Data Extraction API resources:
The Data Extraction API parses PDFs, scans, images, and Office files into structured output, including spatial JSON and Markdown, or extracts specific fields to a schema with confidence scores and source coordinates.
Credits are the unit of consumption for the Data Extraction API. Parse requests cost 1 credit per page in text mode, 1.5 credits per page in structure mode, 9 credits per page in understand mode, and 18 credits per page in agentic mode. Extract requests add 6 credits per page to the selected Parse mode, for totals of 7, 7.5, 15, or 24 credits per page. Classify requests cost a flat 1 credit per page, regardless of Parse mode. Unused credits do not roll over to the next month.
Understand mode is the recommended default — it handles all document types with structured extraction and semantic enrichment. For Parse, estimate monthly usage as 1 credit per page in text mode, 1.5 credits per page in structure mode, 9 credits per page in understand mode, or 18 credits per page in agentic mode. For Extract, add 6 credits per page to the selected mode. For Classify, estimate a flat 1 credit per page.
Monthly billing charges month-to-month with no commitment. Annual billing is paid upfront for 12 months at a discounted rate.
With pay-as-you-go, processing doesn’t stop when your monthly credits run out. We pre-authorize charges in $25 increments and add credits as you use them, up to a spending cap you control (by default, half your monthly subscription value) — we never charge beyond it. Set the cap to $0 to turn pay-as-you-go off and stop at your monthly limit. You can also upgrade to a higher plan or contact sales for a custom quota.
Yes. The Free plan gives you 5,000 credits/month with no credit card required — enough for 5,000 text Parse pages, about 3,333 structure Parse pages, or about 555 understand Parse pages. For Extract, the same 5,000 credits cover about 714 text + Extract pages, 666 structure + Extract pages, 333 understand + Extract pages, or 208 agentic + Extract pages. For Classify, the same 5,000 credits cover 5,000 pages.
