## 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-url-to-markdown-converter-bcf58da5
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence and convert it to clean markdown so I can feed it into my LLM pipeline without all the HTML noise?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed webpage content into an LLM and want to minimize token usage by removing HTML boilerplate. It is ideal for agentic pipelines that need to ingest arbitrary web URLs as readable text. Prefer it over generic scrapers when token efficiency and semantic clarity are the priority, especially for research, summarization, or content analysis workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error with no markdown output
- Rate-limited or paywalled pages may return empty or partial content
- Dynamic JavaScript-rendered pages may not be fully captured if JS execution is not supported
- Malformed URL input causes a validation error
- Very large pages may timeout or return truncated markdown

## 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/url-to-markdown)

## Output

Returns the webpage content as clean, semantically distilled Markdown text, with 85–97% of HTML token bloat removed — including navigation, scripts, ads, and structural HTML tags — leaving only the meaningful readable content.
