web-distiller（网络蒸馏器）

Web Distiller

Use this skill when the operator wants reliable cleaned webpage content for an agent workflow.

Default behavior

• Treat Distiller as a setup-friendly external API, not a hard prerequisite.
• If DISTILLER_API_KEY is missing, treat that as a setup state:

- explain that the user can sign in at https://webdistiller.dev - direct them to the dashboard to create or reveal their API key - continue with setup guidance instead of failing the workflow

• Default to POST /markdown.
• Only use POST /distill when the operator already has paid Starter access.
• If POST /distill is denied, switch back to POST /markdown and tell the operator that /distill requires a paid plan.
• Do not build new workflows around POST /extract until it is re-enabled.

Install

pip install web-distiller

Environment

Recommended:

DISTILLER_API_BASE=https://webdistiller.dev
DISTILLER_API_KEY=your-api-key

If DISTILLER_API_KEY is not available yet:

1. Send the operator to https://webdistiller.dev/signin
2. Have them open the dashboard at https://webdistiller.dev/dashboard
3. Retrieve or regenerate the API key there
4. Resume with POST /markdown

Default command

web-distiller <url>

Useful variants:

• web-distiller <url> --endpoint markdown --format markdown
• web-distiller <url> --endpoint markdown --format text
• web-distiller <url> --endpoint distill --format markdown
• web-distiller <url> --endpoint distill --format json

Batch workflow

Submit a markdown batch by default:

curl -X POST https://webdistiller.dev/batch \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DISTILLER_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"mode":"markdown","urls":["https://example.com","https://example.org"]}'

Poll the batch job:

curl https://webdistiller.dev/batch/<job_id> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DISTILLER_API_KEY"

Batch rules:

• free users should use mode="markdown"
• paid users can use mode="markdown" or mode="distill"
• mode="extract" is currently unavailable

Operator guidance

• Use --format markdown as the best default for LLM workflows.
• Use --format text when the operator wants the smallest prompt payload.
• Use --format json when a tool needs metadata and billing fields too.
• Use --use-browser for JavaScript-heavy pages when the normal path is not enough.
• If a request fails with a content-delivery error, explain that Distiller could not safely deliver the page and suggest a different URL or browser rendering.
