Quick start

Extract text:

from llama_cloud_services import LlamaParse

parser = LlamaParse(
    parse_mode="parse_page_with_agent",
    model="openai-gpt-4-1-mini",
    high_res_ocr=True,
    adaptive_long_table=True,
    outlined_table_extraction=True,
    output_tables_as_HTML=True,
    result_type="markdown",
    project_id=project_id,
    organization_id=organization_id,
)

result = parser.parse("./my_file.pdf")
documents = result.get_markdown_documents(split_by_page=True)

full_text = ""

for document in documents:
    full_text += document.text + "\n\n---\n\n"

For more detailed code implementations, see REFERENCE.md.
