URL encode API: percent-encode text for query strings and URLs

$0.01 per call · failed calls are never charged · no account or subscription: pay per call with a card key or USDC

Percent-encode text for use in a URL query value (encodeURIComponent) and as a full URL (encodeURI). Use when building query strings.

When to use it

Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://tools.funwords.eu/url/encode?text=a%20b%26c%3Dd%2F%C3%A9"

Or one of your 25 free calls, no key:

curl "https://tools.funwords.eu/url/encode?text=a%20b%26c%3Dd%2F%C3%A9&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.

Example result

{
  "component": "a%20b%26c%3Dd%2F%C3%A9",
  "uri": "a%20b&c=d/%C3%A9"
}

From an AI agent (MCP)

Add the MCP server to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. This tool is url_encode, and the first 25 successful calls are free:

Questions

Which form should I use?

component for a query value, uri for a whole URL; both are returned.

How do I pay?

Each successful call costs $0.01; failed calls are not charged. The first 25 calls are free. Then pay with card credits (from $1; the key goes in an Authorization header or, for clients that can only fetch a URL, as api_key= in the URL) or per call in USDC over x402 or MPP. No account is needed.
