## 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 sitescout-x402-api-site-metadata-0e7ad120 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the site metadata for https://example.com — I want the page title, HTTP status, canonical URL, and meta description?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, structured site metadata (title, status, canonical, description) for a single URL without running a full crawler. Ideal for agents doing site verification, SEO audits, link enrichment, or checking whether a page is live and properly configured. It is x402-native, making it suitable for autonomous agent workflows that handle micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or times out — may return a non-200 status or error message
- Malformed or invalid URL input — likely returns a validation error
- Page has no meta description or canonical tag — fields returned as empty strings
- Payment not completed — x402 payment required before response is returned
- Target site blocks crawlers — may return 403 or unexpected content
