Prompt Formatter

Clean up messy prompts via a plain REST endpoint.

POST /api/v1/format-prompt reorganizes a messy, unstructured prompt into clean semantic sections — a system role, the task, constraints, and the expected output format — without adding or dropping any of your actual instructions.

Request

bash

curl -X POST https://cuelara.com/api/v1/format-prompt \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" \
  -d '{
    "text": "write a blog post about coffee, friendly tone, under 500 words, no emojis",
    "format": "Markdown (Standard)",
    "indent": "2 Spaces"
  }'

The Authorization header is optional — omit it to call anonymously (lower rate limit). Get a token from /dashboard/mcp.

Body

text (string, required, up to 20,000 characters) — the prompt to reorganize.
format (string, optional) — "Markdown (Standard)" (default), "XML (Claude-Optimized)", or "JSON (API Ready)".
indent (string, optional) — "2 Spaces" (default), "4 Spaces", or "Tabs". Only applies to the JSON format.

Response

json

{ "formatted": "### System Role\nYou are a friendly blog writer...\n\n### Task\n..." }

Errors

400 invalid body, 401 invalid token, 429 rate limit, 502/503/504 upstream AI failure — each returns { "error": "..." }.

Limits

Anonymous calls share the same free daily limit as the website's Prompt Formatter, keyed by IP. Signed-in calls use your own account's plan limits instead. See the API overview for auth and CORS details.
