# NetIntel Text Statistics

> NetIntel Text Statistics is a paid API for AI agents from netintel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns instant, deterministic text statistics including character counts, word counts, sentence/paragraph counts, reading time, and speaking time for any input text.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://netintel.dev/text/stats
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402

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-text-statistics-045f315e
```

Example prompt: Can you get me the full text stats for this paragraph — word count, character count, reading time, sentence count, and longest word: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, deterministic, no-hallucination text metrics — especially for pre-processing steps in AI pipelines (chunking, embedding sizing, content moderation thresholds) or when you need accurate reading/speaking time estimates. Prefer this over LLM-based approaches when you need exact counts (not approximations) without any AI non-determinism, and when cost efficiency matters at $0.001 per call. No API key or account setup required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty text parameter returns an error — text must be 1 to 200,000 characters
- Text exceeding 200,000 characters is rejected
- Malformed query string or JSON body returns a bad request error
- Network timeout if the service is temporarily unavailable
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient or payment not processed

## How this service works

Instant text statistics — characters (with/without spaces), words, unique words, sentences, paragraphs, average word/sentence length, longest word, reading and speaking time. Deterministic, no LLM, no API key. For agents sizing content before summarizing, chunking, embedding, or posting. Pass text as ?text= (GET) or a JSON body (POST).

## Output

A JSON object with: total character count (including spaces), character count excluding spaces, word count, unique word count (case-insensitive), sentence count, paragraph count, average word length (2dp), average sentence length (2dp), longest word, reading time in seconds (at 200 wpm), speaking time in seconds (at 130 wpm), and a findings array (always empty on success).
