How this service works
Distill a URL or raw HTML payload with BM25 budget control (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://x402broker.com/v1/article-extractor)
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the distilled content (markdown text, structured JSON tables/metadata, skeleton outline, or BM25-focused excerpt depending on mode), plus an 'roi_proof' object showing raw vs distilled token counts, compression ratio, tokens saved, and estimated LLM cost saved, along with optional cache hit/miss status and billing details.
Example use cases
Research digest from paywalled article
“Pull the content from https://www.wired.com/story/ai-agents-future and distill it into structured markdown so I can read the key points without all the cruft.”
Token-budget extraction for RAG pipeline
“I need to feed this page into my context window — distill https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment in budget mode, focused on 'payment intent creation', and cap it at 300 tokens.”
Skeleton outline of a long documentation page
“Give me a skeleton outline of https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling so I can see the section structure without reading the whole thing.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://x402broker.com/v1/article-extractor?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ingest web content efficiently without blowing its context window — especially when you need BM25-focused excerpts around a specific query, want structured metadata extracted from a page, or need a skeleton outline for navigation. It is ideal for RAG pipelines, research agents, and any workflow where token cost from raw HTML ingestion is a concern. Prefer it over generic scrapers when token budget control and ROI metrics matter.
Side effects
- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error status
- URL behind login/paywall may return empty or partial content
- max_tokens set too low may produce truncated or empty excerpts
- mode=budget without a query may fall back to unfiltered truncation
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402
- Malformed HTML input may produce garbled markdown output
