## 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-clean-markdown-77f9b352
```

Example prompt: Can you read the article at https://blog.example.com/ai-trends-2025 and give me the main content as clean text so I can summarize it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent has a specific public URL and needs its readable text content stripped of HTML, scripts, navigation, and ads — especially for articles, blog posts, documentation pages, and product pages. Prefer it over a search endpoint when you already have the URL and just need the content. It is not suitable for pages requiring authentication, for crawling entire sites, or for extracting structured data from dynamic JavaScript-heavy SPAs that require a full browser.

## Known failure modes

- 400 Bad Request — url parameter missing or not a valid https URL
- 422 Unprocessable Entity — target page is unreachable, returns no usable content, or is behind a paywall/login
- 503 Service Unavailable — reader service is temporarily down; no charge applied on any error

## How this service works

URL to markdown: read any web page as clean, LLM-ready markdown. Use when an agent has a URL (article, docs, blog, product page) and needs the text without HTML, scripts or menus, e.g. to scrape article text or feed a page to an LLM. Pass url (https). Returns title, description, publish date, markdown, word count, headings and links. 0.005 USDC/call; failed calls are free.

## Output

A JSON object containing the final URL, HTTP status, page title, meta description, publish date, ISO fetch timestamp, full markdown of the page content (up to maxChars), word count, a list of headings with levels, a list of outbound links with anchor text, content type, fetch latency in ms, language code, and a truncation flag if the content was cut.
