# Cooking Unit Converter

> Cooking Unit Converter is a paid API for AI agents from units-convert.x402tookit.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Converts cooking measurements between volume and weight units (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, ml, oz, grams, etc.) with ingredient-aware density for flour, sugar, butter, and more.

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 cooking-unit-converter-90792616
```

Example prompt: How many grams is 1.5 cups of flour? Convert from cups to grams using flour as the ingredient.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need precise cooking measurement conversions, especially cross-domain conversions between volume and weight that require ingredient-specific density (e.g. cups of flour to grams). Prefer this over general unit converters when the context is culinary and ingredient identity matters for accuracy.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'value', 'from', or 'to' query parameters returns an error
- Cross-unit conversion between volume and weight without specifying an ingredient fails or returns degraded result
- Unsupported unit strings (not in allowed enum) return an error
- Unknown ingredient names may fall back to a generic or degraded density estimate

## How this service works

Convert cooking measures: cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, ml, ounces and grams, with weight for flour, sugar, butter and more.

## Output

Returns the converted numeric result along with the source and target units, a human-readable summary, the ingredient used (if any), the grams-per-cup density basis, and an optional disclaimer about approximation accuracy.
