# TextTools API **Text processing utilities: HTML sanitizer, text similarity, and timezone conversion** — A multi-tool API combining HTML sanitization with XSS protection, multi-algorithm text similarity scoring (Levenshtein, Jaccard, Cosine), and timezone conversion in a single endpoint. **API Base URL**: https://texttools.vanmoose.cc --- ## Best For - Developers needing server-side HTML sanitization to prevent XSS attacks - NLP and search teams comparing text similarity for deduplication or fuzzy matching - Applications displaying times across multiple timezones ## Not Ideal For - Heavy-duty NLP tasks like sentiment analysis or entity extraction (similarity only) - Full HTML-to-Markdown conversion (sanitizes HTML, does not convert formats) --- ## Quick Start ```bash curl -X POST "https://texttools.vanmoose.cc/v1/similarity" \ -H "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"textA": "The quick brown fox", "textB": "The fast brown fox"}' ``` --- ## Authentication All endpoints require RapidAPI authentication via the `X-RapidAPI-Key` header. --- ## Endpoints ### POST /v1/sanitize Sanitize HTML by removing dangerous tags, event handlers, and javascript: URLs. Optionally strip all HTML to plain text. **Request Body:** ```json { "html": "

All limits are hard — requests exceeding quota are rejected (HTTP 402), no overage billing on the VanMoose native platform. Overage rates apply on RapidAPI only. --- ## Use Case **User-Generated Content Pipeline:** A forum or CMS can use `/v1/sanitize` to clean user-submitted HTML before storing it, stripping script tags and event handlers to prevent XSS attacks. Before publishing, `/v1/similarity` can check new posts against existing content to flag near-duplicates, and `/v1/timezone/convert` displays timestamps in each reader's local timezone. --- ## Support Part of the VanMoose API platform — 70+ APIs, one subscription.
