# AgentDiet PDF Extract

> AgentDiet PDF Extract is a paid API for AI agents from status.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-22).

Extracts and distills text content from a PDF URL, compressing it for token-efficient agent consumption

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-pdf-extract-5a36c531
```

Example prompt: Can you extract the text content from this PDF — https://example.com/report.pdf — and give me a compressed version that won't eat up my context window?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to process PDF documents without consuming excessive context window tokens — particularly useful when the source PDF is large or verbose and only the distilled textual content is needed. Ideal for agents operating under token constraints or cost budgets, where a 91%+ compression ratio provides significant savings.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible PDF URL returns error status
- PDF is password-protected or corrupted and cannot be parsed
- Network timeout when fetching remote PDF
- Unsupported PDF encoding or format
- Payment not settled in USDC on Base causing 402 response

## How this service works

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

## Output

A JSON response with a `data` object containing the extracted content, a `status` field indicating success, and a `roi_proof` object showing the compression ratio percentage (e.g. 91.4%) achieved relative to the raw PDF content.
