Empty Array

Generates a consistently formatted empty array `[]` for template initialization, data structure setup, or resetting variables. Access via MCP in Cursor/Claude or REST at `/v1/misc/empty-array`. Perfect for AI agents building JSON responses or initializing collections without hardcoding syntax.

API Endpoint

GET /v1/misc/empty-array

Code Examples

curl "https://tinyfn.io/v1/misc/empty-array" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
const response = await fetch('https://tinyfn.io/v1/misc/empty-array', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
import requests

response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/misc/empty-array',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)

FAQ

When would I need an empty array endpoint instead of just typing []?

Useful for template systems, API responses that need consistent formatting, or when AI agents need a reliable empty array structure without risking syntax errors.

What format does the empty array endpoint return?

Returns a standard JSON array: `[]`. Always consistent formatting regardless of client implementation.

How do I use empty array with MCP in Cursor or Claude?

Call the empty-array tool directly through MCP. Useful when building data structures programmatically or initializing collections in generated code.

Does the empty array tool accept any parameters?

No parameters needed. Simple GET request returns `[]` every time. Designed for maximum simplicity and reliability.

Can I use this for initializing nested data structures?

Yes, combine with other TinyFn tools to build complex JSON structures. The empty array provides a clean foundation for nested objects or arrays.
