## 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 tolca-tonbot-ca-text-to-json-extractor-374a4cae -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this messy customer email — 'Hi, I'm Jane Doe, reach me at jane@example.com or 555-1234, I ordered product #AB99 on March 3rd' — and extract the sender name, email, phone, product ID, and order date as clean JSON.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have free-form or messy text (emails, tickets, documents, scraped content) and need to extract specific named fields into a clean JSON object according to a schema you define. It is ideal for one-shot structured extraction without standing up your own LLM pipeline. Prefer it over generic LLM calls when you want a reliable, schema-driven JSON output and don't want to engineer your own prompts. If you also need to fetch the source text from a URL first, consider the sibling URL-fetch-and-extract endpoint on the same host.

## Known failure modes

- Text contains no information matching the requested schema fields — output JSON has null or missing values
- Schema is malformed or empty — request rejected or unpredictable extraction
- Input text exceeds model context limits — extraction may be truncated or fail
- Ambiguous text leads to incorrect or hallucinated field values
- Missing required 'text' or 'schema' fields in body — 400-level error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call services for AI agents over x402 (USDC on Base).

## Output

Returns a JSON object whose keys and value types match the caller-supplied schema, populated with values extracted from the input text. Fields that cannot be found in the text may be null or absent.
