## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need server-side, API-based Traditional-to-Simplified Chinese conversion without setting up OpenCC locally, especially for AI agent workflows, content localization pipelines, or when processing text from Taiwan/HK sources for mainland Chinese audiences. Prefer over client-side libraries when you need a stateless, pay-per-use microservice integration.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing input text returns an error
- Non-Chinese text passed as input may be returned unchanged or cause unexpected results
- Very long text inputs may exceed payload limits
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
