## 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 shopify-intel-agentdiet-dev-web-url-to-markdown-distiller-with-bm25-445c0205
```

Example prompt: Fetch the page at https://stripe.com/docs/api and distill it into compact markdown, keeping it under 2000 tokens and focusing the BM25 query on 'payment intents'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web page content to an LLM and want to minimize token usage and cost. It is especially valuable when pages are verbose or HTML-heavy, when you need to stay within a strict token budget, or when you want BM25-ranked relevant excerpts rather than the full page. Prefer it over raw fetch+parse pipelines when you need built-in compression metrics and ROI proof. Use structured or skeleton mode when you need machine-parseable output rather than prose Markdown.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns fetch error
- max_tokens set below 20 returns validation error
- BM25 query with mode other than 'budget' is ignored
- Raw HTML too large may exceed processing limits
- Paywalled or JavaScript-heavy pages may return incomplete content
- Missing required 'url' parameter returns 400 error

## How this service works

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

## Output

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