## 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 scrapling-x402-web-scraper-05b826ff
```

Example prompt: Scrape https://news.ycombinator.com for me using the static_scrape tier and give me the page content as markdown.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract web content programmatically with per-call micropayment billing and no subscription setup. It is especially well-suited for AI agents operating autonomously that need to retrieve live web data on demand, with tiered options ranging from fast cached results to stealth browser rendering for JavaScript-heavy or bot-protected pages. Prefer it over full crawler services when you need a single URL fetched and returned as clean markdown or structured data.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — reflected in the status field
- Bot detection blocks the scrape even on stealth tier — may return empty or partial content
- CSS selector matches nothing — data fields return empty
- Payment failure via x402 — request is rejected before scraping begins
- Invalid URL format in queryParams.url — schema validation error
- Rate limiting or timeout on slow target sites — incomplete content returned

## How this service works

Current content of any web page (e.g. url=https://example.com) as Markdown, JSON-LD, tables and links; live fetch, $0.001-$0.025 by tier

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the target URL, extracted page data (title, markdown text, tables, JSON-LD), HTTP status code, the scraping tier actually used, a SHA-256 provenance hash of the fetched page, and a quality score (0-100) indicating content richness.
