# ForgeMesh Radix Converter

> ForgeMesh Radix Converter is a paid API for AI agents from x402.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-16).

Converts a number from any positional base (2–36) to any other positional base, including binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal.

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 forgemesh-radix-converter-10752920 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert the decimal number 255 to hexadecimal — I want to see the hex representation for a color code I'm working on.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, exact, pay-per-call radix conversion without setting up a local library or runtime. It is especially useful in agent pipelines that need on-the-fly base conversion (e.g. hex color manipulation, binary encoding, compiler preprocessing) without installing language-specific math utilities. Prefer this over manual computation or LLM guessing for correctness guarantees.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid characters in value for the given from_base (e.g. '9' in base 8) — likely returns an error or unexpected result
- from_base or to_base outside the 2–36 range — rejected or undefined behavior
- Empty or missing value field — endpoint may error
- Non-integer or floating-point input — may not be supported
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — x402 payment required before processing

## How this service works

Convert a number from one positional numbering system to another, including binary, octal, hex, and custom bases up to 36. Useful for compiler and assembler tooling, color-code translation, checksum work, and computer-science education. Exact digit-by-digit computation replaces manual long division and avoids off-by-one radix mistakes.

## Output

The converted number as a string in the target base. For example, passing value '255', from_base '10', to_base '16' returns 'ff'. The output represents the exact positional-notation form of the input in the requested base.
