# Web URL Context Distiller (BM25 Budget Control)

> Web URL Context Distiller (BM25 Budget Control) is a paid API for AI agents from hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Fetches a web URL or raw HTML and distills it into compact, agent-ready tokens using configurable modes including markdown, structured, skeleton, or BM25 budget-focused extraction.

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 hn-pulse-agentdiet-dev-web-url-context-distiller-bm25-budget-control-3d532bfb
```

Example prompt: Distill https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown so I can include the key info in my prompt without blowing my token budget — use budget mode with a focus query of 'payment intents' and cap it at 300 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to include web page content in its context window but must stay within token limits or minimize LLM cost. It is especially valuable when you need BM25-focused extraction (only the most relevant passages for a given query), when you want structured or skeleton views of a page rather than raw HTML, or when you need a cost-provable compression with ROI metrics. Prefer it over raw web scraping when token efficiency and agent-readiness of the output are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- URL unreachable or returns non-200 status — fetch error returned
- Invalid or missing url parameter — validation error
- Token budget too restrictive (max_tokens below minimum of 20) — parameter error
- BM25 query provided without mode=budget — query ignored or error
- Raw HTML too large to process within service limits — truncation or error
- Payment/402 not resolved — billing error blocking execution

## 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/context-diet)

## Output

Returns a distilled version of the target URL or HTML in the requested mode (markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt), along with ROI proof metrics showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, estimated LLM cost saved, and optionally cache status and billing details.
