a 4xx error
- Rate limiting or network timeout fetching the remote page — may return an error response
- Page has no clear article body — extraction may return minimal or low-quality markdown

## How this service works

Read any public web page as clean readable Markdown for RAG and LLM pipelines — main article text with nav/ads stripped, plus title. ?url=https://example.com&max_chars=20000

## Output

A JSON object containing: the requested URL, the page title, the main article body as clean Markdown (with navigation, ads, and boilerplate stripped), the extraction backend used, the number of bytes in the markdown, a boolean indicating whether the content was truncated at max_chars, and an ISO-8601 timestamp of when the page was fetched.
