x402
Agent402 ISO-8601 Duration Parser is a paid API for AI agents from agent402.co.uk, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).
Parses an ISO-8601 duration string (e.g. P1DT2H30M) into its component parts (days, hours, minutes, etc.) plus a total_seconds value

How this service works
Don't burn tokens on deterministic work. Go/no-go jobs first: payout preflight, text firewall (PII/secrets), budget check — then rails, calendars, finmath. x402 USDC on Base. UK + global. agent402.co.uk — not agent402.tools. $0.001–$0.002 USDC on Base. No API keys.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the duration broken into components (days, hours, minutes, and any other applicable fields like years/months), a boolean 'valid' flag indicating whether the input was a valid ISO-8601 duration, and a 'total_seconds' integer representing the full duration in seconds.
Example use cases
Scheduling agent interval parsing
“I have a recurring job set to run every P3DT12H — can you break that duration down into days and hours and also give me the total number of seconds so I can configure the scheduler?”
API response duration decoding
“I'm getting back a duration value of PT45M30S from a third-party API — can you parse that into its minute and second components and tell me the total seconds?”
User-input duration validation
“A user entered 'P2Y6M' as a subscription period — can you parse that ISO-8601 duration and confirm it's valid, showing me the years, months, and total seconds?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agent402.co.uk/v1/utils/durationWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs to programmatically interpret an ISO-8601 duration string — especially for scheduling, countdown logic, or converting calendar-sourced intervals into machine-usable seconds. Prefer it over manual string parsing when accuracy and validation are both required in a single call.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed ISO-8601 string returns valid: false
- Missing 'duration' field in request body causes a 400-level error
- Ambiguous durations involving months/years may use approximate second counts (e.g. 30-day month)
- Empty string input likely returns valid: false with zeroed components
