> Web URL Distiller 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 2026-10-21).

Fetches a webpage by URL (or accepts raw HTML) and distills it into compact, agent-ready tokens using markdown, structured, skeleton, or BM25-focused budget 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 sec-intel-agentdiet-dev-web-url-distiller-with-bm25-budget-control-1bde7582
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments and distill it into compact markdown, keeping it under 500 tokens and focusing on 'payment intents'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed live web content into an LLM pipeline but want to minimize token consumption. It is especially valuable when working with large documentation pages, news articles, or HTML payloads where only a subset of content is relevant — the BM25 budget mode lets you focus extraction on a specific query topic with a strict token ceiling. Prefer it over raw scraping tools when your agent needs clean markdown or structured output rather than raw HTML, and when cost per web fetch matters at scale.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- Paywalled or bot-protected pages may return empty or partial content
- mode=budget without a query or max_tokens may behave like default markdown mode
- Very large pages may exceed processing limits or take longer
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## 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/web-scrape)

## Output

Returns a data object containing the distilled content (markdown, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-filtered excerpt), along with an ROI proof block showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio percentage, tokens saved, LLM cost saved in USD, and ROI multiplier. Also includes cache status (HIT/MISS) and billing details.
