## 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 sift-web-tools-table-extractor-v1-tables-dffca4f3
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the tables from this Wikipedia page — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population — and give me the data as structured JSON?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract structured tabular data from a web page quickly without writing a custom scraper. It is ideal for pulling Wikipedia tables, financial data pages, sports standings, comparison grids, or any site that publishes data in HTML table format. Prefer this over a general fetch+parse approach when you specifically need row/column structure returned as clean JSON. If you need page text, images, or metadata instead of tables, use the sibling /v1/fetch or /v1/metadata endpoints.

## Known failure modes

- Page has no HTML tables — returns empty tables array with table_count 0
- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — call is not charged
- Page requires JavaScript rendering and tables are dynamically injected — may return empty or incomplete results
- URL parameter missing — returns 400 validation error
- Tables use nested or merged cells — row data may be flattened or misaligned

## How this service works

Extract HTML tables from a page as JSON rows and records. All HTML tables on a page as JSON: header, rows, and records keyed by header when headers are unique.

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'tables' array where each entry has a 'header' array (column names) and a 'rows' array of arrays (cell values), plus a 'table_count' integer indicating how many tables were found on the page.
