## 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 scriptmasterlabs-web-to-markdown-reader-ac2b0aaf
```

Example prompt: Grab the content of https://docs.example.com/getting-started and convert it to clean markdown so I can feed it into my LLM pipeline — limit it to 10000 characters.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read a live public webpage and get its content as clean, LLM-ready markdown in real time, especially within a pay-per-call x402 micropayment workflow. It is well-suited for single-URL fetches where the agent needs structured text without running its own browser or scraping infrastructure. Prefer alternatives if you need full-site crawling, JavaScript-heavy SPA rendering, or bulk URL processing.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 status — may return an error or empty markdown
- URL points to a PDF or non-HTML resource that cannot be converted to markdown
- Target page uses heavy JavaScript rendering that the reader cannot execute — content may be partial or missing
- max_chars parameter outside the 1000–50000 range may cause rejection or unexpected truncation
- Payment not accepted or x402 protocol misconfiguration results in 402 response with no content delivered

## How this service works

Pay-per-call APIs and a read-only provider check for x402 buyers. Inspect evidence and live terms before a caller-controlled payment; accept delivery with proof.

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'status' field (e.g. 'ready'), a 'product' label ('SML Agent Web Access'), the full 'markdown' string of the converted page content, the 'price_usdc' charged per call, and the 'source_url' that was fetched. On success, the markdown field contains clean, LLM-ready text extracted from the target page.
