Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to quickly generate a scraping scaffold or extraction template structure from a natural language description, especially when you want a pay-per-call model via x402 without managing a full scraping infrastructure subscription. Prefer alternatives if you need live scraping execution rather than scaffold generation, or if you need highly specialized anti-bot bypass capabilities.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or ambiguous input string may produce a generic or unusable scaffold
- Input describing a site with heavy JavaScript rendering may produce an incomplete scaffold
- Missing or malformed required 'input' field returns an error status
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol may block the call
- Scaffold may not be optimized for sites with anti-scraping measures
