How this service works
Extract text from a PDF URL, page by page. Text of a PDF (up to 25 MB, first 50 pages) page by page, with document metadata and a hint when the PDF is a scan.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'pages' array (each entry has 'page' number and 'text' string) and a 'page_count' integer reflecting the total number of pages extracted. Only pages within the requested max_pages limit are returned.
Example use cases
Research paper ingestion pipeline
“Grab the full text of this academic paper PDF at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.12345 so I can summarize and analyze its findings.”
Contract review text extraction
“Extract all the text from the contract PDF at https://legal.example.com/contract.pdf — I need the raw text from every page so I can review the terms.”
Invoice data retrieval
“Read the text out of this invoice PDF at https://billing.acme.com/invoice-1042.pdf — just the first 5 pages — so I can pull out the line items.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://sift.srv1996466.hstgr.cloud/v1/pdf?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a direct URL to a PDF file and need its text content structured page-by-page. It is preferable to generic web-fetch endpoints when the target is specifically a PDF, as it handles PDF parsing natively and returns per-page structured output. The pay-per-call USDC model means you only pay $0.004 on success, making it cost-effective for occasional or on-demand PDF reading without a subscription.
Side effects
- URL is not a valid or accessible PDF — returns error
- PDF is password-protected or encrypted — text extraction fails
- PDF exceeds max_pages cap (50) — only up to the limit is returned
- Network timeout fetching the remote PDF — call fails and no charge is made
- PDF contains only scanned images with no embedded text — returns empty page text
