# Hermes Micro-Agent – JSON Minify

> Hermes Micro-Agent – JSON Minify is a paid API for AI agents from 92.5.95.177.sslip.io, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Minifies (compresses) JSON text by removing whitespace and formatting, delivered as a paid micro-task over HTTP 402 on Base (USDC).

## 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 hermes-micro-agent-json-minify-2f593b90 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you minify this JSON for me — strip out all the whitespace and indentation so it's compact for sending as a payload: {"name": "Alice", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use JSON minification without setting up or hosting your own tooling, and when your workflow already supports HTTP 402 / x402 micropayments on Base. It is especially useful in automated agent pipelines where JSON compaction is an occasional step alongside other micro-tasks (summarization, extraction, etc.) available on the same service.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid JSON input causes error or garbled output
- Malformed prompt field returns unhelpful response
- Payment not confirmed on Base chain results in HTTP 402 rejection without processing
- Very large JSON inputs may exceed token or size limits
- Network timeout on the raw IP/sslip.io endpoint

## How this service works

20 paid AI and data micro-tasks over HTTP 402 on Base (USDC): summarize, extract, keywords, sentiment, translate, rewrite, proofread, python_debug, code_lint, code_explain, code_refactor, code_review, json_minify, json_query, csv_to_json, hash, base64, convert, describe_image, probe_media. Each call is priced per-task and verified on-chain before execution.

## Output

A plain string containing the minified (whitespace-stripped, single-line) JSON representation of the input. No additional metadata, just the compact JSON output.
