Tanod pdfpeek PDF Protect 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).
Applies AES-256 password protection and granular permission restrictions to a PDF document, returning the encrypted file as base64.
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.
Returns a JSON object containing the AES-256 encrypted PDF as a base64-encoded string, along with the file name, byte size, page count, content type, the permissions that were applied, input/output byte sizes, and flags indicating whether an owner password was set and whether active content was removed.
POSThttps://tanod.dev/v1/pdf/protect?utm_source=zero.xyzChoose this endpoint when you need server-side AES-256 PDF encryption with fine-grained permission controls (print, copy, annotate, assemble, fill forms, accessibility) without setting up local PDF tooling. Ideal for AI agents that need to secure documents on the fly before delivery. Prefer this over client-side solutions when the PDF is already hosted at a public URL and you want a pay-per-call model with no infrastructure overhead.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| url | — | Public http(s) URL of the PDF (at most 20 MB; private, internal and IP-literal hosts are refused); or use pdf_base64. |
| output | string | base64 (default): the file comes back inline as base64. url: the file is stored for 24 hours and the reply carries a download link (url, expires_at, bytes, content_type, sha256) instead of the base64, which keeps the file out of your context window. |
| pdf_base64 | — | The PDF as base64 (at most 10 MB decoded per request); or use url. |
| permissions | object | What a user-password holder may do (default: everything). |
| user_password | string | Needed to open the PDF; never logged. |
| owner_password | — | Lifts the restrictions; default: a random one nobody knows. |
