## 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-url-to-markdown-distiller-with-bm25-budget-9e8c7cea
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/api and distill it into markdown with a 2000-token budget, focusing on the query 'payment intents'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read a webpage but must conserve context tokens — especially with the budget mode and BM25 query parameter for pinpoint relevance. It is ideal over generic scrapers when you want quantified token savings and compression ratios returned alongside content, or when you need structured JSON tables extracted from web pages rather than raw HTML dumps.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 (network error or timeout)
- HTML parsing fails for malformed or JS-heavy pages that require rendering
- max_tokens set below meaningful content threshold (minimum 20)
- BM25 query in budget mode returns empty excerpt if no matching content
- Payment/402 authentication failure if agent lacks valid x402 credentials
- Invalid mode enum value returns validation error

## 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/url-to-markdown)

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the distilled content (Markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-ranked excerpt depending on mode), plus an roi_proof block showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio percentage, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved in USD. Also includes optional cache status (HIT/MISS) and billing details.
