## 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 x402broker-url-to-markdown-converter-d155a5b2
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ingest webpage content efficiently without token overhead from raw HTML — ideal for reading documentation, articles, landing pages, or any public URL where clean, Markdown-formatted text is needed at low cost ($0.001 USDC). Prefer over raw HTML fetch when token budget matters or when downstream LLM processing requires structured plain text.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 HTTP status — fetch fails with an error response
- URL points to a non-HTML resource (PDF, image, binary) — conversion may fail or return empty
- Paywalled or login-protected pages return only the auth wall content, not the full article
- JavaScript-rendered pages (SPA) may return incomplete content if the renderer doesn't execute JS
- Invalid or malformed URL in query params — schema validation error

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://x402broker.com/v1/url-to-markdown)

## Output

Returns the fetched webpage's content as semantically distilled Markdown, with 85-97% of HTML token bloat removed — leaving clean, readable, agent-consumable text with structure preserved where meaningful.
