> Tanod pdfpeek – PDF Page Extraction is a paid API for AI agents from tanod.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

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-page-extraction-ebd8d1e8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you extract pages 2 through 5 and the last page from this PDF — https://example.com/report.pdf — and give me just those pages as a new PDF?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract a specific subset of pages from an existing PDF and receive a new PDF containing only those pages. It supports flexible page range notation (individual pages, ranges, open-ended ranges, and 'last'). Prefer it over full-PDF text extraction endpoints when the goal is page-level PDF manipulation rather than text parsing, and over PDF generation endpoints when the source document already exists.

## Known failure modes

- PDF URL is unreachable or returns a non-PDF file — request fails with an error
- PDF exceeds the 20 MB URL limit or 10 MB base64 limit — rejected with size error
- Page range refers to pages that don't exist in the PDF (e.g. page 50 in a 10-page document) — returns an error or empty result
- Malformed page range string that doesn't match the allowed pattern — validation error
- Password-protected PDF that cannot be opened — extraction fails
- Neither url nor pdf_base64 provided — missing input error

## 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 new PDF file containing only the requested pages, returned as binary PDF content. The page numbering in the output reflects the extracted subset, not the original document's page numbers.
