Extract data asynchronously from a document with the following steps:

1. Use this endpoint to generate a Sensible URL.
2. PUT your document at the upload_url returned from the previous step. Sensible extracts data from the document.
3. To retrieve the extraction, use a webhook, or use the extraction id returned in the response to poll the GET documents/{id} endpoint.

For supported file size and types, see Supported file types.

For example, if your call to /generate_upload_url specifies the document type with a content_type body parameter (recommended), your first two steps are as follows:

Step 1. Generate the Sensible URL:

curl --location 'https://api.sensible.so/v0/generate_upload_url/<YOUR_DOCUMENT_TYPE>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer REDACTED' \
--data '{"content_type":"application/pdf"}'

Step 2. PUT the document:

curl --location --request PUT 'https://sensible-so-utility-bucket-dev-us-west-2.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/REDACTED' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/pdf' \
--data 'YOUR_PATH_TO_DOCUMENT.pdf'

Note that in step 2:

• you must omit an authorization header
• the Content-Type header must match the content_type body parameter in step 1
• the pre-signed upload_url doesn't support Base64 encoded documents, so you PUT the document bytes directly to the endpoint.
