## 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 url-to-markdown-converter-98e8cb0d
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://www.example.com/some-article and convert it to clean Markdown — I want the main article content with headings and links, no ads or nav menus, plus the title and word count.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract and read the main textual content of a web page in a clean, LLM-friendly Markdown format without building your own scraper. It's ideal for RAG pipelines, article summarization, competitive research, or any agent task that needs readable web content stripped of ads and navigation. Prefer it over raw HTML fetchers when you want immediate Markdown output with metadata like title, word count, and outbound links included in one call, with no API key required.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — fetch fails with an error
- Page is JavaScript-rendered and content is not accessible without a browser — may return empty or partial content
- URL points to a non-HTML resource (PDF, image) — conversion may fail or return unexpected output
- Rate limiting or bot-blocking by the target site — fetch may fail or return gated content
- Malformed URL input — request rejected

## How this service works

Convert any web page URL to clean Markdown for LLMs and agents: fetches the page, removes navigation, ads, scripts and boilerplate, keeps the main article content with headings, lists, tables, links, images and code blocks, and returns title, meta description, word count, headings outline and outbound links. Web scraping, article extraction, readability and HTML-to-Markdown in one call, no API key. $0.01 per page.

## Output

Returns the page's main article content as clean Markdown (headings, lists, tables, code blocks, images, links), along with the page title, meta description, word count, a headings outline, and all outbound links found in the main content — navigation, ads, scripts, and boilerplate are stripped.
