## 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-scrape-text-extraction-api-5b790aa9
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the content of https://example.com/article and give it to me as markdown so I can read it cleanly?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to fetch and read the text or structure of a public webpage, especially when you want clean output in text or markdown format rather than raw HTML. It is ideal for single-page content extraction with optional CSS selector targeting. Prefer this over a full browser automation tool when the page is static or server-rendered and you don't need JavaScript execution.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — request fails with an error
- Malformed or missing URL parameter — returns a validation error
- CSS selector matches nothing on the page — returns empty content or an error
- Target site blocks bots or requires JavaScript rendering — content may be incomplete or empty
- Rate limiting or timeouts on the target site — may return partial content or timeout error

## How this service works

Web scraping and text extraction

## Output

Returns the content of the scraped URL in the requested format (text, markdown, or HTML). If a CSS selector is provided, only the matching element(s) content is returned. Plain text strips all tags; markdown preserves structure; HTML returns raw markup.
