POST /api/font-info1 quota unit per call · cache hits free

Inspect a TTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2 font. Returns family, full name, weight class, glyph count, ascender/descender, license, and supported Unicode codepoints.

Parses a font file and returns its human-facing metadata: family name, full name, PostScript name, version string, license, weight class, italic flag, glyph count, plus the common metric tables (ascender, descender, units-per-em). Supported formats: TTF, OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2. WOFF and WOFF2 are detected by their magic header and decompressed transparently — no client-side step required. Set `includeCharacters: true` to also receive the full list of supported Unicode codepoints and a compact `U+XXXX-U+YYYY` range string.

Inputs

NameTypeDefaultDescription
font*fileTTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2 font.
includeCharactersbooleanfalseInclude the full set of supported Unicode code points in the result (codepoints array, characterRanges in U+ notation, characterCount).

Response

Modes: json. Cache: yes (24h TTL).

Every response carries x-cache (HIT / MISS / BYPASS), x-cache-signature (stable across identical inputs), and the rate-limit headers listed below.

Quota & limits

Cost per call1 unit against the 10,000-unit monthly quota. Cache hits are free — only cache misses decrement.
Burst limit200 requests per rolling minute, shared across all tools.
Max request size10 MiB (base64 inflates file payloads ~33% — the limit applies to the decoded bytes).
Max response size1 MiB
Timeout8s wall clock.
Rate-limit headersX-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Burst-Limit on every response; X-Quota-Warning once 80% of the monthly quota is spent; Retry-After on 429s.

Errors

Errors are JSON with an error string; schema failures add a details object (Zod's flattened field errors).

StatusWhenBody
400Input fails the tool's schema (wrong type, missing required field, malformed base64) or the file bytes can't be parsed as the expected format.{ "error": "invalid inputs", "details": { "fieldErrors": { … } } }
401Missing or invalid X-Api-Key / X-Account-Id headers (or no session when called from the browser).{ "error": "unauthorized" }
404Unknown tool id, or calling /api/* on the website hostname instead of api.xtract.bot.{ "error": "not found" }
413Request body over the tool's max request size, or an image header declaring more megapixels than the tool's pixel budget.{ "error": "…exceeds maxRequestBytes…" }
415Content-Type isn't application/json on the json-body transport.{ "error": "unsupported content-type; expected application/json" }
429Monthly quota or the 200/min burst limit exhausted. Check Retry-After and the X-RateLimit-* headers.{ "error": "monthly quota exceeded", "monthRemaining": 0, … }
5xxConversion engine failure. Safe to retry; if it persists, the input is hitting a bug — please report it.{ "error": "…" }
