Pull pages out of a PDF

curl -X POST "$DOATHING_API/v1/documents/pdf-split" \
  -H "x-api-key: $DOATHING_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"file": {"filename": "report.pdf", "content_type": "application/pdf", "data_b64": "<base64>"}, "options": {"pages": "2-4"}}'

A page range, or every page as its own file.

Split a PDF by page ranges, or emit one document per page.

Input

Send a file object with base64 data_b64, its content_type and a filename. Accepted types: application/pdf.

The declared type is not trusted — the bytes are sniffed and a contradiction is rejected rather than corrected.

Response

The result carries your remaining balance alongside it, so you can track spend without a second call.

Cost

3 credits per call, whether it is run from the site or from the API — the credential differs, the price does not. A new account starts with 20 credits.

A rejected request still costs a credit: the authorizer decrements before the tool validates. A call rejected for a missing or invalid key is free.
