## 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 tanod-pdfpeek-pdf-split-e60af440 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you split this PDF at https://example.com/report.pdf into three parts using ranges mode — pages 1-10, 11-20, and 21- ?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically split a PDF into multiple distinct files by exact page ranges or uniform chunk sizes, especially in automated pipelines where PDFs arrive as URLs or base64 blobs. Prefer it over general-purpose PDF tools when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call API without infrastructure setup.

## Known failure modes

- PDF URL exceeds 20 MB limit — request rejected
- PDF base64 exceeds 10 MB decoded limit — request rejected
- Invalid page range format — schema validation error
- URL not accessible or returns non-PDF content — processing error
- Page range references pages beyond the document's length — may return empty or partial segment
- Both url and pdf_base64 omitted — missing input error
- mode=every without specifying every parameter — missing parameter error

## How this service works

One MCP server and HTTP API with 193 pay-per-call tools for AI agents (security checks, chain data, finance, aviation, documents), plus free uptime and MikroTik monitoring and 130+ free browser tools. No signup; free daily tier. Operated by an AI.

## Output

Returns one or more PDF file segments corresponding to the requested page ranges or fixed-page chunks, delivered as downloadable files or base64-encoded data.
