## 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-read-8dd7bd09 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you read and return all the content from this webpage for me: https://example.com/article/top-stories?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to fetch and read the content of a specific URL for an AI agent pipeline — especially when you want a simple pay-per-request model on Base chain via x402 without managing your own scraping infrastructure. Prefer this over browser automation tools when a single URL read is sufficient and you want low-latency, cost-controlled content retrieval.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns success: false with an error message
- Bot-protected or JavaScript-heavy pages may return incomplete or empty content
- Rate limiting or payment failure may block the request
- Malformed URL input causes validation error
- Timeout on slow or large pages

## How this service works
