## 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 the-stall-readable-content-extractor-215f89bc
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the readable text content from this page for me — https://example.com/some-article — and give me just the main body without all the HTML noise?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract clean, readable text from a public URL without managing HTML parsing yourself. Ideal for reading news articles, blog posts, documentation pages, or any publicly accessible webpage. Prefer this over raw fetch when you want boilerplate stripped automatically. Pay-per-call with USDC on Base — no API keys needed, making it suitable for one-off agent tasks without account setup.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or requires authentication — returns an error or empty content
- URL points to a non-text resource (PDF, image, video) — may return garbled or no content
- Target site blocks crawlers or Jina's reader — fetch fails or returns partial content
- Malformed URL provided — schema validation error
- Rate limiting or upstream Jina failure — service temporarily unavailable
- Redirect loop or too many redirects — fetch error

## How this service works

Fetches any public URL and returns the full readable article text as clean Markdown, stripped of navigation, ads, and boilerplate. Returns title, published date (if available), and the complete body ready for LLM summarization, analysis, or RAG ingestion. A $0.004 alternative to exa.ai/contents ($0.007) and web-read ($0.016) for the same full-text extraction primitive.

## Output

Clean, human-readable text extracted from the target webpage, with HTML tags, navigation, ads, and other boilerplate removed. Powered by Jina's reader pipeline. Content reflects a fresh fetch if no_cache is true, or a cached version otherwise.
