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 whale-momentum-agentdiet-dev-url-to-markdown-distiller-with-bm25-775f94a5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the page at https://stripe.com/docs/api and distill it into markdown using budget mode, focused on the query 'payment intents', with a maximum of 2000 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to convert web pages or raw HTML into LLM-friendly formats while controlling token consumption. It is especially valuable when you have a strict token budget and need BM25-ranked relevance filtering, or when you want to reduce LLM API costs by pre-compressing web content. Prefer it over generic scrapers when you need structured JSON tables, skeleton outlines, or topic-focused excerpts rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- URL unreachable or returns non-200 HTTP status — endpoint may return an error status
- Invalid or malformed URL — returns validation error
- Token budget too small (below 20) — schema validation rejection
- BM25 query mode used without providing a query string — may return unfiltered or error response
- Raw HTML too large — may time out or return partial results
- Payment failure via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled content (Markdown, structured JSON, skeleton outline, or BM25 budget excerpt), an 'roi_proof' object showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD, plus optional cache hit/miss status and billing details.
