How this service works
Encode or decode text: base64, base64url, hex, URL percent-encoding, HTML entities, ROT13, binary, Unicode escapes and punycode, or detect to try decoding unknown input.
Output
The agent receives the transformed text result — either the encoded or decoded version of the input string — along with metadata about the operation performed (e.g. encoding format detected or applied). For 'detect' operations, the response includes the identified encoding type and the decoded value.
Example use cases
Decode mysterious base64 payload
“I found this string in a config file and I think it's base64 encoded — can you decode it? The string is 'dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA=='”
URL-encode text for query string
“I need to URL percent-encode this text so I can safely put it in a query parameter: 'hello world & goodbye = true'”
Auto-detect and decode unknown encoding
“I have this weird looking string and I'm not sure what encoding it is — can you detect what it is and decode it? The string is '48656c6c6f20576f726c64'”

Endpoint
GEThttps://bess-x402.onrender.com/v1/util/encode?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically encode or decode text in any of the supported formats (base64, base64url, hex, URL encoding, HTML entities, ROT13, binary, Unicode escapes, punycode) — especially when you don't know the encoding type and want auto-detection. It covers a broad range of common encoding formats in a single endpoint, making it ideal for general-purpose text transformation tasks in agent workflows.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed input text that cannot be decoded in the specified format
- Unsupported encoding operation name returns an error
- Missing required 'text' query parameter returns a validation error
- Auto-detect ('detect' operation) may fail or return ambiguous results if the input matches multiple encodings
- Non-UTF-8 binary data passed as text may cause decoding errors
