How this service works
146 pay-per-call tools for AI agents, from $0.001 per request in USDC on Base or Solana with x402. No account, no API key.
Output
A JSON object containing the full extracted text of the PDF, the number of pages, the document title (if available), the author name, and a boolean indicating whether the text was truncated due to length limits.
Example use cases
Research paper content extraction
“I need you to read this academic PDF and tell me what it's about — here's the link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.00123.pdf”
Contract text retrieval for analysis
“Grab all the text from this contract PDF so I can check if it includes an indemnification clause: https://docs.example.com/contract-draft.pdf”
Invoice data extraction
“Can you extract the text from this invoice PDF so I can pull out the total amount and vendor name? The URL is https://invoices.acme.com/inv-00456.pdf”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fastx402.tools/pdftext?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to extract machine-readable text from a PDF available at a public URL without setting up an account or API key. It is ideal for one-off or low-volume PDF parsing tasks where paying micro-amounts per call ($0.002 USDC) is preferable to maintaining a subscription. It works well for structured documents with embedded text layers; for scanned image PDFs you would need an OCR-capable service instead.
Side effects
- URL is not reachable or returns a non-200 status — fetch fails with an error
- URL points to a non-PDF file — parsing fails or returns empty/garbled text
- PDF is encrypted or password-protected — text extraction returns nothing
- PDF is image-only (scanned) with no embedded text layer — returns empty text
- URL is malformed or not an absolute http/https URL — request rejected due to schema validation
- Very large PDF may result in truncated output (truncated: true in response)
