How this service works
Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the raw byte count as an integer, a human-readable size string (e.g. '1.5KB'), and a schema identifier ('delx/parse-bytes/v1') confirming the response format.
Example use cases
Payload size check before API call
“Before I send this JSON body to the external API, can you tell me how many bytes it is? Here's the text: '{"user":"alice","message":"Hello, world!","timestamp":1700000000}'”
Validate text fits within limit
“I need to know the byte size of this article excerpt to make sure it's under 10KB — can you parse it for me? The text is: 'Artificial intelligence is transforming industries at an unprecedented rate, reshaping how we work, communicate, and create value across every sector of the global economy.'”
Monitor token-adjacent size of AI prompt
“Can you measure the byte count of this prompt I'm about to send to an LLM? I want to track payload sizes. The prompt is: 'Summarize the following research paper abstract in three bullet points, focusing on methodology, results, and conclusions.'”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://commerce.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/parse-bytes?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, deterministic byte-count measurement of a text string without standing up any infrastructure. Ideal for agents that need to verify payload sizes before transmitting data, enforce size limits, or log text footprint metrics. At $0.001 USDC per call with no signup and pay-per-result pricing via x402, it suits agentic workflows that process variable volumes of text on demand.
Side effects
- Text input exceeds 100,000 character limit — returns validation error
- Empty or missing text field — may return zero bytes or a 400 error
- Non-UTF-8 encoded content may produce unexpected byte counts
- Payment not settled via x402 protocol — returns 402 Payment Required before processing
