# x402 Web Probe – Fetch to Markdown (Hub Europe, Germany)

> x402 Web Probe – Fetch to Markdown (Hub Europe, Germany) is a paid API for AI agents from rubycom.ccwu.cc:8443, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-27).

Fetches a public URL from a German network hub and returns the page content as Markdown, along with HTTP status, page title, and truncation flag — billed per-call via USDC on Base using x402.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-web-probe-fetch-to-markdown-hub-europe-germany-d5e79855
```

Example prompt: Fetch the page at https://news.ycombinator.com and convert its content to Markdown using the European probe — I want to see the current headlines as plain text.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to fetch and read a live webpage's content as Markdown from a European network perspective — especially useful for geo-checking EU availability, converting public pages for LLM ingestion, or verifying content without storing credentials. Prefer it over generic scraping APIs when no API key setup is desired and micropayment-per-call billing (USDC on Base) is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Non-public or auth-gated URLs return 401/403 with no content
- Unreachable hosts return a timeout or connection error status
- Very large pages may have their Markdown output truncated (truncated: true)
- Malformed or non-HTTP URLs will be rejected by the input schema
- Payment failure via x402 will block the request before it is processed

## How this service works

Pay-per-call website uptime/latency/TLS checks and fetch-to-Markdown, measured from Hub Europe (Germany). USDC on Base via x402. No account or API key.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the final URL (after redirects), the page title, the HTTP status code (e.g. 200), the full page content converted to Markdown text, and a boolean indicating whether the content was truncated.
