# SlidingBox One-Shot Encrypted Blob Hydrate

> SlidingBox One-Shot Encrypted Blob Hydrate is a paid API for AI agents from slidingbox.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Retrieves and permanently deletes a one-shot encrypted blob identified by a unique pointer, consuming and invalidating the pointer in a single atomic paid operation.

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 slidingbox-one-shot-encrypted-blob-hydrate-1af86529
```

Example prompt: Fetch my one-time slidingbox secret at pointer sb_ItH7PmTQL6kCLfQqxRbshaLRvRuekYCs-DfAEtXG098 — it's a one-shot blob so it'll be permanently deleted the moment you retrieve it, and payment will be charged automatically.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve a secret, credential, or payload that was specifically shared via a SlidingBox one-shot pointer and must be consumed exactly once. This is the canonical endpoint for read-once ephemeral secret delivery where the sender intentionally chose SlidingBox's burn-after-reading model. Prefer this over general secret managers when the use case requires atomic consume-and-destroy semantics guaranteed by pay-per-read enforcement.

## Known failure modes

- 404 Not Found — pointer has already been consumed (blob was previously retrieved and deleted) or pointer never existed
- 402 Payment Required — x402 payment was not provided or was insufficient ($0.02 USDC required)
- Invalid pointer format — the pointer string is malformed or corrupted
- Network timeout — blob could not be retrieved within the response window, though pointer invalidation state may be ambiguous

## How this service works

Pay per request (x402) to retrieve and permanently delete a one-shot encrypted blob by pointer. The pointer is invalidated the instant this call succeeds; a second hydrate against the same pointer always 404s, paid or not.

## Output

The decrypted contents of the one-shot encrypted blob associated with the given pointer. After a successful call, the pointer is permanently invalidated and any subsequent attempt to hydrate the same pointer will return a 404 error. The caller receives the plaintext payload that was stored in the blob.
