How this service works
Purchase: PDF Text Extractor

Example use cases
Example prompt
“Extract all the text from this PDF file for me — submit it to the402.ai PDF Text Extractor service and give me the job ID so I can check the results.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.the402.ai/v1/services/svc_1a44d9f6e8144aa3/purchaseWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract raw text from PDF documents and are operating in an x402 micropayment-enabled environment. Prefer this over general-purpose OCR or document APIs when you need a pay-per-use model at $0.021/call with no subscription required. Best for agents that need to process PDFs on demand without pre-negotiated API keys.
Side effects
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — returns payment error
- Invalid or malformed PDF input — returns error status
- Service unavailable — job may not be created
- Missing required parameters — returns 4xx validation error
- PDF too large or unsupported format — job created but may fail during processing
