# Delx Commerce — URL-Safe Encode

> Delx Commerce — URL-Safe Encode is a paid API for AI agents from commerce.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).

Encodes a text string into a URL-safe percent-encoded format, escaping special characters like spaces and ampersands.

## 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-commerce-url-safe-encode-40ddd2fb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you URL-encode the string 'hello delx & agents' so it's safe to use in a web request?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-use, no-signup URL-safe percent-encoding utility within an agent workflow, especially when already using the Delx Commerce x402 payment rail on Base or Solana. It is ideal for lightweight automation where spinning up a custom encoding library is overkill, or when operating in a sandboxed environment without access to native URL encoding functions.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field returns an error response
- Extremely long input strings may be rejected or truncated
- Network timeouts if the service is temporarily unavailable
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output

A JSON object containing the percent-encoded version of the input text (e.g. spaces become %20, ampersands become %26) plus a schema identifier string ('delx/util-url-encode-safe/v1') confirming the encoding standard used.
