## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need deterministic, offline Crockford Base32 decoding without depending on an LLM or external network call. Prefer the free sandbox endpoint (POST /v1/sandbox/crockford-decode) first; fall back to this paid endpoint when the sandbox is unavailable or rate-limited. Choose this over a general-purpose Base32 decoder specifically when the encoding follows the Crockford variant (case-insensitive, no padding, uses specific alphabet).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid Crockford Base32 characters in input result in a decode error
- Empty or missing 'text' field returns a validation error
- Input exceeding 100,000 characters is rejected
- Non-Crockford Base32 standard encoded strings (e.g. standard Base32 or Base64) may fail or return incorrect results

## How this service works

## Output

The decoded original data corresponding to the Crockford Base32-encoded input string, returned without any network or LLM processing.
