Welcome to PDF.ai API

PDF.ai API access allows you to chat with your PDF files easily by integrating it with your own application or setup.

Here you'll find all the documentation you need to get up and running with our PDF.ai API.

Let's dive in 👇

Steps involved in using our API

1. You need to generate your API key from your developer page to call our API endpoints (Note: you need to be on the dedicated API plan to get your API key)

2. In order to chat with any PDF you need to have a docId of it

3. To get the docId, upload the PDF using a file or a URL. Or, if the file is uploaded via the web portal, the docId is the last part of the URL

1. After you get the docId use that in your summary or chat endpoints to get the summary or responses to your questions by sending a message
2. If you no longer want to chat with a PDF, then you can remove the PDF using its docId through delete endpoint.
