# Saylor Innovations Data Desk – Decimal/DMS Coordinate Converter

> Saylor Innovations Data Desk – Decimal/DMS Coordinate Converter is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-27).

Converts decimal latitude/longitude to DMS and DDM formats, or parses a DMS coordinate pair back to decimal degrees

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://saylorinnovations.com/api/geo/dms?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-27
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/saylor-innovations-data-desk-decimal-dms-coordinate-converter-8f4a8876
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap__-nEyRQvW8BCa1-n7Yho7

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 saylor-innovations-data-desk-decimal-dms-coordinate-converter-8f4a8876
```

Example prompt: Can you convert the decimal coordinates 40.7128, -74.0060 into degrees-minutes-seconds and degrees-decimal-minutes format?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call conversion between decimal degrees and DMS/DDM coordinate formats without running your own math library. Ideal for agents building geographic displays, navigation tools, or reports that require human-readable coordinate notation.

## Known failure modes

- Missing lat or lon query parameter returns an error
- Non-numeric or out-of-range values (lat outside ±90, lon outside ±180) may return an error or null parts
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC payment is not provided or rejected

## How this service works

Convert decimal latitude and longitude to degrees-minutes-seconds and degrees-decimal-minutes, or parse a DMS coordinate pair back to decimal degrees

## Output

Returns the original decimal lat/lon, the conversion direction, DMS and DDM representations, and broken-out parts (degrees, minutes, seconds, hemisphere) for both latitude and longitude.
