# Web URL Token Optimizer & Distiller

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

Fetches and distills a web URL (or raw HTML) into compact, agent-ready tokens using BM25 budget control and multiple extraction modes

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 alpha-stream-agentdiet-dev-web-url-token-optimizer-distiller-45b799cf
```

Example prompt: Can you distill https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown, keeping it under 2000 tokens and focusing on the query 'payment intents' using budget mode?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ingest web page content but must stay within a token budget, minimize LLM costs, or extract only the most relevant segments of a page. It is especially valuable when processing lengthy documentation, news articles, or reference pages where full ingestion would be prohibitively expensive. Prefer it over raw web scraping when structured or budget-controlled output is needed.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 — fetch failure with error status
- URL resolves to non-HTML content (e.g. PDF, binary) — may return empty or malformed distillation
- max_tokens too low to meaningfully represent content — truncated or error response
- BM25 query finds no relevant segments — sparse or empty budget excerpt returned
- Rate limit or payment failure via x402 — 402 Payment Required with billing details
- Invalid mode enum value — validation error with allowed values listed

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a distilled version of the target webpage in the chosen format (Markdown, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt), along with ROI proof metrics (raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, estimated LLM cost saved) and optional cache status and billing info.
