Parse a Directory of Documents

Overview

Parse all documents in a folder by iterating through files and calling the parse API for each supported file type.

These examples require the Python or TypeScript client library. Before running a script, set your API key and install the library and any required dependencies.

Scripts

Python

from pathlib import Path
from landingai_ade import LandingAIADE

# Initialize client (uses the API key from the VISION_AGENT_API_KEY environment variable)
client = LandingAIADE()

# Replace "data/" with your folder path
data_folder = Path("data/")

for filepath in data_folder.glob("*"):
    # Adjust file types as needed for your use case
    if filepath.suffix.lower() in ['.pdf', '.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg']:
        print(f"Processing: {filepath.name}")

        response = client.parse(
            document=filepath,
            model="dpt-2-latest"
        )
        print(response.chunks)

        # Save markdown output (useful if you plan to run extract on the markdown)
        output_md = filepath.stem + ".md"
        with open(output_md, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
            f.write(response.markdown)
