# The Token Company

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/the-token-company/  
**Website:** https://thetokencompany.com/docs  
**APIs profiled:** 2

The Token Company builds LLM input-compression middleware. A single API call runs a prompt, a full chat conversation, or web-search results through their bear compression models (bear-2 latest, plus bear-1.2/1.1/1) to strip low-signal tokens before the text reaches a language model, cutting cost and latency while preserving output quality. It ships drop-in Python and Node.js SDKs that wrap the OpenAI, Anthropic, Vercel AI SDK, and OpenRouter clients so existing apps compress automatically, plus content-protection (ttc_safe) tags, per-app usage tagging, and a zero-data-retention policy. A Y Combinator (W26) company based in San Francisco.
