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 x402-audit-agentdiet-dev-article-extractor-with-bm25-budget-control-111e51d5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the article at https://example.com/blog/ai-trends and distill it into markdown, keeping it under 500 tokens and focusing on the topic of 'large language model efficiency'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read web content but must stay within a token budget or minimize LLM inference costs. It is especially valuable when the full page HTML is noisy with boilerplate and ads, when only the most query-relevant passage is needed (mode=budget with BM25), or when structured tables and metadata need to be extracted from a page. Prefer over raw HTTP fetching or generic scrapers when token efficiency and cost tracking matter.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — fetch error returned
- HTML payload is malformed or empty — distillation yields empty result
- mode=budget used without a query field — BM25 ranking cannot proceed
- max_tokens set below 20 — rejected by schema validation
- Payment not included or insufficient — HTTP 402 response blocking execution
- Target URL is paywalled or requires authentication — content unavailable

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a JSON object with distilled content (markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, a section skeleton, or a BM25-ranked token-capped excerpt depending on mode), plus an ROI proof block showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Also includes cache hit/miss status and billing details.
