# Delx Ceil N

> Delx Ceil N is a paid API for AI agents from api.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Rounds a number up to the nearest integer (ceiling function) and returns the ceiled value.

## Facts

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 delx-ceil-n-70023575 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the ceiling of 7.3? I need to know the minimum number of whole buckets required.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, stateless ceiling operation without setting up math libraries or compute environments, especially in agentic pipelines where paying $0.001 USDC per call is acceptable for convenience and auditability.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or non-numeric 'value' field returns a validation error
- Non-finite inputs (NaN, Infinity) may return an error or unexpected result
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no computation

## How this service works

Ceil a number to integer. Call when you need minimum whole buckets or page counts. Returns ceiled integer value for $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. No network, no keys, no retention; first-party local JSON only. Results are advisory; the caller owns budgets, auth, and production controls.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the ceiled integer value — the smallest integer greater than or equal to the input number. For example, 4.1 returns 5, and -2.9 returns -2.
