How this service works
Extract text from any PDF or DOCX for $0.005 USDC. No API key, no subscription. Pay per use via x402 on Base, Arc, or Polygon.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the full extracted plain text (up to 50,000 characters), the character count, total page count (for PDFs), the detected format (pdf, docx, or text), and optional metadata fields including the document title, author, and an ISO 8601 timestamp of when extraction occurred.
Example use cases
AI agent reading a research paper
“Pull the full text out of this research paper so I can summarize it — the PDF is at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.12345.pdf”
Contract review from document URL
“Extract the text from this contract PDF at https://company.com/contracts/vendor-agreement.pdf so I can check what the termination clause says.”
Processing a Word document report
“Can you read the contents of this DOCX file for me? It's at https://internal.example.com/reports/q3-summary.docx — I need the text so I can analyze it.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://www.extractpdf.xyz/api/extract?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to read the text content of a PDF or DOCX document available at a public URL, without requiring API key setup or subscription management. It is ideal for pay-per-use workflows where document parsing is occasional rather than high-volume, and when the agent needs structured metadata (title, author, page count) alongside the extracted text. Prefer this over general-purpose scraping tools when the input is specifically a PDF or DOCX file rather than an HTML web page.
Side effects
- URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 HTTP response — extraction fails with an error
- Document is password-protected or encrypted — text cannot be extracted
- File is not a PDF or DOCX (e.g. image-only scanned PDF with no embedded text layer) — returns empty or minimal text
- Page range is out of bounds for the document — may return partial or empty text
- Document exceeds size limits — extraction may truncate or fail
- Network timeout fetching the remote document URL
