## 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 starchild-relay-firecrawl-web-scrape-419f031f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the content from https://example.com/article and pull out the main text for me?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to scrape a specific public URL through the Starchild relay and pay per-call via x402 micro-payments with USDC, rather than maintaining a separate Firecrawl API key or subscription. Best for agents that need occasional on-demand web scraping at very low cost without managing upstream API credentials.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required if no valid X-PAYMENT header is included — returns payment challenge instructions
- Invalid or malformed URL returns an error from Firecrawl
- Target URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 status — scrape fails with upstream error
- Rate limiting or upstream Firecrawl outage causes temporary failures
- JavaScript-heavy pages may return incomplete content if dynamic rendering is not supported

## How this service works

All-in-one reputable data source for AI agents and developers. Crypto spot/OHLC, derivatives funding rates, open interest, liquidations, forex, commodities, indices, social sentiment, DeFi protocols, and more — 17+ upstream data sources behind a single x402 paywall.

Usage: Send requests to any proxied path (e.g. GET /coingecko/api/v3/...). Unauthenticated requests receive a 402 challenge with payment instructions. Include X-PAYMENT header with a valid signature to access data.

## Output

Returns the scraped content of the provided URL — including cleaned text, HTML, or structured data extracted by Firecrawl — delivered after a successful x402 micro-payment of $0.00001 USDC.
