## 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-tracking-parameter-cleaner-4649433c
```

Example prompt: Can you clean up this URL for me and strip out all the tracking stuff like UTM parameters and fbclid before I share it? Here's the link: https://example.com/article?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spring2024&fbclid=IwAR123abc

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically strip well-known tracking parameters (UTM, fbclid, gclid, msclkid) from a single URL and get an explicit audit trail of what was removed. It is ideal for privacy-conscious link sharing, URL normalization before deduplication, or pre-publication link cleanup. Prefer this over a generic URL normalizer when you specifically need tracking-parameter removal with a report of what was stripped.

## Known failure modes

- URL exceeds 2000 characters — request rejected
- Malformed or non-HTTP URL — may return error or unparseable result
- URL with no query string — returns same URL with empty removed list
- Unknown or novel tracking parameters not in the known list — silently kept, listed in notChecked
- Network or service unavailability — HTTP error response

## How this service works

Remove utm_*, fbclid, gclid, msclkid and other known tracking parameters from a URL and list what was removed.

## Output

Returns the cleaned URL with all known tracking parameters removed, a list of the parameter names that were stripped, the number of parameters kept, a verdict and summary describing what was found, and optional flags for degraded results or unchecked parameters.
