# Delx ULID Generate

> Delx ULID Generate is a paid API for AI agents from api.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

Generates a Crockford Base32-encoded ULID (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier) for $0.001 USDC per call.

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-ulid-generate-cec91dc7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a fresh ULID for me — I need a Crockford Base32 unique sortable identifier for a new database record.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a server-generated, time-ordered, globally unique identifier in Crockford Base32 ULID format without standing up your own ULID generation service — especially useful in agent workflows where you need a guaranteed-fresh ULID on demand with a micro-payment model rather than managing a library dependency.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required error
- Missing or malformed x402 payment header results in rejection
- Service unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Generate Crockford Base32 ULIDs 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 a single Crockford Base32-encoded ULID string — a 26-character, lexicographically sortable unique identifier that embeds a millisecond-precision timestamp in its high bits followed by random bits, suitable for use as a primary key, event ID, or correlation token.
