Find and replace

Plain or regular-expression replacement across a whole document, with a preview of how many matches were found.

Replace text with a pattern now No key, no code — 1 credit either way.

curl -X POST "$DOATHING_API/v1/core/find-replace" \
  -H "x-api-key: $DOATHING_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "John Smith", "find": "(\\w+) (\\w+)", "replace": "\\2, \\1", "options": {"regex": true}}'

Plain or regular-expression replacement across a whole document, with a preview of how many matches were found.

Literal or regular-expression find-and-replace with match counting and a bounded-time engine.

Input

Send either a text string or a file object. A file is decoded as UTF-8 and must be one of text/plain, text/markdown, text/html, text/csv.

Response

The result carries your remaining balance alongside it, so you can track spend without a second call.

{
  "text": "Smith, John",
  "replacements": 1,
  "request_id": "37f01edb-0163-42a1-ac51-0acaef979800",
  "credits_remaining": 96
}

Cost

1 credit per call, whether it is run from the site or from the API — the credential differs, the price does not. A new account starts with 20 credits.

A rejected request still costs a credit: the authorizer decrements before the tool validates. A call rejected for a missing or invalid key is free.

Parameters

Generated from the endpoint’s own validation, so this is exactly what it accepts. A body field goes at the top level; an option goes inside options.
