## 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-reader-9419c860
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the content of https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67890123 and give it back to me as clean markdown so I can read the article?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to retrieve the full readable content of a specific public URL directly — without relying on a cached search index or third-party crawler. It is ideal when freshness matters (you want the live page, not a cached snapshot), when you need structured output like markdown with tables and links preserved, and when you want a fixed-cost, receipted fetch rather than a subscription-based crawling service. Avoid it for internal URLs, pages behind authentication, or when you need to crawl entire site hierarchies.

## Known failure modes

- URL points to an internal or private address — refused with an error
- Page exceeds 3 MB size cap — fetch aborted
- Page load exceeds 20-second timeout — request fails
- URL is malformed or unreachable — connection error returned
- Page is behind a login wall or bot detection — content unavailable
- Non-public HTTP/HTTPS scheme provided — rejected

## How this service works

Web content extraction for agents at the lowest price in this catalog tier: pass a URL, get the readable content as clean markdown or plain text - title, author, date, main text, tables, links. Direct fetch, no third-party search index resold. 3 MB / 20 s caps, internal addresses refused. Fixed $0.003 per fetch, signed receipt included.

## Output

A structured response containing the page's title, author, publication date, main readable text, any tables, and links extracted from the page — delivered as clean markdown or plain text depending on the format requested. A signed receipt is included with each response.
