How this service works
Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1/url-to-markdown)
Output
Returns a 'data' object containing the distilled content in the requested format (Markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt), along with ROI proof metrics (raw token count, distilled token count, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, estimated LLM cost saved in USD), optional cache status (HIT/MISS with latency), and billing info (fee charged in USD, agent ID, payment method).
Example use cases
Token-budget research for LLM context
“I need to pull in the content from https://openai.com/research/gpt-4 but I only have 1500 tokens of context left — can you distill it in budget mode with the BM25 query 'multimodal capabilities' so I only get the most relevant parts?”
Structured data extraction from product page
“Grab https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ and distill it in structured mode so I get the pricing tables as clean JSON I can reason over.”
Skeleton outline of documentation site
“Get me a skeleton outline of https://docs.github.com/en/actions so I can quickly understand the overall structure of the Actions documentation without reading the whole thing.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev/v1/url-to-markdown?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read a webpage but must stay within a strict token budget, or when raw HTML is too verbose for direct inclusion in an LLM prompt. Prefer it over generic scrapers when you need built-in compression metrics (tokens saved, ROI multiplier) and multiple output modes including BM25-focused excerpting. Especially valuable in agentic workflows where context window efficiency is critical and you want to pay per-call with micropayments rather than managing a scraping infrastructure.
Side effects
- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- URL blocked by robots.txt or anti-scraping measures may return empty or partial content
- max_tokens set below 20 is rejected by schema validation
- mode=budget without a query may produce suboptimal BM25 results
- Raw HTML too large may exceed processing limits
- Payment failure via x402 prevents request execution
- Cached responses (HIT) may be stale if the page has updated recently
