## 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 toolshed-html-to-markdown-converter-ea51f0d2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert this HTML snippet into clean Markdown for me: '<h1>Hello World</h1><p>This is a <strong>test</strong> paragraph with a <a href="https://example.com">link</a>.</p>'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, no-setup, per-call HTML-to-Markdown conversion without managing credentials or subscriptions. Ideal for agent pipelines that occasionally need to normalize scraped HTML into LLM-friendly Markdown, especially when volume is unpredictable and a pay-per-use micro-payment model (USDC via x402) is preferable to a monthly API key subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or empty HTML input may result in an error or empty Markdown output
- Very large HTML documents may time out or exceed payload limits
- HTML with complex CSS-based layout will lose styling information as Markdown is purely semantic
- Inline SVG or canvas elements will be stripped or not representable in Markdown
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance will result in a 402 response blocking the call

## How this service works

HTML to Markdown conversion

## Output

A plain-text Markdown string equivalent of the submitted HTML. For example, an <h1> tag becomes a # heading, <strong> becomes bold (**text**), and <a href> links become [text](url). The response is returned as text/markdown content type.
