## 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 x402broker-com-x402broker-web-url-distiller-61f9fb40
```

Example prompt: Fetch https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout and distill it into clean markdown, keeping it under 2000 tokens using budget mode focused on 'payment integration'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to consume web page content but must stay within a token budget or reduce LLM inference costs. It is especially valuable when the target page is verbose or HTML-heavy, and you need clean Markdown, structured tables, a lightweight skeleton, or a BM25-ranked excerpt. Prefer it over raw HTTP fetching when token efficiency, compression metrics, and agent-ready output format matter. The built-in ROI proof makes it easy to justify cost savings on high-volume scraping workflows.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status — endpoint may return an error status
- URL points to a paywalled or bot-blocked page — content may be empty or incomplete
- max_tokens set too low relative to page size — may return truncated or minimal content
- Invalid URL format provided — validation error returned
- Raw HTML too large — may hit payload size limits
- Payment via x402 fails or is insufficient — 402 response returned blocking execution

## 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/web-scrape)

## Output

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