## 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 json-minify-api-8156de58 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you minify this JSON for me so it's compact with no extra whitespace: '{"name": "Alice", "age": 30, "active": true}'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, deterministic, paid microservice to minify JSON strings programmatically within an automated agent workflow. It is suitable when you want a reliable utility that accepts raw JSON text and returns a minified version without requiring you to run local code or depend on a library.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid JSON input returns an error — the text must be valid JSON
- Empty text field may return an error or empty result
- Malformed request body (missing 'text' property) results in a bad request response
- Very large JSON strings may hit payload size limits

## How this service works

Decision-grade security/due-diligence outcome reports ($20-$100) plus deterministic paid utilities ($0.001+) for software agents and automated workflows.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'minified' field containing the input JSON string stripped of all unnecessary whitespace, newlines, and indentation, rendered as a compact single-line JSON string.
