# Web URL to Compact Markdown Distiller (BM25 Budget Control)

> Web URL to Compact Markdown Distiller (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 URL or raw HTML and distills it into compact, token-efficient Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpts with strict token budget control.

## 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-to-compact-markdown-distiller-bm25-101ad0b3
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments and distill it into compact markdown — use budget mode with a BM25 query for 'payment intents' and cap it at 500 tokens so it fits in my context window?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web page content into an LLM but want to minimize token consumption — especially when working with long documentation pages, news articles, or HTML-heavy sites. It is particularly valuable when you have a strict token budget (use budget+BM25 mode) or need structured extraction from tables and metadata. Prefer it over raw HTTP fetch or generic scrapers when token efficiency and ROI measurement matter to your agent pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- max_tokens below minimum of 20 rejected with validation error
- BM25 query with mode other than 'budget' may be ignored
- Raw HTML too large may exceed processing limits
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment not properly handled
- Paywalled or bot-blocked pages may return incomplete content

## 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/html-to-markdown)

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled content (Markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt depending on mode), plus an 'roi_proof' object showing raw vs distilled token counts, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, LLM cost saved in USD, and ROI multiplier. Also includes optional cache hit/miss status and billing details.
