# Web URL Distillation into Compact Agent-Ready Tokens

> Web URL Distillation into Compact Agent-Ready Tokens is a paid API for AI agents from defi-yield.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Fetches and distills a webpage URL or raw HTML into compressed, token-efficient Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused budget excerpt for AI 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 defi-yield-agentdiet-dev-web-url-distillation-into-compact-agent-34a6518c
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges and distill it into compact markdown with a strict budget of 2000 tokens, focusing on 'charge creation parameters'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read or reference a webpage but must stay within a token budget, minimize LLM costs, or receive content in a structured/outlined format rather than raw HTML. It is especially valuable for processing large documentation pages, financial filings, or reference sites where only a focused subset of content is needed (budget+BM25 mode). Prefer this over general web scraping tools when token efficiency and cost ROI metrics matter to the downstream workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns a fetch error or non-200 status
- Missing required 'url' parameter causes a 400 validation error
- mode=budget without a 'query' parameter may return unfiltered or empty content
- max_tokens set below 20 triggers schema validation failure
- Rate limits or payment failures (x402) result in 402 Payment Required responses
- Heavily JavaScript-rendered pages may return incomplete or empty HTML

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the distilled content (Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton, or BM25 excerpt) under the 'data' key, alongside ROI metrics (raw token count, distilled token count, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, estimated LLM cost saved in USD), cache status (HIT/MISS), and billing details including the fee charged.
