post/file-convert/v1/extract_tables3 credits

Pull every table out of a PDF / xlsx / docx / html as JSON rows (+optional CSV files). Max 50 tables.

Working example

Parameters

file_b64optional

The input file as base64 (data-URI prefix tolerated). Max 25MB. Provide file_b64 OR file_url. Multipart upload also works: POST the file as the 'file' form field.

file_urloptional

https URL of the input file — fetched server-side through the proxy pool; private/internal/metadata addresses are SSRF-blocked. Max 25MB.

filenameoptional

Optional original filename — used only as a hint (e.g. .md detection); the real format is always sniffed from magic bytes.

passwordoptional

Password for encrypted PDFs. Without it an encrypted input fails cleanly with INVALID_PARAM (we never crack/bypass).

pagesoptional

Page selection, 1-based: '1-3,5,9-' (open ranges OK). Default: all pages.

as_csvoptional

Also return each table as a CSV file.
