Fetches any URL and returns its content as clean LLM-ready Markdown, plain text, or JSON — including page title and extracted links — paid per-call via x402/USDC.

## 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 rasterly-web-rendering-api-v1-read-3acf5294
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the page at https://stripe.com/pricing and give me the content as clean markdown so I can read through it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read or ingest live web content in a clean, LLM-consumable format without managing headless browsers, API keys, or accounts. It is ideal for one-off page reads billed per-call via x402/USDC micropayments, making it cost-efficient for sporadic use. Prefer it over generic HTTP fetch when you need automatic HTML-to-Markdown conversion, link extraction, and a structured JSON response. It is not suited for full-site crawls, screenshot/PDF generation, or high-volume bulk scraping.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — endpoint may return an error or empty content
- JavaScript-heavy SPAs may not fully render if server-side rendering is unavailable
- Payment failure via x402 if the USDC wallet has insufficient balance or the payment header is malformed
- Rate limits or bot-detection on the target site may block content retrieval
- Malformed or unencoded URL parameter causes a 400-style error
- Very large pages may be truncated or time out

## How this service works

The web-rendering layer for AI agents, sold per-call over the x402 payment protocol. Turn any URL into a screenshot, a PDF, or clean LLM-ready Markdown. No API keys, no accounts.

## Output

A JSON object containing the page title, the extracted text content in the requested format (markdown by default, or plain text/JSON), and an array of hyperlinks found on the page. Example fields: url, title, text/markdown, links.
