# Region Fetch

> Region Fetch is a paid API for AI agents from regionfetch.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Fetches a public HTTPS URL from a specified geographic region (US, DE, JP, BR, or IN) using HTTP or browser rendering, and returns the page body with an Ed25519-signed provenance receipt.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 region-fetch-6c0546f1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://example.com/pricing as seen from Japan using browser mode so JavaScript renders, and give me the signed receipt proving what was returned.

## When to prefer this

Choose Region Fetch when you need verifiable, geographically-specific web content retrieval — especially when tamper-evident provenance (the Ed25519-signed receipt) matters, or when you need to compare how a page renders in different countries. Prefer browser mode for JavaScript-rendered pages (SPAs, dynamic pricing) and HTTP mode for lightweight static pages. This is distinct from general web scrapers that lack signed provenance or geographic selection.

## Known failure modes

- Private, loopback, or non-HTTPS URLs are rejected with a validation error
- URL longer than 2048 characters is rejected
- Requested page may be unavailable or return a non-200 status from the target region
- Browser mode may time out for slow-loading or complex JavaScript pages
- Target site may block known datacenter IPs in certain regions
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Retrieve a public HTTPS URL as seen from the US, Germany, Japan, Brazil, or India. Use HTTP mode for lightweight retrieval or browser mode for JavaScript-rendered pages. Returns the fetched body and an Ed25519-signed receipt for provenance.

## Output

Returns the full HTTP response body of the fetched URL as seen from the requested country, along with an Ed25519-signed receipt that cryptographically attests to the URL, response content, timestamp, and originating region — enabling tamper-evident provenance verification.
