Line tools

The things you would reach for a shell pipeline to do, on a block of text you already have.

curl -X POST "$DOATHING_API/v1/core/line-tools" \
  -H "x-api-key: $DOATHING_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "b\na\nb\nc", "options": {"operation": "dedupe"}}'

The things you would reach for a shell pipeline to do, on a block of text you already have.

Sort, deduplicate, number, reverse, shuffle, trim or filter lines in a text block.

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": "b\na\nc",
  "lines": 3,
  "operation": "dedupe",
  "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.
