## 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 scrapfly-crawl-metadata-api-f930125a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you crawl https://example.com/product-page and give me back the metadata ScrapFly pulls from it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve crawl metadata for a specific URL via a pay-per-request scraping service on the Base chain. Prefer this over general scraping alternatives when operating in an x402-enabled agent workflow that handles micropayments automatically, or when you need ScrapFly's anti-bot infrastructure for difficult-to-scrape pages.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL returns success: false
- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status, resulting in a failed crawl response
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol causes request rejection
- Page requires JavaScript rendering that isn't handled, returning incomplete metadata
- Bot detection blocks ScrapFly from accessing the target URL

## How this service works

69 endpoints for data, content generation, and web scraping. Pay per request via x402 on Base chain.

## Output
