# LIN Desk YAML to JSON Converter

> LIN Desk YAML to JSON Converter is a paid API for AI agents from lin-desk-x402.lindesk.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Converts a YAML string into formatted JSON via a pay-per-call GET API endpoint.

## Facts

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 lin-desk-yaml-to-json-converter-4075f773
```

Example prompt: Convert this YAML snippet to JSON for me: 'name: alice\ntags:\n  - a\n  - b' — use an indent of 2.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, stateless, pay-per-call YAML-to-JSON conversion without API keys or signup overhead. Ideal for AI agent pipelines that occasionally need to reformat YAML configs, specs, or data blobs into JSON programmatically on Base/USDC micropayment rails.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed YAML input returns a validation error with error details in the errors array
- Input payload exceeding 100 KiB limit is rejected
- Missing required 'input' query parameter causes a 400-level error
- Non-YAML content (e.g. binary data) may fail parsing silently or with an error array

## How this service works

Pay-per-call API for AI agents: turn any public web page or PDF into clean, LLM-ready Markdown. $0.002 per call in USDC on Base via x402. No API key, no signup.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the operation name ('yaml2json'), the parsed representation of the YAML as a native object, the serialized JSON string result with requested indentation, and elapsed processing time in milliseconds.
