Async API Endpoints

Overview

The AnyParser API has asynchronous endpoints for its parsing and extraction features. These are asynchronous endpoints that will return a file ID. You can use this file ID to fetch the results of the extraction at a later time. Consider using if you have longer or more complex files. These async endpoints have a timeout of 180 seconds. There are 2 async endpoints:

Endpoint	Description
/async/upload	Upload the file to process and the process type. Returns the file ID.
/async/fetch	Poll the results for a file ID.

Generally, for all async requests, you would upload a file via the /async/upload endpoint, get its file_id, and then poll the /async/fetch endpoint to get the result.

/async/upload

This endpoint is used to upload a file with a specified process_type and get a file ID. You can specify the following for the process_type:

process_type	Description
`parse`	This is the Default. It parses the full content from a file. This has the same functionality as the full-content-parse.parse in the SDK
`parse_with_ocr`	It parses the full content from a file with OCR detection and correction. This has the same functionality as the full-content-parse.parse_with_ocr in the SDK
`parse_with_layout`	It parses the full content from a file with layout structure analysis. This has the same functionality as the full-content-parse.parse_with_layout in the SDK
`extract_pii`	This extracts PII from the document. This has the same functionality as the Extract PII in the SDK
`extract_tables`	This extracts tables from the document. This has the same functionality as the Extract Tables in the SDK
`extract_key_value`	This extracts key-value pairs from the document. This has the same functionality as the Extract Key-Value in the SDK
`extract_resume_key_value`	This extracts the candidate’s information from the resume. This has the same functionality as the Extract Resume Key-Value in the SDK

For more details on how to call this endpoint see the Async Upload Endpoint Example.

/async/fetch

Once you have retrieved the file_id from the /async/upload endpoint, you then send that file_id to the /async/fetch endpoint to retrieve the result. For more details on how to call this endpoint see the Async Upload Endpoint Example.
