Text cleaner

Strip out HTML tags, fix mismatched characters, and collapse runaway spacing — the three things that make copied text unusable.

Clean up messy text now No key, no code — 1 credit either way.

curl -X POST "$DOATHING_API/v1/text-cleaner" \
  -H "x-api-key: $DOATHING_KEY" \

  -d '{"text": "<p>Hello   <b>world</b></p>", "options": {"strip_html": true, "dedupe_whitespace": true}}'

Strip out HTML tags, fix mismatched characters, and collapse runaway spacing — the three things that make copied text unusable.

Clean and normalize text — strip HTML, normalize unicode, dedupe whitespace.

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.

  "cleaned": "Hello world",

}

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.

normalize_unicode	options	boolean	true	Apply NFKC normalisation so visually identical characters compare equal.
