## 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 whatchuneed-article-scraper-382d4b38 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the article at https://www.example.com/news/2024/some-article and give me the main body text?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract clean readable text from a specific article or blog post URL, especially in a pay-per-call context where you don't want a subscription. Prefer this over general-purpose crawlers when you need lightweight, targeted article extraction rather than full site crawling.

## Known failure modes

- URL is behind a hard paywall or bot-detection block — may return empty or partial content
- Invalid or malformed URL input — returns error status
- Target page returns non-article content (e.g. homepage, redirect) — result may be noisy or irrelevant
- Timeout if the target server is slow or unreachable
- JavaScript-rendered pages may not be fully scraped if the scraper uses static fetching
