How this service works
Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://mesh.agentdiet.dev/v1/url-to-markdown)
Output
Returns a distilled representation of the target webpage in the requested mode (Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton, or BM25 budget excerpt), along with ROI metadata including 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.
Example use cases
Research doc compression for agent
“Fetch https://docs.openai.com/api-reference and distill it into structured JSON tables so I can query the API reference without blowing my token budget.”
Focused Q&A grounding from live page
“Grab https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_(deep_learning_architecture) and extract just the content relevant to 'attention mechanism' in budget mode with a max of 300 tokens.”
Skeleton outline of a long article
“Distill https://www.paulgraham.com/startupideas.html into a skeleton outline so I can see the high-level structure of the essay without reading the whole thing.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://mesh.agentdiet.dev/v1/url-to-markdown?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read and act on live web content but wants to minimize LLM token consumption. It is especially valuable when the target page is verbose and only a focused subset of content is needed (use budget mode with a BM25 query). Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you need built-in token budgeting, compression metrics, and structured output modes in a single call.
Side effects
- URL unreachable or returns non-200 status — endpoint may return an error status
- URL points to a non-HTML resource (PDF, binary) — distillation may fail or return empty
- max_tokens set too low for meaningful extraction — truncated or empty budget excerpt
- BM25 query does not match any content on the page — sparse or empty result
- Raw HTML input is malformed — distillation quality may degrade
- Payment not authorized — 402 response with payment required details
