How this service works
Count characters, words, and lines. Call before truncating prompts, validating SMS length, or estimating token budget from raw text. Returns character, word, line, and byte-oriented counts in one JSON object. $0.001 USDC per successful call via x402 on Base—deterministic first-party JSON, no API key, no subscription, and nothing is billed on structured validation errors.
Output
A JSON object containing numeric counts for characters, words, lines, and bytes derived from the submitted text. All metrics are returned in a single response with no data retained.
Example use cases
SMS length validation before send
“Before I send this SMS message, check how many characters it has so I know if it fits in a single 160-character SMS: 'Hi! Your order #4821 has shipped and will arrive by Thursday. Reply STOP to unsubscribe.'”
Prompt budget check before LLM call
“Count the characters and words in this draft prompt so I can estimate whether it'll fit in my token budget: 'You are a helpful assistant. The user wants a detailed breakdown of their quarterly sales data including regional comparisons, trend analysis, and actionable recommendations for next quarter.'”
Content length audit for a blog post
“Can you tell me the word count, character count, and line count of this paragraph I wrote for my blog? 'Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace. From healthcare diagnostics to autonomous vehicles, the implications are profound and far-reaching.'”
