Expand a KTOF string back into the original JSON structure.

​
Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
datastr✅KTOF string previously returned by compress, optimize, or prompts_encode.
options.indentint❌Apply indentation when reconstructing JSON for readability.
options.strictbool❌Default True; set False to tolerate unknown markers (useful when debugging legacy payloads).

​
Code example

from kaizen_client import KaizenClient

async def round_trip():
    async with KaizenClient.from_env() as client:
        encoded = await client.compress({"data": {"foo": "bar"}})
        decoded = await client.decompress({"data": encoded["result"]})
        print(decoded["data"]["foo"])  # => "bar"

import asyncio
asyncio.run(round_trip())

​
Response example

{
  "operation": "decompress",
  "status": "ok",
  "data": {
    "foo": "bar"
  }
}

​
Errors

  • 400 → data is missing or not a valid KTOF payload.
  • 410 → Referenced payload expired (if you passed a payload_id instead of inline data).

​
Notes

  • decompress mirrors compress. Use prompts_decode when round-tripping prompt metadata (messages, schemas, token_stats).
  • Keep compressed payloads under your data retention policy—Kaizen does not store them beyond the TTL associated with your account tier.
