# Web URL Article Extractor & Distiller

> Web URL Article Extractor & Distiller is a paid API for AI agents from json-repair.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Fetches a webpage URL (or raw HTML) and distills it into compact, agent-ready tokens using BM25 budget control across multiple extraction modes

## 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 json-repair-agentdiet-dev-web-url-article-extractor-distiller-20cf2eef
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments and distill it into markdown, keeping it under 2000 tokens using budget mode with the query 'payment intents'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to consume web content without spending excessive LLM context tokens — especially when scraping documentation, articles, or structured pages. Prefer it over generic scrapers when token budget control (BM25 mode) or structured extraction is needed. Ideal for agentic pipelines that must stay within a token ceiling or want ROI proof of compression savings.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- URL blocked by robots.txt or paywall returns empty or partial content
- max_tokens set too low for meaningful extraction
- query parameter missing when mode=budget
- Raw HTML too large causes timeout or truncation
- Non-HTML content types (PDF, binary) may not distill correctly

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://json-repair.agentdiet.dev/v1/article-extractor)

## Output

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