Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://clink-lithium-vault.fly.dev/pdf/textWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to quickly extract plain text from a publicly accessible PDF URL without setting up any authentication or accounts. It is ideal for processing SEC filings, research papers, reports, invoices, and manuals that are available via a direct HTTP link. Prefer this over general-purpose document parsers when you want a zero-setup, pay-per-call solution with a clear scanned-document indicator. Not suitable for scanned/image PDFs (no OCR) or private/auth-gated documents.
Side effects
- PDF URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 response
- PDF exceeds 25MB size limit
- Extracted text exceeds 500,000 character limit
- PDF is scanned/image-based — no OCR available, likely_scanned flag is set true and text may be empty
- URL does not point to a valid PDF file
- Network timeout fetching the remote PDF
- Malformed or password-protected PDF
