## 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 web2markdown-html-stripper-strip-html-7a356d1c
```

Example prompt: Strip the HTML tags from this snippet and give me clean plain text: '<p>Hello <b>World</b>! Visit <a href="https://example.com">our site</a>.</p>'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have a raw HTML string (not a full URL to fetch) and need to quickly strip markup to get plain text, especially in a pay-per-call, no-signup context via x402 on Base. It is ideal for preprocessing scraped HTML snippets or user-submitted HTML before feeding text to an LLM. If you need to fetch and convert a full URL or PDF to Markdown, use the sibling web-to-Markdown endpoints instead.

## Known failure modes

- Input exceeds 100 KiB limit — request rejected
- Missing required 'input' query parameter — validation error
- Malformed or non-string input — unexpected output or error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC — 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout on the Cloudflare Worker — 5xx error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call API for AI agents: turn any public web page or PDF into clean, LLM-ready Markdown. $0.002 per call in USDC on Base via x402. No API key, no signup.

## Output

A JSON object containing the operation name ('strip_html'), metadata with chars_in, chars_out, and elapsed_ms, and a 'result' field holding the cleaned plain text with all HTML tags removed.
