## 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 relaystation-html-to-text-converter-8e50d92d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Strip all the HTML tags from this web page markup and give me just the clean readable text — I need to feed it into an LLM without any of the angle brackets or attributes cluttering it up.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, cost-effective way to strip HTML markup before feeding content to an LLM, search index, or NLP pipeline. It is ideal for preprocessing scraped web content, HTML emails, or CMS-generated HTML at scale, with pay-per-MB pricing that suits variable document sizes.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or non-HTML input may return unexpected or empty text
- Very large HTML documents may be rate-limited or incur higher per-MB charges
- Nested or JavaScript-rendered content is not executed — dynamic content will be absent from output
- Encoding issues in unusual character sets may produce garbled output
