x402
AgentWork PDF Info is a paid API for AI agents from api.agentwork.run, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).
Returns metadata about a PDF at a given URL — page count, version, encryption status, font presence, and text extractability — without downloading or parsing the full file.

How this service works
Web read / URL to markdown (batch, JavaScript rendering), PDF text extraction, website change monitoring, prompt-injection check and sanctions screening for agents. From $0.001 per call on Base. x402 USDC, no API key.
Output
Returns a JSON object with: ok (boolean), bytes (file size), is_pdf (boolean), encrypted (boolean), has_fonts (boolean), page_count (integer), pdf_version (string), likely_has_text (boolean), pdf_read_eligible (boolean), and reasons (array of strings explaining any flags). Allows agents to gate downstream PDF processing decisions without fetching the full document.
Example use cases
Pre-flight PDF eligibility check
“I have this URL — https://docs.example.com/annual-report-2024.pdf — can you confirm it's actually a PDF, tell me how many pages it has, and whether the text can be extracted from it before I send it to the parser?”
Detect encrypted or locked PDFs
“Check this PDF link — https://contracts.acme.com/nda-v3.pdf — and let me know if it's encrypted or password-protected so I know whether we can read it programmatically.”
Validate PDF batch before extraction pipeline
“I'm about to run 50 PDFs through our extraction pipeline — can you probe this one first, https://filings.sec.gov/document/0001234.pdf, to make sure it's a real PDF with fonts and readable text before we queue the rest?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.agentwork.run/v1/pdf/info?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to validate or triage a PDF URL before committing to a heavier extraction operation. It is ideal as a pre-flight check in document processing pipelines to filter out encrypted, non-PDF, or text-free documents cheaply at $0.001 per call. Prefer this over directly calling a full PDF-to-text extractor when you are unsure of the document's validity, page count, or text content. Does not require an API key — uses x402 USDC micropayment on Base.
Side effects
- URL is not reachable or returns a non-2xx status — ok: false with reasons array populated
- URL points to a non-PDF file — is_pdf: false
- PDF is encrypted — encrypted: true, pdf_read_eligible likely false
- Network timeout fetching PDF headers — error response with timeout indication
- Malformed or non-URI URL input — validation error before payment is settled
