What is Docunerve?
Docunerve is a PDF extraction API for developers that turns any PDF - digital, scanned, or complex - into clean Markdown, JSON, or HTML with a single API call. It is built for AI pipelines, RAG systems, and document automation, and every response includes bounding boxes, auto-generated tags, and document metadata at no extra cost. The JSON output adds bounding-box coordinates and page numbers on every element so you can build precise source citations. Docunerve offers two modes: Basic mode (1 credit per page) is a fast, deterministic Java-based engine that processes 60+ pages per second with identical output for identical input, while Hybrid mode (2 credits per page) combines local processing with AI for complex pages and reports 0.907 accuracy across 200 real-world PDFs including scientific papers and multi-column layouts. Hybrid sub-modes handle scanned OCR (80+ languages), LaTeX formulas, and AI image/chart descriptions. It also filters hidden text and invisible layers to guard against prompt-injection attacks. Integration is three lines of code with no SDK, and documents are never stored. Pricing is pay-as-you-go at $0.01 per credit with credits that never expire and 100 free credits on signup.
