## 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 uos-genesis-html-to-text-converter-767a09b7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this HTML I just scraped and strip out all the markup so I just get the plain readable text: '<h1>Hello</h1><p>This is a <b>test</b> paragraph.</p>'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, paid-per-call conversion of HTML to plain text without running your own parser. It complements the sibling html_to_markdown endpoint when you need purely unformatted text rather than markdown structure. Good for preprocessing scraped web content before feeding it to LLMs or search indexers.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or unparseable HTML may produce garbled or incomplete text output
- Empty input returns empty string
- Very large HTML documents may time out or exceed payload limits
- Non-HTML input (e.g. plain text or binary) may return the input unchanged or produce an error

## How this service works

UOS Genesis machine utility: html_to_text

## Output

Returns the plain text content extracted from the input HTML, with all tags, attributes, scripts, and markup removed, leaving only the human-readable text content
