## 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-scrape-spotlight-ced78b20 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape the spotlight section from this page and return the featured content — the input is: 'https://example.com/deals'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly extract spotlight, featured, or highlighted content from a web page without setting up your own scraping infrastructure. It is best suited for one-off, pay-per-call scraping tasks where the target is a public page with a visible spotlight or featured section. Prefer it over generic crawlers when you want a lightweight, single-request extraction with no subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Target page is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — result may be empty or null
- Spotlight section not found on page — result object may be empty
- Malformed or ambiguous input string — API may return an error status
- Rate limiting or bot-detection on the target site — scrape may fail silently
- Input omitted entirely — returns 400 or validation error
