How this service works
$0.002/page. Pull text and structure out of a PDF — clean input for LLMs and search. 1¢ x402 min; remainder auto-credits — relaystation.ai/penny
Output
Returns extracted text content and structural information from the PDF, cleaned and formatted for direct use as LLM input or search indexing — billed at $0.002 per page with a $0.01 minimum via x402.
Example use cases
RAG pipeline document ingestion
“I have a PDF research paper at this URL — can you extract all the text from it so I can chunk it and index it for my RAG pipeline?”
Searchable contract archive
“Pull the text out of this contract PDF so I can store it in my search index and make it queryable later.”
LLM summarization pre-processing
“Before I summarize this 20-page PDF report with my LLM, extract the clean text from it so the model isn't dealing with raw PDF encoding issues.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.relaystation.ai/v1/pdf/extract-textWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a native (text-layer) PDF and need clean, LLM-ready text extracted cheaply at $0.002/page. Prefer this over the OCR-based sibling endpoint for digital PDFs that already contain a text layer, since it is faster and cheaper. Choose the OCR pipeline endpoint instead for scanned single-page documents. Ideal for RAG ingestion, search indexing, or any workflow that needs machine-readable text from PDFs.
Side effects
- PDF is password-protected or encrypted — extraction fails or returns partial content
- PDF contains only scanned images without text layer — returns empty or minimal text (use OCR endpoint instead)
- Invalid or inaccessible PDF URL — returns error indicating the file could not be fetched
- Malformed PDF file — parsing error returned
- Insufficient x402 payment credits — request rejected with payment required error
