Is it free?
A new account gets $10 of credit, no card. A file costs one page read, at $0.80 per 1,000, however many pages it has. A file that gives no text is not charged.
Can I upload a file from my computer?
No. The Extract API reads a file at an http or https URL. Put the file at a public URL first.
Which files does it read?
PDF, Word and Excel files, and web pages.
Can I convert many PDFs from my code?
Yes. One call to the Extract API takes up to 20 URLs. See the PDF to Markdown API page and the docs.
Run the same read from your code
The playground shows the code of the call. Get an API key and the same call runs from your own program.
