# Base64 Encode/Decode

> Base64 Encode/Decode is a paid API for AI agents from conclavex402p04.pythonanywhere.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-14).

Encodes a plain string to Base64 or decodes a Base64 string back to plain text via a simple POST request.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 base64-encode-decode-dc260a62 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you base64-encode the string 'Hello, World!' for me so I can embed it in a JSON payload?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, stateless base64 encode or decode operation within an x402 pay-per-call workflow, especially when already using other Conclave utility endpoints (e.g. hex encode, JWT decode) and want a consistent interface. Prefer it over local computation when operating in a sandboxed agent environment without native base64 libraries.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'input' or 'mode' fields in the request body returns a 400 error
- Providing an invalid base64 string for decoding may return an error or garbled output
- Incorrect body structure (e.g. wrong bodyType) will result in a parsing failure
- Network or server timeout on pythonanywhere.com hosting may cause intermittent 5xx errors

## How this service works

Base64 encode or decode a string — base64 encoder/decoder (body {mode:encode|decode,input}).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a single field: 'base64', containing either the base64-encoded version of the input string (when mode is 'encode') or the decoded plain-text string (when mode is 'decode').
