# AgentDiet Web Distillation API

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

Fetches a web URL (or accepts raw HTML) and distills it 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 email-verify-agentdiet-dev-agentdiet-web-distillation-api-6958c7d4
```

Example prompt: Can you distill https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown, using budget mode focused on 'payment intents' and keeping it under 500 tokens so I can fit it in my context window?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ingest web content but faces context window constraints or LLM token cost concerns. It is particularly valuable when you need focused extraction (BM25 budget mode narrows output to query-relevant passages), structured output from unstructured pages, or when passing raw HTML through your own pipeline. Prefer this over generic scrapers when token economy and agent-readiness of the output matter more than raw fidelity.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — distillation cannot proceed
- max_tokens set below 20 — rejected by schema validation
- mode=budget used without providing a query parameter — BM25 focus undefined
- Raw HTML provided alongside a URL — ambiguous input may cause unexpected behavior
- Payment not fulfilled via x402 — 402 response returned before distillation runs
- Target page requires JavaScript rendering — static fetch may miss dynamic content

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://email-verify.agentdiet.dev/api/diet)

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a 'data' field with the distilled content (markdown, structured tables, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt depending on mode), along with an 'roi_proof' object showing raw vs distilled token counts, tokens saved, compression ratio, LLM cost saved in USD, and ROI multiplier. Also includes cache status and billing details.
