## 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 agentdiet-article-extractor-efa49eca
```

Example prompt: Extract the clean article text from https://example.com/some-news-story — strip all the ads, navigation, and boilerplate so I get just the readable content without wasting tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract readable article content from a URL while minimizing token consumption — ideal for RAG pipelines, LLM summarization tasks, or any workflow where feeding raw HTML would waste context window space. At $0.001/call with ~91% compression ratios, it is cost-effective for high-volume article ingestion compared to fetching raw HTML and cleaning it yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- Paywalled or bot-blocked pages may return incomplete content
- Non-article pages (homepages, SPAs) may yield poor extraction quality
- Missing required 'input' parameter returns schema validation error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns HTTP 402

## How this service works

Deterministic B2A/A2A/MCP/x402/MPP/L402 execution and intelligence node at https://rag-diet.agentdiet.dev settling in USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the extracted clean article content, a 'status' field ('ok' on success), and a 'roi_proof' object showing the compression_ratio_pct (e.g. 91.4%) achieved by stripping boilerplate.
