How this service works
Persian and Iranian utilities for AI agents, plus general text/Unicode tooling. Jalali (Solar Hijri) calendar conversion, Iranian national ID / SHEBA / bank card / postal code / economic code validation, province and city lookup, official public holidays, Persian text normalization, keyword extraction, sentence splitting, similarity, HTML stripping, RTL fixing, Unicode homoglyph folding, script detection, NFC/NFD normalization, grapheme counting, date description, business-day counting, slugify, FNV-1a hashing, Shannon entropy, format and encoding detection, byte sizes. Pay per call in USDC on Base via x402 - no signup, no API key, no KYC. The same tools are also exposed as MCP tools at /mcp.
Output
Returns a JSON object indicating the detected encoding name (e.g., UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, Windows-1256, CP1256) along with likely confidence or metadata about the detection result.
Example use cases
Decoding legacy Iranian documents
“I have raw bytes from an old Iranian government PDF and I'm not sure if it's Windows-1256 or UTF-8 — can you detect the encoding of these bytes so I can decode them properly: '2K/2l9mI2YU='?”
Fixing garbled Persian web scrape
“I scraped some Persian text from a website and it came out garbled. Here are the raw bytes — can you tell me what encoding they are so I can re-decode them correctly: 'uPolitics Persian bytes here'?”
Pre-processing multilingual email content
“Before I normalize this Persian email body, I need to know its encoding. Can you detect the charset for these bytes from the email: 'xyzABCbytes'?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://irantools.johnaio281.workers.dev/api/iran/detect_encoding?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to identify the character encoding of raw bytes, especially for Persian, Arabic, or other Middle Eastern text that may use Windows-1256, CP1256, or similar legacy encodings. It is part of a broader IranTools suite and is particularly well-suited for pipelines that process Iranian documents, legacy files, or scraped Persian web content before normalization or Unicode conversion.
Side effects
- Missing or empty 'bytes' field returns a validation error
- Ambiguous byte sequences may return low-confidence or multiple candidate encodings
- Very short byte inputs may not provide enough signal for accurate detection
- Non-base64 or malformed byte strings may cause parsing errors
- Extremely rare encodings may not be recognized
