How this service works
Extract tables as structured JSON (rows, header, records keyed by column) from a public PDF (multi-column / ruled tables, up to 30 pages, 10 MB) or an HTML page (colspan/rowspan expanded). robots.txt respected; nothing stored. No OCR.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'kind' field ('pdf' or 'html'), and a 'tables' array. Each table includes the page number (for PDFs), an array of column headers, row and column counts, and a 'records' array where each record is a dictionary keyed by column header with the corresponding cell values. Colspan/rowspan in HTML tables are expanded into discrete cells.
Example use cases
Extract financial tables from SEC filing
“Pull out all the tables from this SEC 10-K filing PDF — https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/12345/report.pdf — I need the data as structured JSON with column headers so I can analyze the revenue breakdown.”
Parse product comparison table from website
“There's a comparison table on this page https://example.com/products/compare that uses merged cells — can you extract it as JSON with proper rows and headers?”
Scrape data table from research paper PDF
“I have a research paper PDF at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.00001.pdf and I only need the tables on pages 3 and 4 — can you extract them as JSON records keyed by column name?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.ishob.com/v1/pdf-tables?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable JSON from tables embedded in public PDFs or HTML pages, especially when tables have complex structures like multi-column layouts, ruled lines, or merged cells (colspan/rowspan). It is ideal for programmatic data extraction workflows where you need column-keyed records ready for analysis, without needing OCR (text-based PDFs only). Prefer it over general web-scraping tools when the target is specifically tabular data and you want clean header/record decomposition rather than raw HTML or markdown.
Side effects
- PDF exceeds 10 MB or 30 pages — request rejected
- URL is not publicly accessible or robots.txt disallows crawling — error returned
- PDF uses scanned images requiring OCR — not supported, no text extracted
- Malformed or password-protected PDF — parsing fails
- HTML page has no detectable table structure — empty tables array returned
- Invalid or unreachable URL — HTTP error propagated
- Page range string is malformed (e.g. non-numeric characters) — validation error
