## 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-private-web-tools-web-scrape-extract-e9502a6c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you privately scrape https://news.ycombinator.com and give me the page content as markdown, including all links?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to privately extract content from a specific URL without being tracked or logged, especially when privacy is a priority, no API key setup is desired, and payment via crypto micropayment (USDC on Base or Sui) is acceptable. Ideal for AI agents needing single-page content retrieval in markdown or plain text.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns an error (e.g. 404, 500)
- Timeout exceeded — page took too long to load
- Invalid or malformed URL provided
- Payment failure — insufficient USDC or x402 payment rejected
- Page content is inaccessible (e.g. behind login or bot detection)

## How this service works

Private web tools for AI agents with crypto micropayments. Privately search, scrape, and screenshot the web. No logging, no tracking, no API keys.

## Output

A JSON object containing the scraped page's URL, title, output format used, and the full extracted content of the page as either markdown or plain text.
