Extract data asynchronously from a document with the following steps:
- Use this endpoint to generate a Sensible URL.
- PUT your document at the
upload_url
returned from the previous step. Sensible extracts data from the document. - 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 thecontent_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.
