Delx Parse Float Safe
x402
Delx Parse Float Safe 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).
Parses a string as a floating-point number, returning a default integer value on failure instead of throwing an error
Price / call$0.001

StatusUnknown
How this service works
Parse float with default on failure. Call when you need fail-soft float parsing for agent inputs. Returns value and ok 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 with a numeric 'value' field (the parsed float if successful, or the caller-supplied default integer if parsing fails) and an 'ok' boolean indicating whether parsing succeeded.
Example use cases
Parsing user-entered price input
“The user typed '12.5x' as a price — try to parse it as a float and fall back to 0 if it's not valid.”
Extracting numeric sensor reading
“Parse this sensor string '---' as a float with a default of -1 so the pipeline doesn't crash if the reading is missing.”
Processing agent form field numbers
“I've got a form field that came back as '7.89' — parse it as a float with a default of 0 in case it's ever blank or garbage.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/parse-float-safeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need guaranteed fail-safe float parsing in an agent pipeline where malformed, missing, or user-supplied numeric strings are expected and crashing is unacceptable. Prefer it over native language parsing when you want a remote, stateless, auditable utility with a consistent JSON contract and no language-specific exception handling.
Side effects
- If 'text' is missing or empty, likely returns the default value with ok=false
- If 'default' is omitted, behavior may be undefined or return an error
- Non-string 'text' fields may cause a 400 validation error
- Network timeouts or payment failures (x402) return no result
- Extremely large or special float strings (Infinity, NaN) may or may not parse as ok=true depending on implementation
