How it works

Three steps to structured data

No SDK required. A single HTTP request is all it takes to turn a raw PDF into clean, machine-readable JSON.

01
🔑

Authenticate

Pass your Bearer token in the Authorization header. Tokens are scoped per account and tracked for usage.

Authorization: Bearer <your-token>
02
📤

Upload the PDF

Send a multipart/form-data POST request with the PDF file as the "file" field. Up to 20 MB, any language.

POST /resume
03
✨

Get structured JSON

The API extracts basics, work experiences, education, skills, and languages — ready to consume in any system.
