## 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 tanship-payai-console-browser-metadata-extraction-x402-75619f4d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the metadata from this webpage — title, description, and any open graph tags — by loading it in a real browser? The page is at https://example.com/product-page.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need metadata from JavaScript-rendered or dynamically loaded pages that a simple HTTP GET would not capture accurately. It is especially useful when standard curl-based scrapers fail to retrieve og: tags or other metadata injected by client-side scripts. The x402 micropayment model makes it suitable for per-call agent workflows without subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns an error — browser automation fails with a connection or HTTP error
- Payment not included or invalid — returns HTTP 402 with x402 payment requirements
- Malformed request body — returns validation error if required fields (type, method, bodyType, body) are missing
- Target page blocks automated browsers — may return incomplete or empty metadata
- Rate limiting or timeout on slow-loading pages — may return partial results or timeout error

## How this service works

Payment-gated AI and browser automation API using the x402 protocol. All /v1/* endpoints require USDC payment on Base (eip155:8453) via x402 v2 exact scheme.

## Output

Returns browser-extracted metadata from the target web page, including elements like page title, meta description, Open Graph tags, and other head-level metadata obtained by rendering the page in a real browser context.
