## 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-service-url-to-markdown-converter-3e1db977 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model and give me the content as clean markdown?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cheap, fast, deterministic way to convert any public webpage to clean markdown without invoking an LLM. Ideal for pipelines that need reproducible, low-cost web content extraction — especially when downstream processing (summarization, RAG ingestion, display) will handle interpretation.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — fetch fails
- URL points to non-HTML content (PDF, binary) — markdown conversion may be incomplete or empty
- Malformed or non-URI input — request rejected
- Paywalled or JS-rendered pages — content may be incomplete or empty
- Rate limiting or payment failure — request not processed

## How this service works

Fetch a URL and return clean markdown. No LLM, deterministic, cheap.

## Output

Returns the fetched web page's content converted to clean, readable markdown — stripped of ads, nav elements, and HTML cruft, deterministically processed without any LLM involvement.
