## 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 serp-extract-agentdiet-dev-web-page-distiller-with-bm25-budget-control-705ae0b1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Distill the content at https://stripe.com/docs/api into compact markdown, and use budget mode focused on 'payment intents' with a max of 500 tokens so I can fit it in my context window.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to reduce the token footprint of web content before feeding it to an LLM, especially when context windows are constrained. The BM25 budget mode is uniquely suited for extracting only the most query-relevant passages from long pages. Prefer this over generic scrapers when you need built-in compression metrics and ROI proof of token savings.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns fetch error
- HTML too large may exceed processing limits
- BM25 budget mode requires both 'query' and 'max_tokens' fields
- max_tokens below minimum of 20 causes validation error
- Mode enum value outside allowed set causes 400 error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402

## How this service works

Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://serp-extract.agentdiet.dev/v1/web-scrape)

## Output

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