Minify and mangle JavaScript with one POST.

Two endpoints, one key, no options. /minify returns smaller code, /mangle returns code that is hard to read. Works from any language that can send HTTPS.

$ curl -X POST https://obix.dev/v1/minify \
    -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"code":"function pay(user, amount) { ... }"}'{
  "ok": 1,
  "code": "function pay(user,amount){let token=user.secret+\":\"+amount;return sign(token,\"kdf9x2\")}",

The same function, three ways

Route Code

you send

Route	Code
you send	`function pay(user, amount) { let token = user.secret + ":" + amount; return sign(token, "kdf9x2"); }`	108bytes
`/minify`	`function pay(user,amount){let token=user.secret+":"+amount;return sign(token,"kdf9x2")}`	87bytes
`/mangle`	`var _0x3a=['c2VjcmV0','a2RmOXgy'];function _0x1f(a,b){var t=a[_0x3a[0]]+':'+b;return sign(t,atob(_0x3a[1]));}`	109bytes

function pay(user, amount) {
    let token = user.secret + ":" + amount;
    return sign(token, "kdf9x2");
}

108bytes

/minify

function pay(user,amount){let token=user.secret+":"+amount;return sign(token,"kdf9x2")}

87bytes

/mangle

var _0x3a=['c2VjcmV0','a2RmOXgy'];function _0x1f(a,b){var t=a[_0x3a[0]]+':'+b;return sign(t,atob(_0x3a[1]));}

109bytes

/minify removes whitespace, shortens names and drops dead code. /mangle renames, encodes strings and flattens control flow; the output is larger and slow to reverse.

What you need to know

Auth: One header, X-Api-Key. The same key works on both endpoints.
Request: JSON body with one field, code. There is no options object.
Response: JSON with the result in code, plus bytes in, bytes out and milliseconds. Errors return ok:0 and err.
Limits: Payload cap is 10 MB. Current limits are on the limits page.
From anywhere: cURL, PHP, Node.js, the browser, a CI step. Copy an example.
Parse errors: Invalid JavaScript returns 422 with the position of the error.
