# NATO OpenVerbs Morse Code Encoder

> NATO OpenVerbs Morse Code Encoder is a paid API for AI agents from nato.openverbs.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Encodes a text string into international (ITU) Morse code, with letters separated by spaces and words by '/'.

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 nato-openverbs-morse-code-encoder-f168094f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you convert the text 'Hello World' into Morse code for me, using the standard ITU format with slashes between words?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need reliable, standards-compliant ITU Morse code encoding for text containing letters, digits, and common punctuation. It handles word separation automatically with '/' and is a fast, low-cost per-call service ideal for embedding in educational tools, radio apps, or encoding pipelines. Prefer this over a general-purpose LLM for Morse encoding because it guarantees spec-correct output rather than approximated results.

## Known failure modes

- Input contains characters not in A-Z, 0-9, or supported punctuation — returns HTTP 400
- Empty or missing 'text' field — returns HTTP 400 due to minLength:1 constraint
- Malformed JSON body — returns HTTP 400
- Payment not included or insufficient — returns HTTP 402

## How this service works

Encode text into international (ITU) Morse code. Letters are separated by spaces and words by "/". Supports A-Z, 0-9 and common punctuation; unsupported characters are clean 400s.

## Output

A Morse-encoded string where each letter is represented by its ITU dot-dash sequence, individual letters are separated by spaces, and words are separated by '/'. Unsupported characters result in a clean 400 error.
