How this service works
Decode a base64, base64url, hex, base32, or URL percent-encoded string back into UTF-8 text. Malformed input for the chosen encoding is rejected as a clean 400.
Output
Returns the decoded UTF-8 text string corresponding to the input encoded value. If the input is malformed or invalid for the specified encoding, a 400 error is returned with a clean rejection message.
Example use cases
Decode base64 API response payload
“I got this base64-encoded string back from an API and I need to read what it actually says — can you decode 'SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkISBUaGlzIGlzIGEgdGVzdC4=' from base64 into plain text?”
Read URL percent-encoded query parameter
“This URL parameter is percent-encoded and I can't read it — can you decode 'Hello%20World%21%20How%20are%20you%3F' using URL encoding so I can see the actual text?”
Extract message from hex-encoded string
“Someone sent me a hex-encoded message and I need to know what it says — please decode '48656c6c6f2c20576f726c6421' from hex into readable UTF-8 text.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://text.openverbs.com/v1/decodeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a reliable, single-call decode from any of base64, base64url, hex, base32, or URL percent-encoding back to UTF-8 text, with strict validation that rejects malformed input cleanly. Prefer it over rolling your own decoding logic when correctness and error clarity matter, or when running in an agent context where a clean 400 on bad input is more useful than a silent failure.
Side effects
- Malformed or invalid characters for the chosen encoding → 400 Bad Request
- Input text exceeding 1,000,000 character limit → rejected
- Unsupported encoding type specified → validation error
- Empty input string → likely 400 or empty result
- Payment not provided or insufficient → 402 Payment Required
