Clean API Data

Normalize noisy API payloads into downstream-safe JSON

  • Removes API envelopes and metadata noise
  • Normalizes inconsistent values and casing
  • Masks sensitive fields before sharing downstream

Paste an API response — instantly preview a cleaned, normalized payload locally in your browser.

Why this package exists

Common problems

  • API responses frequently wrap useful business data inside envelopes (`results`, `data`, `properties`) downstream systems do not need.
  • Fields arrive with inconsistent casing, nulls, empty strings, and mixed value types that break downstream analytics or automation.
  • Sensitive fields like emails and phone numbers sit beside the operational data you actually want to forward downstream.
  • Raw API payloads often contain metadata, paging cursors, audit fields, and provider-specific noise.

When to use

Use this when you need to normalize raw API responses before analytics, AI workflows, exports, internal automation, or downstream processing.

Expected outcome

A normalized API payload containing only the fields you selected, consistently formatted values, and masked sensitive data safe for downstream analytics, exports, and AI workflows.

What the wizard asks

4 steps

Each step shows your input, the question, and a preview of the output.

  1. 1

    Which API fields should downstream systems keep?

    Reduce the API response to only the fields downstream systems actually require.

  2. 2

    Normalize inconsistent API field values?· Optional

    Standardize casing and value formatting before downstream processing.

  3. 3

    Remove null and empty values from the payload?· Optional

    Drop low-value nulls, empty strings, and unused clutter to shrink the payload.

  4. 4

    Which sensitive fields should be masked?· Optional

    Mask emails, phone numbers, and other sensitive fields before the payload is shared downstream.
