Fetches a webpage URL or raw HTML and distills it into compact, agent-ready tokens using configurable extraction modes (markdown, structured, skeleton, or BM25-focused budget) with token savings reporting.

## 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-web-url-distiller-html-compressor-with-72882077
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout and distill it into clean markdown, keeping it under 800 tokens using budget mode focused on 'payment intent setup'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read a webpage but must stay within a token budget — particularly when the raw HTML is bloated with navigation, ads, or boilerplate. It is especially valuable in agentic pipelines where LLM context costs matter, and the BM25 budget mode lets you focus extraction on a specific query topic rather than the entire page. Prefer it over generic scrapers when you need token savings metrics alongside the content.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- URL behind login walls or paywalls may return empty or partial content
- max_tokens set below 20 is rejected by schema validation
- BM25 budget mode without a query may return unfiltered content
- Very large HTML payloads may exceed processing limits
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if agent wallet is insufficient

## 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/v1/pdf-extract)

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing distilled content (markdown text, JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-filtered excerpt depending on mode), plus an 'roi_proof' object showing raw_tokens, distilled_tokens, tokens_saved, compression_ratio_pct, roi_multiplier, and llm_cost_saved_usd. Also includes optional cache hit/miss status and billing metadata.
