# AgentDiet Web URL Distiller

> AgentDiet Web URL Distiller is a paid API for AI agents from agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Fetches a webpage URL (or raw HTML) and distills it into compact, agent-ready Markdown, structured JSON, a skeleton outline, or a BM25-focused token-budgeted excerpt

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 agentdiet-dev-agentdiet-web-url-distiller-9611b1bc
```

Example prompt: Distill https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact agent-ready markdown using budget mode, focused on 'payment intents', and keep it under 500 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to reduce the token footprint of a webpage before passing it to an LLM, especially when working with token-budget constraints or LLM cost optimization. It is particularly suited for AI agent pipelines that need to process live web content efficiently, including JavaScript-rendered SPAs. Prefer it over generic scrapers when you need BM25-focused relevance filtering, structured JSON extraction, or ROI-proof token compression metrics.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- JavaScript-heavy SPAs may fail to render if the fetcher times out
- max_tokens below minimum (20) causes a validation error
- BM25 query mode without a query string falls back to default behavior
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if agent payment header is missing or insufficient

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://agentdiet.dev/v1/spa-markdown-reader)

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled content (Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton, or BM25 excerpt), an 'roi_proof' object showing raw token count, distilled token count, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, LLM cost saved in USD, and ROI multiplier, plus optional cache status (HIT/MISS) and billing details.
