## 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 reader-pro-web-extractor-6b2b42d8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://www.acmecorp.com/about and extract all contacts (emails, phones, social profiles), the heading outline, and any JSON-LD structured data — also grab the text of every element matching 'h1.hero-title' as a custom field called 'heroTitle'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, deterministic extraction of web page metadata and content without involving an LLM — ideal for scraping OpenGraph/JSON-LD, contact info, tables, links, and headings from public pages at low cost ($0.004/call). Prefer it over LLM-based extractors when repeatability, speed, and cost matter. Use it over the sibling markdown endpoint when you need structured entities (tables, contacts, schema.org) rather than readable prose.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible (paywalled, login-required) — returns empty or partial data
- Invalid or malformed URL — returns validation error
- Page uses heavy client-side JavaScript rendering — static HTML only is parsed, dynamic content may be missing
- CSS selector matches more than 50 elements — truncated to 50
- More than 20 custom fields specified — returns error
- Network timeout fetching the target URL — returns timeout error
- Target URL returns non-200 status — may return error or empty sections

## How this service works

Reader Pro: fetch a public web page and return structured data, no LLM: OpenGraph/meta tags, parsed JSON-LD (schema.org), HTML tables as row objects, deduped internal/external links, emails/phones/social profiles, heading outline, images with alt text, plus optional CSS-selector fields.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing any combination of: OpenGraph and standard meta tags, parsed JSON-LD (schema.org) objects, HTML tables as arrays of row objects, deduplicated internal and external links, extracted emails/phones/social profile URLs, a heading hierarchy outline, images with src and alt text, and text/attribute values for any custom CSS-selector fields provided.
