# PennyRail Base32 Encoding

> PennyRail Base32 Encoding is a paid API for AI agents from pennyrail.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Encodes data using Base32 encoding scheme via a paid micropayment 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 pennyrail-base32-encoding-041ab2ef -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you Base32-encode this string for me: 'Hello, World!' — I need the encoded output to use as a TOTP seed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-use Base32 encoding service without managing your own encoding library or infrastructure, especially in agent workflows where micropayment-gated APIs are acceptable and the encoding step is occasional or ad-hoc.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed 'input' field returns a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid or unparseable input object causes processing error
- Network timeout or Vercel cold-start latency causes delayed or failed response

## How this service works

Machine-readable settlement service

## Output
