# ONE Engine Text Token Word Counter

> ONE Engine Text Token Word Counter is a paid API for AI agents from one-search.one-engine.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Counts the number of words in a given text string, up to 50,000 characters, returning token/word statistics.

## 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 one-engine-text-token-word-counter-133198e1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: How many words are in this text: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cheap, pay-per-call word/token count for arbitrary text strings up to 50,000 characters in an autonomous agent context. It is ideal when you want to avoid integrating a heavier NLP library locally, when operating in a cost-sensitive pipeline where $0.01 per call is acceptable, or when you need a lightweight stateless word count utility callable from an AI agent with x402 payment support on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeding 50,000 characters may be rejected or truncated
- Empty or missing 'text' field returns a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the call from executing
- Network timeout on the Cloudflare Worker edge node
- Malformed JSON body returns a 400-level error

## How this service works

Low-cost pay-per-call utility APIs for autonomous agents using x402 on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing word count and potentially token-level statistics derived from the submitted text. The exact fields are flexible (additionalProperties: true), but the primary output is a numerical count of words found in the input text.
