x402
x402 Utils — Token Counter is a paid API for AI agents from qcb7fnxsbd7fbhj4.68r.lambda-web.us-east-1.on.aws, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).
Counts tokens, characters, words, and lines in a text for OpenAI models (o200k_base for GPT-4o+, cl100k_base for GPT-4) to help size prompts and estimate LLM costs.

How this service works
Count the tokens of a text for OpenAI models (o200k_base for GPT-4o and later, cl100k_base for GPT-4), with characters, words and lines, to size prompts and estimate cost.
Output
A JSON object with token counts for each requested encoding (e.g. {"o200k_base": 9, "cl100k_base": 9}), plus top-level word count and character count for the input text.
Example use cases
Prompt budget check before LLM call
“Before I send this system prompt to GPT-4o, tell me how many tokens it uses with o200k_base encoding so I can see if it fits in the context window: 'You are an expert legal analyst. Review the contract and identify any clauses that may expose the company to liability...'”
Cost estimation for batch processing
“I have this paragraph I'm going to send to GPT-4 thousands of times — can you count its tokens using cl100k_base so I can estimate my OpenAI bill? The text is: 'Extract the product name, price, and availability from the following e-commerce listing.'”
Compare tokenization across model generations
“Count the tokens for both o200k_base and cl100k_base on this text so I can see how GPT-4 and GPT-4o tokenize it differently: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 日本語テキストも含めます。'”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://qcb7fnxsbd7fbhj4.68r.lambda-web.us-east-1.on.aws/v1/tokens?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need accurate OpenAI-compatible token counts (tiktoken-based) for GPT-4 or GPT-4o models, especially when you need both encodings in one call along with word and character counts. Ideal for prompt sizing, context-window validation, and cost estimation workflows before making LLM API calls.
Side effects
- Text exceeds 1 MB limit — request rejected
- Invalid encoding name supplied — validation error returned
- Empty text field — may return zero counts or an error
- Network timeout on large inputs near the size limit
- Payment not included or insufficient — HTTP 402 response
