## 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-html-distillation-with-bm25-budget-f73be5b4
```

Example prompt: Distill the webpage at https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown, using budget mode focused on the query 'payment intents API' with a max of 500 tokens, so I can read only the most relevant content.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read web pages or HTML content while minimizing LLM token consumption. It is especially valuable when you need BM25-ranked relevance filtering (budget mode) to extract only the content matching a specific query, or when you want structured JSON tables/metadata rather than raw HTML. Prefer it over generic scrapers when token cost reduction and ROI proof are important, or when you need multiple distillation modes (markdown, structured, skeleton, budget) from a single API.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status instead of distilled content
- Missing required 'url' parameter causes a validation error
- mode=budget without a 'query' parameter may produce degraded or fallback output
- Very large pages or slow-loading URLs may increase latency or time out
- Raw HTML passed via 'html' that is malformed or empty may yield sparse output
- Token budget too low (below 20) is rejected by schema validation

## 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/markdown-distill)

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled content in the requested format (Markdown, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-ranked excerpt), plus an 'roi_proof' object showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Optionally includes cache status (HIT/MISS) and billing details.
