## 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 red-web-utils-census-new-ffe5e83a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a census check on https://example.com and tell me what structured data or metadata comes back for that URL?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs lightweight, pay-per-call web census or metadata extraction for a specific URL, especially in micropayment-native (x402/USDC on Base) workflows where token-gated access is expected and batch crawling is not required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL returns a 400 error
- Unreachable or non-existent URL may return a timeout or 404-equivalent
- Missing x402 payment header results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or insufficient USDC balance blocks the call

## How this service works

Pay-per-call web and onchain utilities for AI agents (MPP + x402, USDC on Base).

## Output

Returns census or utility data about the submitted URL — likely including page metadata, web intelligence, or structured attributes extracted from the target page, delivered as a JSON response.
