# DOM Stripper – URL/HTML Distillation with BM25 Budget Control

> DOM Stripper – URL/HTML Distillation with BM25 Budget Control is a paid API for AI agents from sec-intel.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-23).

Fetches and distills any URL or raw HTML into clean Markdown, structured JSON, a skeleton outline, or a BM25-ranked token-budget excerpt for LLM cost reduction.

## 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 sec-intel-agentdiet-dev-dom-stripper-url-html-distillation-with-bm25-206c9f4d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Grab the Stripe pricing page at https://stripe.com/pricing and distill it into clean markdown, keeping it under 800 tokens and focusing on the query 'payment processing fees'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to reduce the token cost of feeding web content to an LLM — especially for documentation pages, news articles, or financial filings. Prefer it over raw web fetching when token budget matters or when you need BM25-ranked relevance filtering. Use budget mode with a query when you only need the most relevant excerpt. Prefer it over general-purpose scrapers when you need ROI proof (compression ratio, cost saved) returned alongside the content.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns a fetch error with status detail
- HTML too large or malformed may yield incomplete distillation
- mode=budget without a 'query' parameter may fall back to default truncation
- max_tokens set below content minimum may produce very short or empty excerpts
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC payment is not completed
- Rate limiting or timeouts on slow target pages may cause partial results

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://sec-intel.agentdiet.dev/v1/dom-stripper)

## Output

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