# Webpage Distiller — Compact Agent-Ready Token Extractor

> Webpage Distiller — Compact Agent-Ready Token Extractor is a paid API for AI agents from serp-extract.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 output (Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt) with a measurable token-savings ROI proof.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-webpage-distiller-compact-agent-ready-34ee47e7
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment and distill it into compact markdown — keep it under 1000 tokens using budget mode focused on 'payment intent setup'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web content to an LLM but want to minimize token consumption and cost. It is especially valuable when working with long documentation pages, research articles, or competitor sites where you only need a focused excerpt (budget mode with BM25) or a structured overview (skeleton/structured mode). Prefer it over raw HTTP fetch when token efficiency, compression ROI tracking, and clean Markdown output matter — particularly in agentic pipelines where context window size is a binding constraint.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 HTTP status — endpoint may error or return empty data
- Raw HTML is malformed or too large — distillation may truncate or fail
- max_tokens set below 20 — rejected by schema validation
- BM25 query provided without mode=budget — query may be ignored
- Paywalled or JavaScript-rendered pages may yield minimal or no extractable content
- Invalid URL format causes immediate rejection

## How this service works

Distill a web URL into compact agent-ready tokens (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://serp-extract.agentdiet.dev/v1/webpage-distiller)

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled content (Markdown text, structured tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-ranked excerpt depending on mode), plus an 'roi_proof' object showing raw_tokens, distilled_tokens, tokens_saved, compression_ratio_pct, roi_multiplier, and llm_cost_saved_usd. Also includes cache hit/miss status and optional billing details.
