## 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-to-compact-markdown-distiller-with-73a21b7f
```

Example prompt: Can you distill the content at https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown using budget mode, focused on 'payment intents', and keep it under 500 tokens?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to compress web page content into fewer tokens before passing it to an LLM, especially when operating under strict context window budgets. It is particularly valuable when you want BM25-ranked relevance filtering (mode=budget with a query) to surface only the most topically relevant content. Prefer it over raw web scraping when you need clean markdown output with quantified compression metrics. It is also ideal when you already have raw HTML and want to avoid a second network fetch.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 — endpoint may return an error status
- URL points to a non-HTML resource (PDF, binary) — may fail to parse
- max_tokens too low for meaningful distillation — may return truncated or minimal content
- query parameter missing when mode=budget — BM25 focus may not apply correctly
- Payment not provided or x402 authorization fails — request blocked
- HTML passed is malformed or empty — distillation produces empty or error response

## 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/markdown-distill)

## Output

Returns a data object containing the distilled content (markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt depending on mode), plus roi_proof metadata showing raw token count, distilled token count, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, ROI multiplier, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Also includes optional cache status and billing details.
