Flask integration

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from supercompress import Compressor

app = Flask(__name__)
comp = Compressor()

@app.route("/api/compress", methods=["POST"])
def compress():
    data = request.json
    result = comp.compress(data["context"], data["query"])
    return jsonify({
        "compressed_text": result.compressed_text,
        "original_tokens": result.original_tokens,
        "kept_tokens": result.kept_tokens
    })

Frequently asked questions

Can I use blueprints with compression?

Yes. Apply compression middleware to specific blueprints.

Does it work with Flask-SocketIO?

Yes. Compress messages before emitting them through the socket.

Build with less context

Put compression in front of your next LLM call.

Use the hosted API or run SuperCompress locally. Keep the evidence, drop the token waste, and measure the savings before it reaches your model.
