## 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 readclean-clean-readable-webpage-text-extractor-600f942b
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the main article text from https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/1/example-article and return it as clean markdown, stripping out all the navigation and ads?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, deterministic, non-LLM article extraction from a single URL and want clean markdown output with metadata (title, word count, hash) without storing the page. Prefer it over LLM-based summarization pipelines when you want raw extracted text as input to your own downstream processing, and over full browser automation when you only need the readable text content, not rendered layout or screenshots.

## Known failure modes

- Page behind a login wall or paywall returns empty or partial content
- Dynamic JavaScript-rendered pages may not yield full content since extraction is server-side
- Invalid or unreachable URL returns a non-200 HTTP status
- Pages with aggressive bot-blocking (e.g. Cloudflare challenges) may fail to fetch
- Very large pages may timeout or return truncated content
