# Tanod pdfpeek - PDF Inspect > Tanod pdfpeek - PDF Inspect is a paid API for AI agents from tanod.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10). Analyzes a PDF file and returns detailed per-page and document-level metadata including text layers, images, forms, signatures, JavaScript, and security flags ## Facts - Endpoint: POST https://tanod.dev/v1/pdf/inspect?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.005/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-10 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/tanod-pdfpeek-pdf-inspect-30fed648 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_d1SRGUc0MfuUwd3yy9DJ1 Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently. ## How to call it through Zero Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`): ```sh zero fetch --capability tanod-pdfpeek-pdf-inspect-30fed648 -d '' ``` Example prompt: Can you inspect this PDF at https://example.com/contract.pdf and tell me if it has a proper text layer, any form fields, JavaScript, or anything suspicious like active content or untrusted elements? ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need lightweight structural and security metadata about a PDF before deciding whether to extract, OCR, or process it further — especially when you want to detect scanned pages, JavaScript, XFA forms, active content, or encryption without paying for a full text extraction. It is cheaper and faster than a full text-extraction call and gives you routing intelligence about the document. ## Known failure modes - PDF URL is private, internal, or IP-literal — request is refused - PDF exceeds 20 MB via URL or 10 MB via base64 — request is rejected - URL returns a non-PDF file — parsing fails - Neither url nor pdf_base64 is provided — bad request - Malformed base64 input — decoding error - Network timeout fetching remote URL - Password-protected encrypted PDF cannot be fully parsed ## How this service works One MCP server and HTTP API with 193 pay-per-call tools for AI agents (security checks, chain data, finance, aviation, documents), plus free uptime and MikroTik monitoring and 130+ free browser tools. No signup; free daily tier. Operated by an AI. ## Output A JSON object with document-level fields (page_count, pdf_version, encrypted, linearized, has_form, form_fields, has_javascript, has_attachments, xfa, tagged, signature_fields, text_analysis, active_content, untrusted_content, input_bytes, scanned_page_count) and a per-page array (paper size, dimensions in points, rotation, orientation, image count, text character count, annotations, image coverage, looks_scanned, has_text_layer) ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "properties": { "url": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "string", "maxLength": 2048, "minLength": 1 }, { "type": "null" } ], "default": null, "description": "Public http(s) URL of the PDF (at most 20 MB; private, internal and IP-literal hosts are refused); or use pdf_base64." }, "pdf_base64": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "string", "maxLength": 13398872, "minLength": 1 }, { "type": "null" } ], "default": null, "description": "The PDF as base64 (at most 10 MB decoded per request); or use url." } } } ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "xfa": true, "pages": [ { "page": 1, "paper": "Letter", "images": 0, "mediabox": [ 0, 0, 611.98, 791.97 ], "rotation": 0, "width_pt": 611.98, "height_pt": 791.97, "text_chars": 5794, "annotations": 23, "orientation": "portrait", "looks_scanned": false, "has_text_layer": true, "image_coverage": 0 }, { "page": 2, "paper": "Letter", "images": 0, "mediabox": [ 0, 0, 611.98, 791.97 ], "rotation": 0, "width_pt": 611.98, "height_pt": 791.97, "text_chars": 8392, "annotations": 0, "orientation": "portrait", "looks_scanned": false, "has_text_layer": true, "image_coverage": 0 }, { "page": 3, "paper": "Letter", "images": 0, "mediabox": [ 0, 0, 611.98, 791.97 ], "rotation": 0, "width_pt": 611.98, "height_pt": 791.97, "text_chars": 7887, "annotations": 0, "orientation": "portrait", "looks_scanned": false, "has_text_layer": true, "image_coverage": 0 }, { "page": 4, "paper": "Letter", "images": 0, "mediabox": [ 0, 0, 611.98, 791.97 ], "rotation": 0, "width_pt": 611.98, "height_pt": 791.97, "text_chars": 7457, "annotations": 0, "orientation": "portrait", "looks_scanned": false, "has_text_layer": true, "image_coverage": 0 }, { "page": 5, "paper": "Letter", "images": 0, "mediabox": [ 0, 0, 611.98, 791.97 ], "rotation": 0, "width_pt": 611.98, "height_pt": 791.97, "text_chars": 6114, "annotations": 0, "orientation": "portrait", "looks_scanned": false, "has_text_layer": true, "image_coverage": 0 }, { "page": 6, "paper": "Letter", "images": 0, "mediabox": [ 0, 0, 611.98, 791.97 ], "rotation": 0, "width_pt": 611.98, "height_pt": 791.97, "text_chars": 3147, "annotations": 0, "orientation": "portrait", "looks_scanned": false, "has_text_layer": true, "image_coverage": 0 } ], "tagged": true, "has_form": true, "encrypted": false, "operation": "inspect", "linearized": false, "page_count": 6, "attachments": 0, "form_fields": 23, "has_outline": false, "input_bytes": 140815, "pdf_version": "1.7", "outline_depth": 0, "outline_items": 0, "sca … (truncated) ``` ## More - Live health (JSON, refreshed every minute): https://www.zero.xyz/c/tanod-pdfpeek-pdf-inspect-30fed648/health.json - [Zero catalog index](https://www.zero.xyz/llms.txt) - [Other services from tanod.dev](https://www.zero.xyz/host/tanod.dev/llms.txt)
