HTML minifier

Whitespace collapsed and comments dropped, without changing how the page renders.

Shrink an HTML file now No key, no code — 2 credits either way.

curl -X POST "$DOATHING_API/v1/markup/html-minify" \
  -H "x-api-key: $DOATHING_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "<p>  spaced  </p>  <!-- note -->"}'

Whitespace collapsed and comments dropped, without changing how the page renders.

Minify HTML by collapsing whitespace and removing comments, preserving pre and textarea content.

Input

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

Response

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

{
  "text": "<p>spaced",
  "bytes_in": 32,
  "bytes_out": 9,
  "saved_percent": 71.9,
  "request_id": "37f01edb-0163-42a1-ac51-0acaef979800",
  "credits_remaining": 96
}

Cost

2 credits 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.

keep_comments	options	boolean	false	Leave HTML comments in place.
