How this service works
Compress text: strip filler, collapse JSON, densify prose. Cuts upstream LLM token spend ~40%.
Output
Returns compressed text with filler stripped, JSON collapsed, and prose densified. Expected to reduce token count by approximately 40% compared to the original input, preserving semantic content.
Example use cases
Shrink large prompt before LLM call
“Before you send this 3,000-word research summary to GPT-4, run it through the text minifier with aggressive mode on to strip filler and cut token costs as much as possible.”
Collapse verbose API response JSON
“This JSON response from the database API is huge — can you compress it using gate402's minifier with format set to JSON and aggressive mode enabled before we pass it downstream?”
Densify markdown documentation chunk
“I need to embed this markdown documentation page but it's way too long — minify it with format markdown so I can fit more context into my vector store without losing the key information.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://gate402.app/v1/minifyWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to reduce LLM input token costs before forwarding text, JSON, or markdown to a large language model. Particularly useful in agentic pipelines where large documents, API responses, or accumulated context must fit within token limits or minimize per-call costs. Prefer this over manual truncation when semantic preservation matters.
Side effects
- Empty or missing text field returns validation error
- Extremely short text may see negligible compression
- Aggressive mode on structured data may strip meaningful whitespace or field names
- Malformed JSON passed with format=json may cause parsing errors
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
