How this service works
Estimate reading time from word count for $0.001 USDC. Call when you need this bounded result without an API key or subscription. Returns machine-readable JSON via x402 on Base or Solana. Limitation: results cover only the supplied input or one bounded public endpoint at request time; callers must verify before acting.
Output
Returns an estimated reading time (in minutes) calculated from the provided word count, based on average adult reading speed.
Example use cases
Blog post reading time badge
“I'm about to publish a blog post that's 850 words — what reading time should I show at the top of the article?”
Newsletter estimated read length
“My newsletter draft is 2400 words. Can you tell me how many minutes readers should expect to spend on it so I can include that in the subject line?”
Content length planning for UX
“We're building a landing page and the body copy is about 320 words — what reading time estimate should we display so users know it's a quick read?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/reading-timeWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap, single-call reading time estimate from a known word count — ideal for content pipelines, CMS enrichment, or editorial tooling where you already have the word count and just need the computed reading time label without building the calculation yourself.
Side effects
- Missing or non-numeric word count input returns a validation error
- Word count of zero or negative value may return an error or a zero-minute estimate
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 protocol error) blocks the request
