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 llms-generator-agentdiet-dev-web-page-html-distiller-with-bm25-budget-e23b9c5c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment and distill it into clean Markdown, keeping it under 800 tokens and focused on the query 'how to accept a card payment' using budget mode.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web page content into an LLM pipeline but need to minimize token usage — particularly when you have a specific query focus (BM25 mode) or a hard token ceiling. It is preferable over generic scrapers when compression ratio and ROI proof matter, or when you want structured JSON tables or skeleton outlines rather than raw HTML dumps. Especially useful for agent workflows that must stay within context window limits.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — endpoint may return an error status
- URL points to a paywalled or bot-blocked page — content may be empty or partial
- max_tokens set too low for meaningful BM25 extraction — may return truncated or empty excerpt
- HTML input is malformed beyond recovery — distillation may fail or return minimal output
- Payment not attached or insufficient — 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a data object containing the distilled content (Markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt depending on mode), plus 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.
