# Document Operation API — 9 document jobs, one wallet

> A stateless document-operation API. Send markup or a file over HTTP, get bytes back. Nothing is stored: work happens in a tmpfs workspace that is unlinked before the response is sent. Paid for with one-time credit packs that never expire — no subscription, and no feature gating between tiers.

## What is here

9 operations on documents, sold from one balance of credits. Credits are bought
once and **never expire**. There is no subscription, and no feature is gated by pack size — the
only difference between packs is volume.

## Products

### 1. Markup to PDF

Markdown, HTML or Typst in, PDF bytes out, with stored templates so a repeated document is an id and a data object.

| Endpoint | Credits |
|---|---|
| POST /api/v1/render | 1 per document, +1 per 10 pages over 10 |
| POST /api/v1/render/batch | 1 per document, failures refunded |
| POST /api/v1/render/from-template | 1 per document |
| /api/v1/templates | free |

### 2. Private document operations

Redaction that removes the glyphs and then proves they are gone, and metadata stripping. Nothing is stored.

| Endpoint | Credits |
|---|---|
| POST /api/v1/redact | 2 per operation |
| POST /api/v1/metadata/strip | 1 per operation |
| POST /api/v1/metadata/inspect | free, no API key |

### 3. Any document to markdown

PDFs, Office files and scans to clean markdown with heading-aware chunks. Each page is classified before it is charged, so text pages cost a tenth of a scanned one.

| Endpoint | Credits |
|---|---|
| POST /api/v1/parse | 1 per 10 text pages, 1 per OCR page |
| POST /api/v1/parse/batch | same rates, failures refunded |

### 5. PDF operations

Merge, split, compress, rotate, watermark, reorder, extract pages and unlock, one credit each.

| Endpoint | Credits |
|---|---|
| POST /api/v1/pdf/merge | 1 per operation |
| POST /api/v1/pdf/split | 1 per operation, returns a ZIP |
| POST /api/v1/pdf/compress | 1 per operation |
| POST /api/v1/pdf/rotate | 1 per operation |
| POST /api/v1/pdf/watermark | 1 per operation |
| POST /api/v1/pdf/reorder | 1 per operation |
| POST /api/v1/pdf/extract-pages | 1 per operation |
| POST /api/v1/pdf/unlock | 1 per operation, password required |

### 6. Web page to markdown or PDF

One named page, rendered with adverts, cookie walls and trackers blocked, then reduced to its main content. Not a crawler: it follows no links.

| Endpoint | Credits |
|---|---|
| POST /api/v1/extract | 1 per page |
| POST /api/v1/extract/preview | free, no API key |

### 7. Document format conversion

Conversion between document formats, where every pair offered was measured rather than advertised.

| Endpoint | Credits |
|---|---|
| POST /api/v1/convert | 1 per document |
| POST /api/v1/convert/free | free, no API key |

### 8. PDF tables to a spreadsheet

Tables out of a PDF as CSV, XLSX or JSON, with no template to configure. Charged per table-bearing page, and the detector says which pages those are before anything is billed.

| Endpoint | Credits |
|---|---|
| POST /api/v1/tables | 3 per table-bearing page |
| POST /api/v1/tables/detect | free, no API key |

### 10. Spreadsheet cleaning

Charsets, delimiters, header rows and column types repaired, with a free preview of every cell that would change before anything is accepted.

| Endpoint | Credits |
|---|---|
| POST /api/v1/spreadsheet/clean | 2 plus 1 per 500 rows |
| POST /api/v1/spreadsheet/preview | free, no API key |

### 11. YouTube transcripts

A video URL in, its transcript out as txt, srt, vtt or json with timings. Captions only: it reads the track YouTube already has and does not transcribe audio, so a video with no captions returns nothing rather than a guess. No video or audio is downloaded on any path.

| Endpoint | Credits |
|---|---|
| POST /api/v1/youtube | 1 per video |
| POST /api/v1/youtube/preview | free, no API key |

## Free tools, no account

Some run entirely in your browser and send nothing at all; the rest call the API without a
key, with a lower size cap and a per-address rate limit. Every tool page says which it is.
