# Data Toolkit – JSON Document Merge

> Data Toolkit – JSON Document Merge is a paid API for AI agents from data.openverbs.com, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Deep-merges two or more JSON documents into one, with later documents overriding earlier ones

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability data-toolkit-json-document-merge-0da91384 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Merge these two JSON configs where the second one takes priority over the first: {"theme": "light", "fontSize": 14, "lang": "en"} and {"theme": "dark", "notifications": true}

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a reliable, hosted deep-merge of JSON documents with clear precedence ordering and don't want to implement custom merge logic yourself. It is especially useful for layered configuration management (defaults → environment → user overrides) or combining partial API responses. Prefer it over custom in-code merge when working in an agent pipeline where an external stateless call is safer than executing arbitrary merge code.

## Known failure modes

- Fewer than 2 documents provided — API requires minItems: 2 in the documents array
- Invalid or non-JSON values passed as documents — items must be valid JSON values
- Malformed request body — bodyType must be 'json', 'form-data', or 'text'
- Network or payment failure (x402 protocol) — insufficient USDC balance or payment not accepted

## How this service works

Deep-merge an ordered list of JSON documents, left to right. Objects are merged key-by-key; arrays, scalars and null in a later document replace the earlier value (last-wins, no array concatenation).

## Output

A single merged JSON document combining all input documents, where later documents in the array override earlier ones for any conflicting keys (last-write-wins semantics for deep merge)
