## 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-page-content-extractor-trafilatura-50de9a64
```

Example prompt: Fetch the content of https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/15/openai-latest-news/ and return it as clean markdown so I can read the article text.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need clean, readable main-body text or markdown from a public URL — ideal for articles, blog posts, and documentation pages. Prefer it over raw HTML fetchers when you want boilerplate removed by trafilatura. Choose the structured-parse sibling endpoint instead if you need headings, links, and tables extracted separately.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns non-200 status — extraction fails or returns empty content
- JavaScript-heavy single-page apps return empty content if render flag is not set to true
- Paywalled or login-gated pages return minimal or no content
- Malformed or non-HTTP URLs rejected at schema validation
- Timeout on slow-loading pages

## How this service works

Fetch a public URL and return clean markdown/text + metadata (trafilatura).

## Output

Returns clean markdown or plain text of the main content of the requested page, stripped of navigation, ads, and boilerplate, along with page metadata such as title and author extracted by trafilatura.
