## 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 x402-gateway-production-up-railway-app-266bcd77
```

Example prompt: Scrape the article at https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/openai-gpt5-announcement/ and give me the clean readable text as markdown.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract readable text content from a public web page and want clean markdown output. Ideal for summarizing articles, extracting blog post content, or feeding web page text into an LLM pipeline. Prefer this over a screenshot endpoint when you need parseable text rather than a visual render, and over a multi-URL batch fetcher when you need to scrape a single page quickly.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — scrape fails with error
- Page is JavaScript-heavy SPA and content cannot be statically extracted
- URL is behind authentication or paywall — content not accessible
- Payment of $0.005 USDC not provided or rejected — 402 Payment Required
- Malformed or missing URL parameter — 400 Bad Request
- Page returns non-HTML content (PDF, binary) — markdown extraction not possible
