.txt

.txt (dottxt) is the structured-generation company behind the open-source Outlines library (65M+ downloads). Its hosted platform, the dottxt API at api.dottxt.ai, is an OpenAI-compatible pay-per-token API whose defining contract is schema enforcement: a JSON Schema passed in response_format is compiled and enforced by constrained decoding, so model outputs are guaranteed valid — including field-by-field RFC 6902 JSON Patch streaming, Open Responses support, embeddings, and JSONL batch processing. Founded by the Outlines maintainers and backed by Seedcamp; inference is operated with launch partner Doubleword.

.txt publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including batches API, chat API, embeddings API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, LLM, Structured Outputs, and JSON Schema.

.txt’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, engineering blog, support, CLI, and 18 more developer resources.

  description: 'Process large volumes of requests asynchronously.


    Batch processing is ideal when you:

    - Have many requests that don''t need immediate responses

    - Want to process data in bulk (e.g., embeddings for a document corpus)

    - Are running offline evaluations or data pipelines


    Choose your completion window: 1 hour or 24 hours. You can track progress, cancel in-flight batches, and retry failed
    requests.
