# Compresr > Compresr is an LLM context-compression API: send long context plus the query you want answered, get back a shorter context that keeps the answer-bearing spans and drops the rest. Public model: latte_v1 (query-specific). Python SDK, TypeScript SDK, or hosted HTTP API. Every page below links to its Markdown twin (`.md`), the plain-text surface an LLM or answer engine should read. The human-readable pages live at the same path without the `.md` suffix. ## Docs - [Introduction](https://compresr.net/docs/introduction.md): What Compresr is and where it fits in an LLM stack. - [Quick Start](https://compresr.net/docs/quick-start.md): Make your first compression call in minutes. - [Authentication](https://compresr.net/docs/authentication.md): API keys and how to authenticate requests. - [Python SDK](https://compresr.net/docs/sdks/python.md): Install and compress with the Python client. - [TypeScript SDK](https://compresr.net/docs/sdks/typescript.md): Install and compress with the TypeScript client. - [cURL](https://compresr.net/docs/sdks/curl.md): Call the hosted HTTP API directly with cURL. - [Models](https://compresr.net/docs/api-reference/models.md): The public models latte_v1 and latte_v2 and their parameters. - [Conventions](https://compresr.net/docs/api-reference/conventions.md): Request/response shapes and shared conventions. - [Rate Limits](https://compresr.net/docs/api-reference/rate-limits.md): Per-tier request and token limits. - [Errors](https://compresr.net/docs/api-reference/errors.md): Error codes and how to handle them. ## Product - [Changelog](https://compresr.net/changelog.md): Product and API updates over time. - [About](https://compresr.net/about.md): Compresr Inc., Y Combinator W26, four EPFL-trained founders in San Francisco, California and Europe (Switzerland). ## Compare - [vs. LLMLingua](https://compresr.net/compare/llmlingua.md): Hosted, query-aware, on-prem-ready alternative to LLMLingua research code. - [vs. Prompt Caching](https://compresr.net/compare/prompt-caching.md): Why compression and caching are complementary, not rivals. - [Prompt compression tools compared](https://compresr.net/compare/prompt-compression-tools.md): LLMLingua-2, LongLLMLingua, scaledown, Token Company, and Compresr. ## Glossary - [Glossary](https://compresr.net/glossary.md): LLM context-compression vocabulary, defined for humans and machines. ## Agents - [agents.md](https://compresr.net/agents.md): Agent skill file — curl it to install and use the Compresr SDK end to end. ## Optional - [Machine overview](https://compresr.net/machine): The structured entity card an answer engine can cite for "what is Compresr". - [Full docs corpus](https://compresr.net/llms-full.txt): Every doc concatenated as Markdown in one fetch.
