## 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-web-archive-crawler-25a706cf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the archived content of https://example.com/some-article so I can see what the page looked like when it was last crawled?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve archived, cached, or previously crawled content of a specific URL, especially when the live page may have changed, been removed, or is temporarily unavailable. Prefer this over live scraping when you want a historical snapshot or a stored copy of a page.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or does not exist — success: false with no data
- Invalid or malformed URL input — request rejected
- URL blocked by robots.txt or anti-scraping protections — may return empty or partial data
- Archive not available for the requested URL — data may be null
- Payment failure on Base chain — request not processed

## How this service works
