## 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-scraper-api-link-extractor-073e323d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull all the internal and external links from https://www.example.com/blog — I want anchor text and rel attributes for each, plus a count of how many there are in each group.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need structured link data — internal vs. external classification, anchor text, and rel attributes — from a single page. Prefer it over full-page scrapers when your goal is link auditing, SEO analysis, or internal link mapping rather than body text or metadata extraction. It is more precise than a general scraper for link-focused tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL returns a 400 error
- Page not publicly accessible (401/403) returns an access error
- Page takes too long to load causing a timeout
- URL resolves to a non-HTML resource (PDF, binary) may return empty or error
- Redirects to login walls return links from the login page, not the target content

## How this service works

Extract all links from a page split into internal and external, each with anchor text and rel attribute, plus per-group counts.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with two groups — internal links and external links — each containing an array of link objects (URL, anchor text, rel attribute) and a count for that group.
