How this service works
Free need-to-tool routing plus pay-per-call npm docs and TypeScript API signatures, npm breaking-change diffs, JavaScript-rendered browser snapshots and deterministic coding-agent checks via AgentCash/x402.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a `data` field containing the normalized `url` string and extracted `hostname`, plus a `meta` field indicating the engine used (`url-normalize`). The normalized URL is in canonical form with resolved paths, normalized casing, and proper formatting.
Example use cases
Deduplicating scraped URLs
“I've got a list of URLs from a scraper and many of them look like duplicates with different casing or trailing slashes — can you normalize 'https://Example.COM/page/' so I can compare them consistently?”
Extracting hostname for routing
“Before I route this webhook request, I need the hostname from 'https://api.myservice.io/v2/events?token=abc123' — can you normalize it and pull out the hostname?”
Sanitizing user-submitted links
“A user just submitted 'HTTP://WWW.Example.com/some/../path' as their website URL — can you normalize it into a clean canonical URL before I save it to the database?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-canary.nicolas-x402-16f380a7.workers.dev/v1/url/normalizeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, canonical URL normalization as part of a coding agent or data pipeline workflow, especially when already using the x402-canary Coding Agent Context APIs suite. It is particularly suited for agents that need to deduplicate URLs, extract hostnames programmatically, or sanitize user-submitted links before storage or comparison. Prefer it over rolling your own normalization when you want a consistent, pay-per-call microservice with a stable response schema.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed input URL may result in an error or unexpected normalization output
- Empty or missing `url` field in the request body returns a validation error
- Non-URL strings passed as the URL field may cause parsing failures
- Network timeout if the worker is cold-starting
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the call
