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 token-intel-agentdiet-dev-web-distill-with-bm25-budget-control-7a8a051d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the page at https://stripe.com/docs/api and distill it into a BM25 budget excerpt focused on 'payment intents' keeping it under 500 tokens so I can feed it to my LLM without blowing the context window.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to feed web content into an LLM but want to minimize token usage and cost — especially when using mode=budget with a BM25 query to extract only the most relevant passage from a large page. Prefer over generic scrapers when token compression and ROI metrics matter, or when you need structured JSON tables or skeleton outlines rather than raw HTML dumps.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns a fetch error
- Missing required 'url' field returns a 400 validation error
- max_tokens set below 20 returns a validation error
- BM25 query provided without mode=budget may be ignored
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) blocks execution
- HTML-only input without url field requires 'html' field to be populated

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a distilled payload in the requested mode (Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25 excerpt), along with an ROI proof object showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved. Also includes cache hit/miss status and billing details.
