## 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 scope-research-api-website-research-6165016e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you research https://stripe.com and focus on what payment products they offer? I need a source-backed summary I can reference.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need source-backed, cited research on a specific public web URL rather than a general search query. It is especially useful when an AI agent needs to ground its reasoning in verifiable web content from a known URL, rather than relying on internal knowledge or a search index. Prefer it over generic scrapers when structured research output with source attribution is required.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 — research cannot be completed
- Paywalled or login-required page — content may be inaccessible
- x402 payment fails or wallet has insufficient USDC — request rejected before processing
- URL points to non-textual content (e.g. PDF binary, image) — extraction may be incomplete
- Focus query too vague — results may be broad rather than targeted
