How this service works
Test whether a RE2 pattern matches anywhere in the input. Returns { matched }. RE2 guarantees linear-time evaluation, so this is safe against catastrophic backtracking. An invalid pattern is a clean 400; no match is a successful 200.
Output
A JSON object with a single boolean field `matched` — true if the RE2 pattern was found anywhere in the subject text, false if no match was found. An invalid RE2 pattern returns a 400 error with a description of the parse failure.
Example use cases
Email format validation in pipeline
“Test whether the string 'user.name+tag@example.co.uk' contains a match for the RE2 pattern `[a-zA-Z0-9._%+\-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}` — I need to know if it looks like a valid email address.”
Log line keyword detection
“I have a server log line: 'ERROR 2024-07-15T10:23:01Z upstream connection refused on port 8080'. Check if the pattern `(?i)error|exception|fatal` matches anywhere in it so I can flag it for alerting.”
Multiline pattern check in document
“I've got a multi-line config file block and I want to know if any line starts with 'server_name'. Use the RE2 pattern `^server_name` with multiline mode enabled and test it against my text.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://regex.openverbs.com/v1/testWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a safe, guaranteed linear-time regex match test — especially when the pattern or input is untrusted or large, making catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS) a concern. Prefer it over PCRE-based alternatives when you only need a yes/no match result and want RE2 semantics. It is ideal for validation steps in automated pipelines where a simple boolean answer is sufficient.
Side effects
- Invalid RE2 pattern syntax returns HTTP 400 with a descriptive error message
- Input text exceeding 1,000,000 characters will be rejected
- Pattern exceeding 4,096 characters will be rejected
- Unsupported regex flags (only i, m, s are valid) may cause a 400
- Payment required (402) if x402 micropayment header is missing or invalid
