LandingAI’s Agentic Document Extraction API can extract structured data from visually complex documents (such as tables, images, and charts) and return hierarchical JSON with precise element locations.

This Python library encapsulates the API, providing the following features:

  • Long document support – Process 100+ page PDFs in a single call

  • Automatic retry/pagination – Handle concurrency, timeouts, and rate limits

  • Utility tools – Bounding box snippets, visualization debugger, etc.

Features

  • Out-of-the-box installation: pip install agentic-doc – No additional dependencies

  • Supports all file types: Parse PDFs of any length, single images, or URLs

  • Long document ready: Automatically split and process 1000+ page PDFs in parallel, then merge results

  • Structured output: Returns hierarchical JSON and directly renderable Markdown

  • True visualization: Optional bounding box snippets and full-page visualization

  • Batch parallel processing: Input a list; the library manages threads and rate limits (BATCH_SIZE, MAX_WORKERS)

  • High fault tolerance: Exponential backoff retries for 408/429/502/503/504 errors and rate limit triggers

  • Ready-to-use helper functions: parse_documents, parse_and_save_documents, parse_and_save_document

  • Configuration via environment variables/.env: Adjust parallelism, logging style, retry limits without code changes

  • Native API support: Advanced users can still directly call REST endpoints
