## 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 rag-diet-url-to-markdown-converter-6caa717c
```

Example prompt: Fetch the page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-augmented_generation and convert it to clean markdown, stripping all the HTML boilerplate so I can drop it straight into my LLM context.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web page content into an LLM or RAG pipeline and want to minimize token usage — it removes 85-97% of HTML/DOM noise, making it far more efficient than passing raw HTML. Prefer it over generic scrapers when your goal is LLM-readiness and compression ratio matters. It costs only $0.001 USDC per page via x402, making it economical for high-volume ingestion workflows.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — page cannot be fetched
- URL points to a non-HTML resource (PDF, image) — conversion may fail or return raw bytes
- Bot-detection or CAPTCHA on target site — content may be blocked
- Payment not provided or insufficient — x402 payment required response
- Malformed URL parameter — request rejected with validation error
- Very large pages may hit timeout limits
