POST

/api/v1/tools/trim-text/run

Base URL: https://happytails.ai · public API not connected

## Overview

Remove spaces from the start and end of each line.

All API requests process supplied data on the server.

## Request parameters

Send a JSON object. Unknown properties are rejected. Omitted options use the defaults below; enter numbers and booleans as JSON values, not quoted text.

`input` is a string, empty by default, up to 1,000,000 characters. Change the input or settings to update your result. Results update as you type. Up to 1,000,000 characters.

This endpoint does not accept a `files` array.

### Options

No options are needed. Omit `options` or send an empty object.

## Success response

HTTP 200 returns `tool` and `result`. Text is in `result.text`; parsed JSON may also appear in `result.data`. Generated files are in `result.files` with `name`, `mime`, `bytes` and `base64`. Decode the bytes before saving. Empty file arrays and null text are valid for operations returning another result type.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `request_bytes` | 8388608 |
| `input_characters` | 1000000 |
| `files_bytes` | 5242880 |
| `max_files` | 0 |
| `timeout_seconds` | 12 |

Invalid requests return an `error` object with `code` and `message`. Read [HTTP statuses, retries, timeouts and concurrency](https://happytails.ai/en/api/#limits). Execution is synchronous and results are returned in the response.
