PDF and document to Markdown
document_to_markdownRead-onlyIdempotent
Convert one document at a public URL to Markdown from its text layer: PDF, Word DOCX, Excel XLSX/XLSM/XLSB/XLS, OpenDocument ODS/ODT, CSV, HTML, XML or Apple Numbers, up to 10 MB, Markdown up to 250,000 characters. Not OCR: scanned PDFs, images, PPTX and encrypted files are refused and not charged. Paid only: $0.004 USDC per file. Paid calls made without a payment return isError with the x402 v2 PaymentRequired object (amount in USDC atomic units, network, payTo, HTTP endpoint); retry with the signed PaymentPayload in params._meta["x402/payment"]. Invalid input and calls where every item fails are never charged. Fetches follow robots.txt, use the User-Agent AdamHaleTools/1.0 and refuse private or internal addresses.
