How this service works
Payment-gated AI and browser automation API using the x402 protocol. All /v1/* endpoints require USDC payment on Base (eip155:8453) via x402 v2 exact scheme.
Output
Returns a compressed version of the submitted text, reduced in length while preserving semantic meaning, suitable for downstream AI processing, storage, or display.
Example use cases
Reduce LLM prompt token costs
“I have a very long system prompt I keep sending to GPT-4 and it's eating up my token budget. Can you compress it with AI so it says the same thing in fewer words? Here's the text: 'You are a helpful assistant specialized in customer support for SaaS products. Always be polite, concise, and refer users to documentation when appropriate...'”
Condense research article for embedding
“Before I embed this research abstract into my vector database, can you compress it down so it's more concise and token-efficient? The text is: 'This study examines the long-term effects of remote work on employee productivity, mental health, and organizational culture across five industry sectors...'”
Shorten chatbot knowledge base entries
“I have a bunch of FAQ entries that are way too verbose for my chatbot's context window. Can you compress this one using the Tanship AI compress API: 'To reset your password, navigate to the login page and click the Forgot Password link. You will receive an email with a secure link valid for 24 hours...'”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.tanship.dev/v1/ai/compressWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, low-cost AI-powered text compression ($0.005/call) paid via USDC on Base with no API key required — ideal for AI agents operating in autonomous, crypto-native payment flows using the x402 protocol. Prefer it over manual summarization prompts when you want a dedicated compression primitive with predictable cost per call.
Side effects
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC — returns HTTP 402 with x402 payment required details
- Invalid body format or missing required fields — returns 400 with schema validation error
- Body type mismatch between declared bodyType and actual content — processing error
- Empty or null input body — likely returns 400 or empty compression result
- Network timeout for very large text payloads
- x402 facilitator unavailability causing payment verification failure
