# Webpage Distiller – Compact Agent-Ready Token Extraction

> Webpage Distiller – Compact Agent-Ready Token Extraction is a paid API for AI agents from hn-pulse.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-22).

Fetches a URL or raw HTML and distills it into compact, token-efficient markdown, structured JSON, outline skeleton, or BM25-focused budget excerpt for AI agents.

## 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-webpage-distiller-compact-agent-ready-token-4576871f
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments and distill it into markdown using budget mode with a focus query on 'payment intents' and a 300-token ceiling, so I can inject just the relevant bits into my agent context.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ingest web page content efficiently without blowing its context window — especially when token cost is a concern, when only a focused subset of a page is needed (BM25 budget mode), or when structured extraction (tables, metadata) or outline skeletons are preferable to raw HTML. It is ideal for agentic pipelines that repeatedly fetch documentation, competitor pages, or news articles and need high compression ratios with provable ROI metrics.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- max_tokens below minimum of 20 causes a validation error
- mode=budget without a query may return unfiltered content
- Raw HTML too large may time out or exceed processing limits
- Paywalled or bot-protected pages may return incomplete content
- Missing required 'url' parameter causes a 400-level error

## 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/webpage-distiller)

## Output

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