# Web URL Distillation to Agent-Ready Tokens

> Web URL Distillation to Agent-Ready Tokens is a paid API for AI agents from token-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 representations using BM25 budget control and multiple extraction modes.

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-url-distillation-to-agent-ready-tokens-2c3e35b9
```

Example prompt: Fetch and distill https://stripe.com/docs/api into compact markdown so I can read it without blowing my token budget — use budget mode with the query 'payment intents' and cap it at 2000 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read a webpage but must stay within a token budget, minimize LLM costs, or receive clean structured content rather than raw HTML. Especially valuable in agentic pipelines where multiple pages must be read sequentially and token efficiency is critical. Prefer over generic scrapers when BM25 query-focused extraction is needed to surface only the most relevant passages.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- Missing required 'url' parameter causes a 400-level error
- mode=budget without a query or max_tokens may return unfiltered content
- Paywalled or JavaScript-heavy pages may yield incomplete extraction
- Token budget too low (below 20) rejected with validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) blocks the request

## 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/paywall-clean-extract)

## Output

Returns a 'data' object containing the distilled content in the requested mode (Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt), plus an roi_proof block showing raw token count, distilled token count, tokens saved, compression ratio percentage, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Also includes cache status and billing details.
