The world’s simplest Utility API for no-code automations.
Designed for Zapier, Make, n8n, Bubble, Airtable Scripts, and Retool. No SDKs. No setup. Just send data → get a clean result.
curl -X POST https://api.postthatgetthis.com/v1/json/fix \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
--data-binary '```json
{ "name": "Ava", "score": 42, }
```'{
"status": "ok",
"data": {
"name": "Ava",
"score": 42
},
"error": null
}Automation tools are powerful — but their formatters are notWe are frustrated just like you.
We built Post That Get This after wrestling with brittle formatter steps, AI responses that break JSON parsers, and endless “why is this webhook failing?” debugging. Instead of duct-taping regex and code steps, we ship a purpose-built utility API that fixes the data before it hits your stack.
“Zapier formatter keeps choking on trailing commas from GPT; I just need valid JSON without adding a code step.”
“AI output looks like JSON but always fails the parser. I’ve spent hours stripping quotes and commas just to get one zap working.”
“Formatter modules don’t spot nested arrays, so my scenario breaks whenever the webhook payload changes shape.”
“Need CSV from JSON for imports, but the automation tools mangle encodings and headers—spreadsheets end up blank.”
“Webhook payload has single quotes and template tokens; Bubble rejects it and I don’t want to write a plugin just to clean strings.”
“Expressions work until AI slips in smart quotes—now the whole workflow fails and I have to debug line by line.”
“LLMs don’t respect JSON; they invent comments, trailing commas, and emoji keys. I just need a pre-processor that fixes it fast.”
“Converting API responses to CSV inside Zapier is brittle. One missing field and the whole file shifts columns.”
“AI sucks at JSON when it’s tired—give me a one-liner that guarantees valid output before my automation touches it.”
Why automation builders love Post That Get This
Everything is optimized for fast, copy-paste automation building.
- • Stateless endpoints with predictable responses.
- • Opinionated defaults that just work in Zapier and Make.
- • Latency tuned for flow steps, not dashboards.
- • Curl-first docs and ready-to-send payloads.
- • Works with native HTTP blocks in n8n, Make, and Retool.
- • Zero SDK installs or auth ceremony beyond a bearer token.
- • Drop-in step that cleans data between any two tools.
- • Idempotent verbs you can retry without surprises.
- • Too useful to rip out once it’s shipping value.
Smart hints when JSON is messy
If we spot template tokens, trailing commas, or single quotes, we tell you exactly what to fix. No more guessing why your automation step failed.
Example hint:
{
"status": "error",
"data": "{ name: {{UserName}}, active: true, }",
"error": {
"code": "invalid_json",
"message": "Unable to parse JSON data",
"hints": [
"Found template-like tokens (e.g., {{...}}). Wrap them in quotes or escape them before parsing."
]
}
}
Supported conversions out of the box
Pick a verb, POST a payload, get exactly what your workflow needs.
JSON → valid JSON
Repair “JSON-ish” strings, remove trailing commas, and output well-formed JSON.
JSON ⇄ CSV
Flip between API payloads and CSV rows for imports, exports, and audits.
Flatten nested JSON
Collapse nested keys into dot notation so every tool can read them.
PDF → text
Extract clean, copyable text from uploads for search or AI summarization.
Image ↔ base64
Encode or decode images on the fly to move them between services.

Three copy-paste API calls
No SDKs. Works anywhere that can POST.Fix malformed JSON-ish strings
Clean AI or webhook payloads and return valid JSON your tool won’t reject.
curl -X POST https://api.postthatgetthis.com/v1/json/fix \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
--data-binary '{ id: 7, tags: [demo,], }'Convert JSON to CSV rows
Turn webhook payloads into tidy CSVs for Airtable, Sheets, or exports.
curl -X POST https://api.postthatgetthis.com/v1/json/to_csv \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
-d '{ "data": [{ "name": "Ada", "score": 99 }] }'Flatten nested payloads
Flatten deeply nested JSON so downstream steps stay simple and predictable.
curl -X POST https://api.postthatgetthis.com/v1/json/flatten \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
-d '{ "data": { "user": { "name": "Kai", "plan": "pro" } } }'Try it now in your browser
Use our API playground to paste a payload, pick an endpoint, and see the response instantly. No SDKs required.
Example use cases
Real automations that get simpler with one HTTP call.
Clean up AI JSON before Airtable
Repair malformed JSON from AI responses so Airtable scripts can import safely without guardrails or custom regex fixes.
Suggested flow
Zapier Webhook → Post That Get This /fix/json → Airtable
Turn webhook payloads into import-ready CSVs
Convert nested webhook data into neat CSV rows for bulk imports to spreadsheets or CRMs without writing a script.
Suggested flow
Make Webhook → Post That Get This /convert/json-to-csv → Google Sheets
Standardize payloads between services
Flatten and remap fields so downstream steps see consistent keys even when upstream providers keep changing their schema.
Suggested flow
n8n HTTP node → Post That Get This /flatten → Retool
Extract PDF text for AI summarization
Pull reliable text from PDFs so you can pass it to your favorite LLM or search tool without a custom parser.
Suggested flow
Airtable Attachment → Post That Get This /pdf-to-text → OpenAI
