# Semantic HTML Pruner — Web URL Distiller

> Semantic HTML Pruner — Web URL Distiller is a paid API for AI agents from x402-audit.agentdiet.dev, paid per call via MPP, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Fetches a webpage by URL (or accepts raw HTML) and distills it into compact, agent-ready tokens 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 x402-audit-agentdiet-dev-semantic-html-pruner-web-url-distiller-21abbf60
```

Example prompt: Distill https://stripe.com/docs/payments into compact markdown using budget mode, focused on 'payment intents', and keep it under 500 tokens.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read a webpage but the raw HTML is too large for the context window, or when LLM token costs must be minimized. It is especially useful when a BM25 focus query can pinpoint the relevant section, or when structured/skeleton modes are needed instead of full prose. Prefer it over generic scrapers when token-level ROI reporting matters.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- max_tokens set below 20 triggers a validation error
- mode=budget without a query may yield unfiltered truncation
- Private or bot-protected pages may return empty or incomplete content
- Very large pages may hit internal fetch limits before distillation
- Raw HTML input combined with a live URL fetch may cause conflicts

## 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/semantic-html-pruner)

## Output

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