OptionalapiOptionalchunkingOptionalclientOptionalcombineIf chunking strategy is set, combine elements until a section reaches a length of n chars. Default: 500
OptionalcoordinatesIf True, return coordinates for each element extracted via OCR. Default: False
OptionalenableThe Unstructured SDK has logs they call console.info to
log at request time. Passing true will log these messages.
The default of false will overwrite the console.info function
so that it does not log.
OptionalencodingThe encoding method used to decode the text input. Default: utf-8
OptionalextractThe types of elements to extract, for use in extracting image blocks as base64 encoded data stored in metadata fields.
OptionalgzIf file is gzipped, use this content type after unzipping.
OptionalhiThe name of the inference model used when strategy is hi_res
OptionalhttpOptionalincludeWhen a chunking strategy is specified, each returned chunk will include the elements consolidated to form that chunk as .metadata.orig_elements. Default: true.
OptionalincludeIf true, the output will include page breaks if the filetype supports it. Default: false
OptionallanguagesThe languages present in the document, for use in partitioning and/or OCR. See the Tesseract documentation for a full list of languages.
OptionalmaxIf chunking strategy is set, cut off new sections after reaching a length of n chars (hard max). Default: 500
OptionalmultipageIf chunking strategy is set, determines if sections can span multiple sections. Default: true
OptionalnewIf chunking strategy is set, cut off new sections after reaching a length of n chars (soft max). Default: 1500
OptionalocrDeprecated! The languages present in the document, for use in partitioning and/or OCR
OptionaloutputThe format of the response. Supported formats are application/json and text/csv. Default: application/json.
OptionaloverlapSpecifies the length of a string ('tail') to be drawn from each chunk and prefixed to the next chunk as a context-preserving mechanism. By default, this only applies to split-chunks where an oversized element is divided into multiple chunks by text-splitting. Default: 0
OptionaloverlapWhen True, apply overlap between 'normal' chunks formed from whole elements and not subject to text-splitting. Use this with caution as it entails a certain level of 'pollution' of otherwise clean semantic chunk boundaries. Default: False
OptionalpartitionOptionalpdfDeprecated! Use skip_infer_table_types to opt out of table extraction for any file type. If False and strategy=hi_res, no Table Elements will be extracted from pdf files regardless of skip_infer_table_types contents.
OptionalpostOptionalretryAllows overriding the default retry config used by the SDK
OptionalsecurityThe security details required to authenticate the SDK
OptionalserverAllows overriding the default server used by the SDK
OptionalserverURLAllows overriding the default server URL used by the SDK
OptionalsimilarityA value between 0.0 and 1.0 describing the minimum similarity two elements must have to be included in the same chunk. Note that similar elements may be separated to meet chunk-size criteria; this value can only guarantees that two elements with similarity below the threshold will appear in separate chunks.
OptionalskipThe document types that you want to skip table extraction with. Default: []
OptionalsplitNumber of maximum concurrent requests made when splitting PDF. Ignored on backend.
OptionalsplitShould the pdf file be split at client. Ignored on backend.
OptionalstartingWhen PDF is split into pages before sending it into the API, providing this information will allow the page number to be assigned correctly. Introduced in 1.0.27.
OptionalstrategyOptionaltimeoutOptionaluniqueWhen True, assign UUIDs to element IDs, which guarantees their uniqueness (useful when using them as primary keys in database). Otherwise a SHA-256 of element text is used. Default: False
OptionalxmlIf True, will retain the XML tags in the output. Otherwise it will simply extract the text from within the tags. Only applies to XML documents.
Use one of the supported strategies to chunk the returned elements after partitioning. When 'chunking_strategy' is not specified, no chunking is performed and any other chunking parameters provided are ignored. Supported strategies: 'basic', 'by_page', 'by_similarity', or 'by_title'
