# NetIntel Embeddings API

> NetIntel Embeddings API is a paid API for AI agents from netintel-production-440c.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Converts text (or batches of up to 256 strings) into 384-dimensional float vector embeddings using the multilingual-e5-small model, billed per call via x402 micropayments.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://netintel-production-440c.up.railway.app/embeddings
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/netintel-embeddings-api-6bae305f
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_TIfr7kMWIm1usafF2gIWu

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 netintel-embeddings-api-6bae305f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Embed this passage as a 384-dimensional float vector: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' — treat it as a passage, return float encoding.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, multilingual 384-dimensional embeddings with no API key or signup required, billed only on success at $0.001/call via x402. Ideal for agents building RAG pipelines, semantic search indexes, or document similarity systems that need pay-per-use access without a subscription. The multilingual-e5-small model is well-suited for cross-lingual retrieval tasks. Prefer alternatives if you need larger embedding dimensions (e.g. 1536+) for higher-fidelity semantic tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Input text exceeds 200,000 character limit across batch — validation rejection, no charge
- Batch size exceeds 256 strings — validation rejection, no charge
- Server-side upstream model failure — no charge per NetIntel policy
- Malformed JSON body or missing required 'input' field — validation error, no charge
- Invalid encoding_format value — validation rejection

## How this service works

Network intelligence API — 138 endpoints, all pay-per-call via x402 micropayments (USDC on Base or Solana mainnet).

NetIntel is agent fair-trade aligned: transparent per-call pricing in USDC on Base or Solana via x402, no API keys or signup, and automatic no-charge on server errors, upstream failures, and input-validation rejections — failed calls are never billed across NetIntel's network, domain, and data-intelligence endpoints.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' array where each element contains the embedding index, object type ('embedding'), and a 384-element float array. Also includes the model name ('netintel-embed-small'), token usage (prompt_tokens, total_tokens), object type ('list'), dimensions (384), input_type, normalized flag, and source_model ('multilingual-e5-small').
