## 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 web-extract-readable-text-extractor-6810790a
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the page at https://example.com/article and give me just the readable text content — strip out the navigation, ads, scripts, and HTML so I can read the actual article?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need clean, human-readable text from a web page for downstream tasks like summarization, analysis, or storage, and you want scripts, navigation, ads, and markup automatically removed. It is particularly useful for agents that need to ingest web content without running a full browser. Prefer it over raw HTTP fetches when text cleanliness matters, and over headless browser solutions when speed and cost are priorities and the target page does not rely heavily on client-side JavaScript rendering.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — extraction fails with an error
- Page requires JavaScript rendering — dynamic content may not be captured since it uses a server-side GET fetch
- Paywalled or login-required pages return only the gated content visible without authentication
- Malformed or non-HTML URLs (e.g. PDFs, images) may return empty or unexpected output
- Payment not processed (x402) — request is rejected before fetching begins
