## 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 sml-agent-web-read-markdown-6329480e
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the content of https://example.com/some-article and give it back to me as clean markdown text, up to 10000 characters?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to fetch and read arbitrary public web pages as clean LLM-ready Markdown without setting up a separate scraping service or API key. It is especially useful inside agentic workflows where an LLM needs to ingest live web content on-demand at low cost ($0.001 per call). Prefer it over browser-automation tools when the target page is a standard public HTML page and you do not need JavaScript rendering.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — returns error
- URL points to non-HTML content (e.g. binary file) — may return empty or garbled output
- max_chars out of range (below 1000 or above 50000) — may be rejected or clamped
- Target server is slow or unreachable — timeout error
- Payment of 0.001 USDC not fulfilled — HTTP 402 response blocking access

## How this service works

URL to Markdown API and converter for AI agents — convert any public HTTPS URL to clean Markdown, HTML-to-text, and LLM-ready web content with no separate scraper account or API key.

## Output

Returns the textual content of the requested public HTTPS URL converted to clean, LLM-ready Markdown (or JSON-wrapped Markdown if format=json is specified), truncated to max_chars if provided.
